      Mayweather, 43 booted Anna, 29, out of their mansion as he went into ‘full fight mode’ for the dust-up at the Hard Rock Stadium.
      But sources say the pair are now set to enjoy a holiday and may even wed by the end of this year.
      A pal said: “Anna was one of the first people Floyd saw after the fight.
      “It’s been several weeks since they were together so they have a lot of catching up to do. 
      “Absence has made the heart grow fonder and they are now looking forward to a long, long holiday where they will continue to plan their nuptials.
      “A lot of people suggested their relationship was on the rocks after he asked Anna to leave his mansion.
      “Nothing could be further from the truth.
      “They are very happy but Floyd was just in full fight mode and wanted to give the bout his total attention.”

      Monroe showed last week what Mayweather is missing after showing off her body on social media.
      Last month, SunSport revealed how Floyd had sent Anna flowers draped in dollar bills – as a peace offering for kicking her out their mansion.
      The 1996 Olympic bronze medallist proposed to Anna – lead dancer at his Las Vegas club Girl Collection – shortly after news of their relationship was revealed by The Sun earlier this year.
      They have been dating for some months and the Brit-American moved into his Vegas compound – which boasts 11 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms and two guest houses.

      Inside Mayweather’s amazing lifestyle, from homes in LA, Miami and Las Vegas, to a £20m car collection and £14m watch

      HE’S in the money.Floyd Mayweather, 44, has reportedly earned a mint for his exhibition bout against YouTuber Logan Paul.

      And even though he didn’t achieve the knockout he wanted in their eight-round contest in Miami, Floyd has claimed he could be as much as £72million richer for stepping back into the ring.
      His paydays over the years have afforded him an amazing lifestyle, sharing video and photos inside his incredible homes, showing off his latest rides, as well as his expensive jewellery.
      It’s a life he’s built all himself – being one of only a handful of sportsman in the world ever to earn over $1billion (£760million) in his career – with reports saying it might be as much as £2.4billion.
      Here’s where some of that money went…
      THREE AMAZING HOMES
      Mayweather doesn’t skimp when it comes to property.
      That’s why he’s got THREE incredible mansions dotted around the country – in LA, Las Vegas, and Miami.
      His most recent purchase is his Nevada compound that cost a whopping £7.8million.
      The undefeated boxing champ’s Vegas mansion features 11 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a gym.
      There’s also a wine cellar and his own vineyard, as well as two detached underground garages that house his mega car collection – more to come on that later.
      His LA abode in Beverly Hills set him back an eye-watering £19million.

      The six-bed, 10-bathroom property has everything a sports superstar could want, and his love of wine continues with a 225 wine rack he’s showed off before on social media fixed on the kitchen wall.
      There’s also a 12-seat cinema room, complete with its very own sweet shop loaded with popcorn, chocolate and liquorice.
      While his Miami beachfront five-bedroom house is the perfect holiday home.
      Mayweather bought the 5,200-square-foot £5.3million digs in 2015, but is rarely seen there.
      It features a sleek design, with an open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows in place of walls.
      Outside, there’s a ‘zero-edge’ swimming pool and spa, and the mansion also comes with a private dock as part of its boatload of features.
      SO MANY CARS
      It’s no secret that Mayweather loves his motors.
      But he often only gets them in two colours – white or black. Either way, he has to have two of each stored in LA and Las Vegas.
      And it’s reckoned that his car collection is worth around £20million.

      He has a series of Rolls-Royces worth over a staggering £3million, as well as four Bugatti Veyron supercars that cost £1.7million.
      Other notable rides include a Lamborghini Aventador (£275,000), as well as a Ferrari 488 worth around £238,000.
      Recent additions to Mayweather’s LA fleet are his Mercedes G63 AMG (£155,000), and he even has his own branded van.
      And if it’s not wheels he’s after, wings work too.
      Mayweather is believed to own three private jets, including one he calls ‘Air Mayweather.’
      He bought a £50million Gulfstream G650 jet as a birthday present for himself in 2018.
      Often, he shares snaps online playing high-stakes poker with mates on board.
      The plane is, of course, emblazoned with his TMT ‘The Money Team’ logo and his undefeated 50-0 professional boxing record.
      AND THE JEWELLERY

      And the Michigan-born ringmaster loves jewellery, including having a penchant for watches… expensive ones, at that.

      Made by Jacob & Co, it’s actually called ‘The Billionaire Watch’ and was made in 2015.

