If you’re wondering why Floyd Mayweather is boxing MMA star Conor McGregor later this month, he broke it down quick and simple on the first episode of Showtime’s “All Access: Mayweather v. McGregor”.
He said, quote, “I mean, am I the highest-paid athlete out there? . . . We not talking about no contract. We not talking about no contract for no four years, or no contract for no five years. I can do it in 36 minutes.
So, let’s do the math, “$300 million in 36 minutes…that’s more than $8 million per MINUTE. I would stand in there for 36 minutes running from him (hoping my 2 years of Taekwondo would come in handy) for 36 minutes for that kind of pay day!
Conor Mc Gregor will make $100 million for the fight, but he isn’t compaining, because that will be the largest payday for an MMA fighter.
That’s not too shabby either!
