Living up to his name as 'Money' Mayweather, the American boxing icon produced £2.4billion in revenue from PPVs over the course of his fighting career.

The 50-0 boxer is arguably one of the greatest of all time, and if his undefeated record doesn’t attest to that, then his financials definitely do.

World Boxing News reports that the average cost of a PPV for a Mayweather fight was £58. In total, £2.4billion came in as PPV revenue, with his highest grossing fights coming towards the end of his career.

Of the £2.4billion, a whopping £1.4billion accounts for the United States alone. Between 2005 and 2017, where he fought for the last time against Conor McGregor, Mayweather had a total of 16 PPV fights.

His fight with McGregor came in as the second-highest purchased fight, behind the fight which is known by many as the ‘Fight of the Century.’

And for those thinking it, it was indeed Mayweather’s 12-round unanimous decision win over Manny Pacquiao. The 2015 matchup between the two best boxers at the time was purchased by 4.6 million consumers, resulting in over £310 million in revenue from PPVs alone.

Mayweather and McGregor’s fight was purchased by 4.3 million viewers, earning approximately £287 million in revenue.
