Of course both Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor could potentially earn much more depending on the success of the pay-per-view event.
Conor McGregor was last seen in combat at November’s UFC 205 event in New York, where he earned a second-round knockout victory over Eddie Alvarez to become the UFC’s undisputed lightweight champion of the world.
As for Floyd Mayweather, “Money” has not competed inside the squared circle in over two years. In his most recent appearance Mayweather earned a unanimous decision victory over Andre Berto.
