Floyd Mayweather claims he will make over $100million for Logan Paul exhibition, explains why he won’t return for real fights
Floyd Mayweather has claimed that he will make upwards of $100million for his planned exhibition fight with Logan Paul this year.
The bout was initially announced by Fanmio to take place on February 20 as an online pay-per-view.
However, it was postponed and there has been little news since regarding what was going on with the event.
Last month, Logan said that influential boxing adviser Al Haymon – who guided Floyd through much of his career – has taken the reigns.
He added that it will be shown by major US broadcaster Showtime who aired many of Mayweather’s biggest PPV fights.
"I can eventually probably make $50million, for just a regular fight.
"Or me and Logan Paul can go out, entertain, have fun and make nine figures $100million or more.
"Everybody thinks that 'retired' means at home with your feet up and picking up weight.
"I prefer to go out, still entertain and have fun.
"Just because I still go out, entertain and have fun doesn't mean that I still wanna fight for 12 rounds.
"I think we've got a six-round exhibition. I think it's gonna be very entertaining for the people, I think people are gonna love it.
"$35million for 12 rounds or $100million for six rounds - big difference."
