Floyd Mayweather Says He'll Make $70 Million from Fight vs. Marcos Maidana

Aside from boxing, Floyd Mayweather's favorite pastime has to be making moneyโ€”and then bragging about it.ย 

After Mayweather's victory over Marcos Maidanaย that banked himย a cool $32 million, Money Mayย posted a photoย that breaks down his payout by the numbers.

According to his caption, he hasn't even earned half of what he's set to receive:ย "$32,000,000.00 for 36 minutes. I'm waiting for the PPV numbers to come in so I can make another $38,000,000.00 on the back-end... making it a grand total of $70,000,000.00."

Update: Tuesday, May 6 at 11:04 p.m. ET

It looks like Mayweather's projection is going to come up quite a bit short, according to Forbes.com's Kurt Badenhausen. Barring unexpectedly huge pay-per-view numbers, $70 million is not going to happen.

Although there are other sources of revenue, the pay-per-view numbers are going to have a big impact on his final paycheck. The pay-per-view numbers are expected to be released next week.

Here's what Badenhausen wrote on the matter:

"

Mayweather already received his $32 million guarantee for Saturdayโ€™s fight and is likely to see some upside from the PPV revenue, but the total payout will not be anywhere close to $70 million.

"

Chances are, we'll be seeing a lot more of Mayweather's new toys on his Instagram soon enough, especially after he gets his full payout.ย
