When Floyd Mayweather fought Manny Pacquaio two years ago, it was temed the highest grossing fight ever with a purse value of $410 million. Billed as the fight of the century and it totally delivered in terms of the money generated. This however is going to be surpassed by the upcoming fight between Mayweather and Conor McGregor.
At the weight in conducted on Friday, McGregor weighed in at 153 pounds (below the limit of 154 pounds) and his rival weighed in at a trimmed 149.5 pounds. Technically speaking, McGregor will also have the height and reach advantage beyond the weight.
“Weight doesn’t win fights, fighting wins fights,” said Mayweather after McGregor said he would weigh close to 170 pounds during the bout.
This fight is set to become the highest grossing bout ever. If the TV revenue from pay-per-view stays the same as that of the Mayweather-Pacquiao bout, the fight purse is likely to be worth approximately $300 million, with total revenues at $700 million.
