Can Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. run away from a guaranteed $120 million purse to fight Manny Pacquiao? That figure is the new offer from an investment group based from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates as per M. Albar Muhammad a long-time boxing enthusiast and promoter.

“The media has been speculating the offer has gone up $10 million to a guaranteed $120 million, and they’re right,” confidently confirmed Muhammad to BS.com. “That said, I defy any other offer to come anywhere close to what Mr. Mayweather and the ‘Money Team’ will net by fighting in Abu Dhabi. It simply can’t and won’t be done. Such is the nature of today’s international financial landscape.”

Muhammad went on to challenge Mayweather Jr. and become “cutting edge” and a “trend-setter” as accepting their offer would mean “the largest payday for an individual fora single event in the history of sports.”
