To get an idea of how much money Mayweather could earn, these are the only contracts in sports history to exceed the $180 million he's expected to make on May 2:
• Giancarlo Stanton, Miami Marlins, 13-year deal, $352 million
• Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers, 10-year deal, $292 million
• Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees, 10-year deal, $275 million
• Alex Rodriguez, Texas Rangers, 10-year deal, $252 million
• Robinson Cano, Seattle Mariners, 10-year deal, $240 million
• Albert Pujols, Los Angeles Angels, 10-year deal, $240 million
• Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari, 3-year deal, $240 million
• Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds, 10-year deal, $225 million
• Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-year deal, $215 million
• Prince Fielder, Detroit Tigers, 9-year deal, $214 million
• Max Scherzer, Washington Nationals, 7-year deal, $210 million
• Derek Jeter, New York Yankees, 10-year deal, $189 million
• Joe Mauer, Minnesota Twins, 8-year deal, $184 million
The federal taxes alone that Mayweather and Pacquiao will pay will easily top $100 million.
Top Rank's Bob Arum told Dahlberg on Tuesday that the live paid gate could be as high as $72 million. The current record is $20 million, set by Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez in 2013.

I don't like boxing. And know nothing about it. I realize it's late, and some people are turned off by that, but this is gonna be the most polarizing event in sports in my lifetime(25).

I thought he was expected to make around $120M?

That's just the purse between him and Manny (60/40 split of $200 mil). It doesn't include the % he'll get from PPV and the gate.

Right I had no idea they made that much money

Mayweather is getting a good laugh at how easy it will be to make that much money. Plus knowing he and Al Haymon are gonna raise the PPV price by $20+ dollars and fans will eat it up.

What's crazy is he opts out of that contract and walks away from $72 million.
Only to get a new contract for $275 million.

It's crazy that as unpopular as boxing has become, 2 old farts who weigh 150lbs could make this much money and draw this many viewers in.....all for them to play pattycakes (slap & run) for 12 rounds to a boring decision.
And I will still watch....probably
