Looks like some of them as base guaranteed purses and some include PPV revenue.

The money that McGregor farce made was unreal. I still cannot believe so many people bought it.

Re: Floyd Mayweather has earned over $800 million throughout his career
Well that's why he is more of a business man than a boxer, there is a reason why he ducked so many fights and never become the undisputed champ in any division, because he fought the fights that only helps him to earn money, instead of being an undisputed and respectable champion of any weight division in boxing.

• Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been a professional boxer for two decades

He literally lost to Castillo in the first fight, saved by biased judges.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑20 Mar 2020, 11:45

If that's your first and main argument, it won't work because not only he actually lost a fight, he was also ducking fights all the time.
Also one of his fights was practically a joke, which was against an mma fighter in his first pro boxing fight, LOL. It's better to call it 48-1.
And because of ducking the fights, he was never the undisputed champion in any weight division.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑20 Mar 2020, 11:45

Search his name, you will not find it.
You also can't find a single Floyd fight outside of USA, how can you be a great champion if you don't even fight outside of your home, not even once.