      It features 239 emerald-cut baguette diamond stones, each weighing up to 3 carats and looks bedazzling.
      While, when Mayweather is courtside catching an NBA game he’s often seen draped in pure gold necklaces weighing up to 11kg.
      Diamonds are certainly this man’s best friend. More

      Jake Paul vs Canelo Alvarez: How boxers compare as YouTuber calls out Mexican for mocking Mayweather fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL wasted little time after his brother Logan’s fight with Floyd Mayweather.. by calling out super middleweight king Canelo Alvarez.The Mexican, 30, was critical of old foe Mayweather’s decision to fight the elder Paul brother – labelling it as ‘irrelevant’.

      Here’s how Jake Paul and Canelo stack up
      Jake Paul wasted no time in calling out CaneloCredit: Getty Images – Getty
      And after Mayweather, 44, failed to knock Paul out in their eight-round exhibition bout, Canelo took to Twitter to take another dig.
      He posted a facepalm emoji, presumably bemused at the spectacle.
      But Jake hit back straight away, ripping into the legendary 56-2-1 fighter – and calling him out in the process.
      He quote tweeted Canelo’s initial post, writing: “You can’t sell PPV’s.
      “I would eat you alive.”
      Given Canelo’s dismissive attitude towards the YouTuber brothers, he would be very unlikely to take a fight against one of them.
      But if he did, he’d obviously dominate every category.
      At 30, Canelo is at the peak of his powers compared to Jake at 24.

      The Problem Child has won all three of his professional fights, but against extremely limited opposition.
      He dispatched of AnEsonGib and former NBA star Nate Robinson – before defeating former Bellator and ONE Championship belt-holder Ben Askren in April.
      Canelo, on the other hand, has an incredible resume that has seen him win a remarkable 56 of his 59 pro bouts.
      The legendary fighter has only ever lost once.
      And that was to Mayweather eight years ago.
      Canelo has drawn twice, against Gennady Golovkin in 2017, and as a 15-year-old against Jorge Juarez in Mexico.

      Paul easily knocked out Ben Askren in AprilCredit: Getty
      Paul won all three of his bouts by knockout, while Canelo has produced an amazing 38 across his career.
      Paul is the bigger man at 6ft 1in and 86kg, with Alvarez standing at just 5ft 9in and is ten kilos lighter.
      Both fighters use an orthodox stance.
      One category in which Paul does undoubtedly win is that of social media followers.
      He has 15.9m on Instagram compared to Canelo’s 9.7m.
      He also has 3.9m on Twitter – considerably more than Canelo’s 1.7m.

      Inside Logan Paul’s amazing mansions, owning drug guru Timothy Leary’s former desert ranch to a stunning £5m LA mansion

      by

      LOGAN PAUL is king of the YouTubers when it comes to his property portfolio.The internet personality, who put on a brave display against Floyd Mayweather in their eight-round exhibition fight, has earned millions from posting content on his channel that has 26 million subscribers.
      YouTuber Logan Paul with Ginger, his pet Tibet Mastiff dogCredit: Instagram @LoganPaul
      And it is reported that he may earn up to £14million for his efforts – evading a knockout by ‘Money Mayweather’.
      Paul, 26, has generated enough wealth to buy houses you and I could only dream of.
      The Maverick loves living in the Valley in Los Angeles, and has a stunning mansion in Encino.
      And he also added a desert ranch formally owned by LSD-advocate Timothy Leary for around £800,000.
      Take a peek inside his digs below.
      HIS FIRST HOME
      Sure, he rented an apartment in Hollywood.
      But in 2017 Logan dropped £4.8m on a 9,000 square foot home in the heart of Encino – for his first home.
      The gated estate was built in the 1970s and sits within a sought-after neighbourhood in the San Fernando Valley region of LA.

