All the while, he\u2019s \u201cgetting crazy money for it.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve already made $30 million just building up to the fight,\u201d Mayweather revealed. Purely for the pre-fight entertainment, the boxing icon has made more than Paul could make when all is said and done. As for his guaranteed purse on fight night, Mayweather didn\u2019t go into specifics. While he didn\u2019t confirm an exact figure, he teased that at least another \u201c$50 million\u201d could be in the cards just for showing up. \u201cThat\u2019s not bad for a guy that\u2019s retired,\u201d he joked.

The relevant topic begins at the 7:40 mark below Despite not treating it as a \u201creal fight,\u201d Mayweather is certainly getting paid as if it were. Earlier predictions saw a nine-figure payday in the cards, and he\u2019s well on his way to clearing that sum.
