The Nevada State
Athletic Commission has released the pay amounts for every fight on the Floyd
Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing card, and all we have to say is it's good
to be Floyd and Conor. According to the NSAC documents, the two pocketed purses
of $100 million and $30 million respectively, and those numbers don't include
pay-per-view cuts that are likely to triple the amount made by each man.
A list of athletes who won
big from the event includes:
ATHLETE PRICE TITLE
Gervonta Davis $600,000 His controversial win over Francisco Fonseca (who made $35,000) in the co- main event of the night. Davis clearly hit Fonseca in the back of the head at the start of the 8th round, sending Fonseca to the canvas clutching his opponent's legs. Despite the illegal blow, the fight was ruled a KO win for Davis.
Badou Jack $750,000 Winning the WBA
light heavyweight title over Nathan Cleverly,
who only made $100,000.
Pay-per-view curtain jerkers Andrew Tabiti and Steve
Cunningham both made $100,000 in their cruiserweight title fight, which Tabiti
won via unanimous decision.
Here's a full list of the payouts from the top of the card down
to the bottom:
