Floyd Mayweather suggests he will earn up to $100million for exhibition bout

Floyd Mayweather has suggested he could earn up to $100 million for his latest exhibition bout after claiming he earns between "eight and nine figures".

The boxing legend has earned vast wealth from his 50-0 professional career having sold the two highest selling pay-per-views in boxing history against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor. He also earned another $65 million for his latest exhibition with Logan Paul last June and is planning to continue his short-form boxing showcases in the coming years.

Mayweather has admitted he is lucky to be able to "milk" boxing even after his professional career has ended but has hit out at critics. "I was able to leave boxing on my own terms and now the boxing critics are upset that I am still able to milk and finesse the sport of boxing by throwing exhibitions," Mayweather said during an interview with Fight Hype.
