Mayweather is unlikely to earn $100 million from the Logan Paul fight

 

Floyd Mayweather, 44, is unlikely to make the $100 million payoff expected for his last fight with Logan Paul in Miami. Mayweather, 44, fought Paul in an eight-round exhibition on Sunday.

Mayweather claimed he could earn up to $100 million (£71 million) from the fight, whereas Paul was expected to make around $26 million (£14 million) after PPV and other expenses were included in.

However, Dave Meltzer, an American writer whose pay-per-view purchase calculations are well-respected in boxing, estimates that Mayweather v Paul drew between 600,000 and 650,000 buys, however these are only estimates at this point.

Mayweather is said to be entitled to half of the PPV buys for the fight, which will cost $49.99 (£35) in the United States.