      Looking like a modern farmhouse, it has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, wine cellars, four fireplaces, a movie theatre room, and a kitchen with a large island.
      It was believed to have been previously owned by Whose Line Is It Anyway? comedian Ryan Stiles.
      It’s often nicknamed the Maverick House, which is the name of his merchandise brand – that also features a clothing label.
      Sidenote, Maverick is also the name of his pet parrot.
      THE DESERT RANCH
      Given that Paul is a man who clearly likes to party, his new house is the perfect setting for that kind of lifestyle.
      Recently he splashed around £800,000 on a desert ranch that used to be owned by drugs guru Timothy Leary in the 1960s.
      Leary lived in the home with around 30 ‘Hippie Mafia’ pals and it’s where it’s believed he manufactured LSD.
      Surrounded by the San Jacinto Mountains in California, the property is spread across 80 acres.
      ‘The Brotherhood of Eternal Love’, as they were known, lived in the outhouses, which includes a guesthouse and bunkhouse, while Leary and his wife stayed in the ranch house.
      Paul recently bought a desert ranch for around £800k
      The desert ranch was formerly owned by 60s drugs guru Timothy Leary
      It was famously believed that LSD was made at the ranch
      The studio boasts huge windows
      The main house has two bedrooms
      The expansive living room can be warmed up by a freestanding fireplace
      The kitchen is perfect for entertaining guests
      The dining room has ample space to throw a dinner party
      The massive garden contains a very makeshift pool
      The main home has two bedrooms, an expansive living room, as well as a freestanding fireplace.
      In the master bedroom, you will find wood beams, and another custom fireplace
      The property also features a barn, two-car garage and two solar panel systems for power.

      Water comes naturally through a pair of springs that feed a 70,000-gallon water tank.
      And there’s a 500-square-foot studio that’s fitted with angled skylights and is surrounded by walls of glass that’ll be perfect for Paul to record videos for his YouTube channel in.
      One question, Logan; when can we come round?

      Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul LIVE RESULTS: Paul goes DISTANCE against Money Man and calls out Canelo – latest reaction

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER has defeated Logan Paul in a bizarre boxing exhibition fight in Miami.The 44-year-old Money Man – who beat Conor McGregor and Tenshin Nasukawa in his last two fights – was unable to stop YouTuber Paul, 26, as the bout went the FULL eight rounds.
      And Logan Paul has called out Canelo Alvarez, saying: “You can’t sell pay-per-views. I would eat you alive.”
      Follow ALL of the latest reaction from Miami below…
      JAKE’S OPINION MISPLACED?
      Jake Paul feels his brother Logan won. All the stats and opinions from everywhere else suggest the contrary.

      ‘LOGAN WON’
      Casey Neistat showed support for fellow Youtuber Logan after the fight, expressing a similar sentiment many took from the fight.
      If noise grows that Mayweather actually lost could we see the pair back in the ring for a rematch?
      Only time will tell.

      MAYWEATHER ON PACQUIAO
      Floyd Mayweather has taken a swipe at former opponent Manny Pacquiao after his exhibition with Logan Paul.
      The 44-year-old said: “Pacquiao at his age [42], which is sad, has to fight. I’m financially set, and I want to make everybody hear this.
      “You’re going to hear a lot of people say ‘Floyd needed to do this’, no, I’m well off.
      “Every property that I have is paid for, my jet is paid for, all my cars are paid for, I own billion-dollar buildings, I own so much property, I’ve steadily invested in many different things.
      “I’m invested in the tech world, I’ve made a lot of smart investments.”
      Pacquiao will fight welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr in August.

      PAUL OVER
      FLOYD MAYWEATHER has closed the door on a fight with Jake Paul after his clash with the YouTuber’s brother Logan.
      The former five-weight world champion went the distance with Logan in their eight-round exhibition in the early hours of the morning.
      It was thought Mayweather would make a beeline for Jake after the fight given their scuffle in Miami last month.

      MUPPET SHOW?
      We won’t lie, the fun being had on social media by those reacting to this fight is quite amusing. And scarily accurate in parts…

      MAYWEATHER’S POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW

      JAKE WANTS CONOR
      The Paul brothers are still not satisfied after this morning’s fight and Jake is eyeing another big name, Conor McGregor.
      But apparently the former UFC double-champ is not paying him any attention.

      DID FLOYD HOLD LOGAN UP?
      Did Mayweather hold up Paul for eight rounds? Certainly looked like he had him in trouble here.

      MONEY MAY
      Mayweather reportedly earned around £72million for the fight last night.
      Here is what he had to say about those questioning his legacy for taking the exhibition bout.
      “They say, ‘It’s not all about the money.’ Well, your kids can’t eat legacy,” he said.
      “The patches on my trunks, [earned me] $30million alone. So who’s really the smartest one in the sport of boxing?
      “When it comes to legalised bank robbing, I’m the best.”

      ‘I’M NOT COMING BACK TO BOXING’
      Floyd Mayweather confirmed after his exhibition with Logan Paul that he will not return to boxing.

      HUG IT OUT
      Nicola Adams is one boxer who has mocked the style of Paul vs Mayweather, criticising the lack of actual boxing.
      But perhaps she is just a little relieved after her promise of giving away a free PS5 to each Twitter follower – if Logan won – did not come to fruition.

      POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW
      In case you haven’t seen it already, here is Logan Paul’s post-fight interview.

      JAKE SAYS LOGAN WON
      Jake Paul has claimed his brother Logan WON his exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
      The elder Paul brother went the distance with the pound-for-pound king in the early hours of the morning in Miami, Florida.
      And while almost everyone universally agreed that although there was no official result that Mayweather was the clear winner, Jake did not see it that way.

      CASHING IN
      Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul have already made millions, but they’ve got even richer this weekend.
      Mayweather has previously said he’s likely to earn around £72million for his bout with Paul.
      “I can fight a fighter right now and I can guarantee myself $35million (£25m). I can eventually probably make $50million (£36m) for just a regular fight,” Mayweather said.
      “Or me and Logan Paul can go out, entertain, have fun and make nine figures $100million (£72m) or more.”
      Meanwhile, Paul told TMZ that he’s likely to make around $20m (£14m) for his huge eight-rounder with Mayweather in Miami.

      FLOYD CLEARLY WON
      The fight may have lasted the duration but the stats show there was only one winner, Floyd Mayweather.
      A reminder of the figures from the fight clearly acknowledge that the boxing legend got the better of his opponent.
      The 44-year-old unsurprisingly outboxed Logan Paul and landed 27.3% more punches than his opponent, via Boxing Scene.

      KS-I’M THE BEST
      British YouTuber KSI has bragged he is the ‘best boxer in the world’ after Floyd Mayweather failed to knockout Logan Paul.
      The 27-year-old beat his rival in their professional fight in November 2019 after winning via split decision.
      But boxing legend Mayweather, 44, could only draw against his American compatriot in their exhibition bout at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
      Without a knockout, there was no winner declared, though most observers ringside agreed that Mayweather won the majority of the rounds.
      Following the contest, KSI – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – took to social media to declare himself the best fighter on the planet.
      He tweeted: “So…You’re saying I’m now the best boxer in the world?”

      LOGAN’S HAUL
      Logan Paul has now, potentially, doubled his yearly intake.
      The YouTuber, 26, took on Floyd Mayweather on Sunday – lasting the full eight rounds in their exhibition bout to score an amazing moral victory.
      Although Paul was outclassed during the contest, ‘Money Mayweather’ didn’t achieve the knockout many expected him to and even conceded, “He’s better than I thought he was” about his opponent.
      Before the fight, it was estimated the YouTube star could earn as much as $20million (£14milion).
      That’s roughly the same amount he reportedly earns yearly from his social media exploits, including from YouTube, his Impaulsive podcast and through advertising with the likes of Pepsi and Virgin Mobile.
      Incredibly, the social media personality turned boxer once revealed he made £2million from his own merchandise, Maverick Clothing in just three days.
      Forget ‘Money Mayweather’, Paul is making his own fortune inside and outside the ring now.

      PAUL A FAST ONE
      Boxing fans claim Floyd Mayweather ‘knocked out Logan Paul’ but the iconic superstar ‘held him up’ to keep the fight going.
      Mayweather was in control throughout and landed some clean shots, which Paul to his credit was able to withstand.
      A counter right hand in round five was the pick of the bunch, as he evaded Paul’s hook and fired back.
      It caused the social media star to desperately hold on – but in the eyes of some it was instead Mayweather holding him up to prolong the fight for entertainment purposes.
      One Twitter user said: “Floyd Mayweather actually knocked out Logan Paul, but held him up during the fight to carry it through 8 rounds.”
      One responded: “They scamming people who paid to watch them.”
      Another commented: “Joke.”
      Another, in disagreement, commented: “If this is serious you’re an idiot.. You think floyd could hold him up? Dont be silly.”
      Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul – Round by Round
      HUG IT OUT
      Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul’s exhibition bout was blasted ‘the worst fight of all time’ and ‘battle of the cuddles’.
      Safety first tactics saw Paul avoid the KO defeat many predicted, though fans were left fuming.
      One said: “I really just watched a 8 round hugging match for 30 mins.”
      Another said: “They robbed everyone in the arena and on PPV. Worst fight ever.”
      One, posting a video of Mayweather promising a KO, posted: “Battle Of The Cuddles.”

      LOG OFF
      Johnny Nelson said Floyd Mayweather had a ‘reality check’ and his ‘pride dented’ against Logan Paul and will NOT fight the brother Jake.
      Nelson said it is a sign the boxing legend should hang up the gloves for good having been unable to stop his much larger yet inexperienced opponent.
      And he reckons Mayweather will avoid a fight with Logan’s younger brother Jake, who is 3-0 all by knockout in his own career.
      Nelson, 54, said on Sky Box Office: “I don’t think Floyd would.
      “I think he’s had a reality check today, saying, ‘You know what, I’ve rinsed this as much as I can’
      “I think probably his pride’s been dented a little bit by not getting rid of him.
      “I’m quite sure he’d love to be able to close the show tonight but he just couldn’t close it how he wanted to.”

      ‘MAVERICK’
      Logan Paul proved he wasn’t nervous as he even joked about by wearing a £100,000 Pokemon card while entering the ring.
      Though it is fair to say Mayweather took it equally seriously by wearing an ‘Only Fans’ cap in his ringwalk.
      One thing’s for sure, it will be interesting to see what the pair have up their sleeve next if Paul vs Mayweather 2 happens.

      ‘I NEVER GOT NERVOUS’
      Logan Paul was as brash as ever in his post-match press conference, and who can blame him after going eight rounds with Floyd Mayweather.
      Here is what he had to say on how he felt moments before the fight began: “I was waiting to get nervous, and never did…scares me.
      “Makes me question my humanity. I asked Milton and Jeff, when am I going to get nervous, when is my heart going to star beating fast…it never did. I’ve got to get checked out.”

      ‘NO CHANCE’
      Logan’s success was all down to WWE superstar Sami Zayn says…Sami Zayn.
      Way to toot your own horn.
      I’ll say this, @LoganPaul no doubt worked his ass off and proved a lot of people wrong, but if he never meets Sami Zayn, he never realigns his perspective, and no chance he goes 8 rounds with Floyd Mayweather. I’m glad to have played my part in this historic bout.#FloydvsLogan— Sami Zayn (@SamiZayn) June 7, 2021

      HAVE YOUR SAY
      It was a tighter contest than many would have anticipated and there are plenty of people who’d like to see a repeat of this contest to establish a definitive winner. What do YOU think?

      Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition was blasted ‘the worst fight of all time’
      Logan Paul spent much of the fight grabbing onto his opponent
      Due to the fight being an exhibition there could not be a winner without a knockout.
      And though Mayweather landed a big punch that had Paul wobbling, the 50-0 boxer followed it up by supporting his opponent’s weight, more or less keeping Paul upright when he could have hit the canvas.
      The likes of Jake Paul and fellow Youtuber Casey Neistat have claimed victory for Logan.
      But the dull fight, characterised by Paul’s insistence on clinching whenever possible, reminded SunSport of five of the most boring fights in boxing history.
      Wladimir Klitschko vs Sultan Ibragimov
      Klitschko forged a reputation for his efficient but uninspiring style during his career, and a 2008 fight against Ibragimov typified that.
      The Ukrainian dominated the affair from start to finish, using his jab to good effect, keeping Ibragimov at distance and occasionally landing heavy shots.
      A big right hand in the ninth round almost knocked Ibragimov down but the fight went all 12 rounds.
      Klitschko won on points but the Madison Square Garden crowd let their displeasure known as boos rang out after the final bell.

      Audley Harrison vs Danny Williams, 2005
      As a fight between bitter rivals with the Commonwealth heavyweight title on the line this could have been one to remember.
      Instead both boxers lacked quality with a number of wayward and out of control punches thrown.
      Both fighters ran out of gas and that was evident in the latter rounds, leading to Paul vs Mayweather style hugging, but Williams did enough early on to claim a very narrow victory – one judge actually scored in Harrison’s favour.
      Bernard Hopkins vs Ronald ‘Winky’ Wright
      This was a close encounter between two very skilled a similarly matched fighters, so it is no surprise that an entertainment factor was lacking.
      Hopkins’ physical and aggressive style of putting his head in made it difficult for Wright, and it was not until a head clash – which produced a gash above Wright’s eye – that the fight became more of a spectacle.
      In a 2015 interview Wright said of Hopkins: “He’s very cagey. He tries to take away what you use. He’d try to take you out of your game and make you fight his game.”
      Hopkins won the fight via unanimous decision.
      A head clash opened up a nasty gash above Ronald Wright’s left eye
      Amir Khan vs Lamont Peterson
      This was perhaps more exciting than the other fights in the list giving Khan knocked down Peterson in the first round.
      The Brit also had two points deducted and further controversy ensued once the judges unveiled their scorecards.
      Peterson was judged to be the winner but Khan’s team noticed that the scorecards had been interfered with by a man at ringside, later identified as Mustafa Ameen, who was affiliated with the IBF but had no reason to be involved.
      The WBA ordered a rematch as a result but it never materialised due to Peterson failing a drugs test.

