Only 13 athletes have earned more in 1 contract than Mayweather will make

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.
