Fifty is a nice round number, but it
can’t compare to the nine figures on the check Floyd Mayweather
collected after beating Manny Pacquiao on Saturday (Sunday, Nigerian
time).
“For my team to hand me a $100m check is
remarkable,” said Mayweather, whose take from the long-awaited
mega-fight with Pacquiao could eventually swell to as high as $200m once
all the record-breaking revenue is counted.
The man who has named himself “Money” said the payout was all part of a “brilliant game plan” for his career.
“My goal was to make nine figures in one night,” he said. The 38-year-old American, an 11-time
world champion in five weight divisions, would have you believe that aim
has been the driving force of a 19-year career, in which he’s now won
all 48 of his fights.
