We have been discussing about it though, but we don't have the exact figures on how much each one will get. So maybe this is the right numbers, so again maybe the question is that will Manny gave all the money to charity? or will he have something for him in the pockets and for his entourage, including wife Jinky who traveled with him and of course his trainer/buddy, Buboy Fernandez?

Is this what we need to discuss or what? kidding aside, whatever Manny decides where to bring the money for sure portions of that earnings will be on his supported charities, knowing this man, he always have that heart to help it is an open book and he continue doing that while he's on the senate and not inside the ring.

As for Floyd, yeah, you really have to admire that guy outside of the boxing arena because unlike many boxers who squandered their fortunes, Floyd did know how to save and invest his money on the right way that's why he continue to make millions even if he decided to really not fight in those exhibition matches.

I like the way he secured all his earnings. He's making more while letting his money to work for him, and like you, I think even he will not fight any exhibitions. All those investments can support his leisure in life.

Did make out some research and lets just choose up one of the few investments on what Mayweather have.

So it does mean that there are boxers who hadnt made out some investments yet out of their winnings? Actually its none of our business on how they do handle
up their winning funds.People are really just too curious about personal things.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is perhaps the richest sportsperson in recorded history. He received a record $300 million for his last fight against McGregor, which none of the other sportsmen can dream about. The good thing about Floyd is that he never splurged his wealth or misspent it. He was careful with his money. And also, he never overstretched himself. He retired at the age of 40, when a lot of critics were of the opinion that he had at least 2-3 years left. Given all this, I don't think that anyone can accuse him of being money minded.

$300M for real? With a match against a professional athlete for other combat sports. That's totally a lot of money and contract for him. That's a big payday for him and he's certainly fits to the alias that he's got, Money.
I agree that Floyd in terms of his wealth, he knows how to handle it. People may see him boasting all about it but that's not the point, he's worked hard for it wherever and whatever his financial situation right now.

Floyd has two of the biggest PPV in history if I'm not mistaken, against Manny and Conor, so yeah the figure could be true. But I'm not sure if he is the richest sportsperson, probably the biggest and richest in the football player who can even get as high as $1 billion as salary with all the perks.

Anyhow, I find this numbers very interesting and I'm not sure if someone has posted this already:

He secured his future, and he didn't change his mind set when in terms of money, he keeps collecting when he see opportunities he will grab
and add it in his savings.

That fight with McGregor give both fighters a huge number of profits, an exhibition fight where fans and sponsors really bite up and
allow these fighters to convert their names into a huge money-making machine.

Hardwork with good management of his finances is equal to Money Floyd.

On the contrary. Floyd is one of the most spendthrift athletes of this age. He regularly balls and wastes money because he knows he can make it in a fight or two given his status and fighting prowess. There had been multiple accounts of him going in massive debts from countless nights of gambling, booze, cars, and women. He tries so hard to paint a picture of himself as a very rich person with all these things but in reality, his pockets run dry sometimes too.

Take Mcgregor for example, I think I'm already going off a tangent here but Mcgregor is a good exampld of someone who knows he makes a lot of money, and spends it well. He may ball here and there given his vast collection of cars, a million dollar estate, and plenty more treasures to boot, but you can bet your ass he'll never be broke because of his wise saving choices and a wife that controls his habits every now and then.

$300m truly is likely a real figure but you're also right that one of the biggest paid will be from Football players and they're also popular just as Floyd and Manny. But one thing for sure, every endorsement they do and every action they make, makes headlines.

Yup, I've watched him talk about his finances and I'm just happy and admires him a lot. Before I was a hater but that's inside the ring. But going outside and how he works with all of his stuff, he's an admirable guy.

I am surprised no one is talking about this here yet, I guess it's probably because no one really knows who DK Yoo is(even I don't know who he is).