      Joseph Parker vs Razvan Cajanu
      A slow a laboured show between two big heavyweights, there was only ever going to be one winner.
      Cajanu soaked up the punches well and looked to taunt Parker, but he struggled to make any other impact, other than edging his opponent in round eight and lasting until the final bell.
      Parker did not exactly entertain, disappointing the Sky Sports viewers who watched in anticipation of his upcoming fight against Anthony Joshua, which followed almost a year later in the end.

      Paul, 26, secured a moral victory after taking Mayweather’s best punches, leading the boxing legend to laud his toughness.
      Incredibly, Paul was harder to hit than two-weight UFC world champion McGregor, who was knocked out by Mayweather in August 2017.
      In Showtime stats, Mayweather landed 50 per cent of his jabs (seven out of 14) on Paul.
      The 1996 Olympic bronze medallist connected with 18 jabs on McGregor, though he did throw a total of 59 jabs.
      The 15-time world champion landed 152 out of 261 power punches on the Notorious (58 per cent).
      Again Paul was on the receiving end of fewer than McGregor, with Mayweather landing just 36 out of 93 power punches (39 per cent).
      In total, Mayweather landed with 40 per cent of the punches he threw on Paul (43 out of 107).
      During his dust-up against the MMA king, Mayweather had a 53 per cent punch accuracy after connecting on 170 occasions out of 320.

      Following the bout, Mayweather – who won world titles in five weight classes – stated he is unlikely to compete in exhibition events in the future.
      He said: “I wanted to give people a show and he was fighting to survive, he was the bigger guy but his background was wrestling so was good at tying me up.
      “This was like a training session really. Just going the distance was a win for him. He can grapple and was good at holding.
      “When a guy that size is holding you, it’s hard to get him off you. I had fun, he did too. It was cool.
      “I was training a few days a week, so for me to be retired, be a grandfather and fight a guy in his 20’s, when the money comes, we will see who the winner is.”

      How much money did Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather earn from fight?

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER and Logan Paul have already made millions, but they’ve got even richer this weekend.Floyd Mayweather was the victor in a bizarre exhibition bout, but he was surprisingly taken the distance by the YouTuber.

      Celebrities, athletes and stars alike were in attendance at the home of the Miami Dolphins to witness Mayweather’s return to the ring and Paul’s second professional outing in one.
      And both are set to be handsomely paid for the glitzy event.
      How much is Floyd Mayweather getting paid to fight Logan Paul?
      Mayweather will make a tonne of money for his clash with Paul this weekend.
      The 50-0 megastar routinely made nine figures toward the back end of his career for his pay-per-view fight events.
      He’s also been involved in the top two highest-grossing pay-per-view events in boxing history with his fights against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor.
      And the former five-weight world champion will earn a hefty pay-day once again on Sunday.

      Mayweather has previously said he’s likely to earn around £72million for his bout with Paul.
      “I can fight a fighter right now and I can guarantee myself $35million (£25m). I can eventually probably make $50million (£36m) for just a regular fight,” Mayweather said.
      “Or me and Logan Paul can go out, entertain, have fun and make nine figures $100million (£72m) or more.”

      How much is Logan Paul getting paid to fight Floyd Mayweather?
      Paul is also getting paid a lot, not that he’s aching for a huge pay-day or anything, as he already makes millions from his YouTube channel.
      The 26-year-old’s has racked up billions of hits on his channel and has over 23 million subscribers on the video-based platform.
      Paul, however, will still be making just a fraction of what Mayweather, his richer counterpart, will be.

      The viral sensation told TMZ that he’s likely to make around $20m (£14m) for his huge eight-rounder with Mayweather in Miami.
      Paul hasn’t fought since November 2019, when he dropped a decision to fellow YouTube mogul KSI in the rematch from their amateur bout in 2018.
      Though Mayweather is the more experienced, Paul boasts extensive physical advantages, including height, weight and reach.
      How do the figures break down?
      Floyd Mayweather is reportedly set to earn an up front fee for the fight of around £7m.
      Logan Paul meanwhile will earn a reported £175,000.
      In addition to those figures, Mayweather is set to gain 50 per cent of whatever the pay-per-view revenue turns out to be while Paul will earn 10 per cent.
      The fight is expected to break the PPV records previously set by Mayweather’s fight against Conor McGregor in 2017. More