Woah, this was 2 weeks ago already? I was not even aware that this event happened. I suppose because it's only an exhibition match.
I am watching it right now. It's a great experience for an amateur like DK Yoo, not everyone can have this opportunity. Manny could have ended the match on the first rounds, but I believe he chose not to so the game can be more entertaining.

This is actually true, its not really that surprising nor shocking that making money is really part of the game and any sports out there which it would be normal that someone would be aiming to have more income whether

it would be on an official match or exhibition ones which it doesnt really matter.Its true that they might really be that jealous just because Mayweather is really just making huge money out of these fights
despite of being a retired boxer.It is really true that if people doesnt really like to watch then dont watch, no one forces them to do so but still there are people who do loves
to see and witness these fights and thats where money do comes in and same goes into other exhibition fights as well.

Does it matter? Mayweather surely knows a lot of critics that criticized him again and again about his aim in the world of boxing, surely nobody could blame him if he wanted Millions from his fights and still earning himself a big paycheck in every exhibition bout. Of course, every athletes/fighters/boxers are about the money. I don't really believe if someone would say that it's not the money they want because money is just a big factor when it comes to sports.

And Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not the richest sportsperson record in the history, he is one of them only because it turns out that he's only worth $450 Million.
Michael Jordan is at the top with a net worth of a whopping $1.7 Billion, followed by Tiger Woods and LeBron James in the Billionaire status.

So this basically for the money but you cant really avoid for boxing fans to have those criticisms which
i do partly agree with those sentiments. It is really becoming the trend now.

I agree with Floyd Mayweather Jr.. Why his critics care if he wants to participate in a few exhibition matches? If they don't like these matches, then no one is forcing them to watch. And what is wrong if he cares about money? Afterall, boxing is just like any other profession. Who will participate in matches for free? The career is quite short and athletes need to earn money that will assure a comfortable retired life for them. I have a feeling that these critics are just jealous about people like Floyd being able to bring in so much money.

The fight was long finished, I'm wondering why the thread isn't locked yet. I guess, this is gonna be a new thread for Manny's next fine then?
OP should either close the thread or rename the thread, just my 2 cents.

I don't think that Manny Pacquiao will be involved in anymore exhibition fights. He is already 44 years old and nowadays he is not giving much attention to boxing. He won the match against DK Yoo in a quite convincing manner, but over time his boxing skills will deteriorate. Already he has participated in 3 exhibition fights after his retirement, starting with the 2022 fight against Haha. Also, he is quite vocal about his political ambitions. His 2022 presidential campaign wasn't very successful, but I am sure that he is planning something big in politics.

We'll see about that soon because as of now, Manny Pacquiao is currently busy with his career in exhibition fight. Let's just give the legend some time as he just came back and after all, this is his passion and the sports he loved the most. I'm much more excited on his 2nd bout compared to his 1st with DK Yoo.

I think Mayweather alone had 3 fruitful exhibition fights this year alone, I don't know why he's still a hotshot tho and still marketable for the most organizers as he's been going back-and-forth in Japan and Dubai. Anyway, as said, more and more exhibition fights are being held annually and some people are more inclined to see these type of bouts because it's their chance too to see their idols once again especially after Manny Pacquiao's return in the ring.

It is obvious that the exhibition fight is not for legacy but to earn money.

Good thing there are kind boxers who donate proceeds to charity. These are the fight worth watching since the money we spend will go to help people that are in need.

That is where the exhibition fight income are supposed to land, as people are done paying for their talents when they're at the peak of their career, when they are much interesting to watch. But, with this exhibition match trends, people are paying nothing but for pure entertainment with less to none as a sport.
Mayweather and Pacquiao would still go down as two of the best to ever lace in boxing history, but an exhibition match between them is not gonna matter anyway as they are both done with their career.

It really seems that the era of real-tough and hard boxing is almost over and these exhibition fights are taking over the scene. Don't take it wrong, I know that there are still few real boxers left who are prioritizing their legacy over than the money but the majority seems to be only chasing money rather than giving entertainment to the fans who are lifting them and there's this boxing politics too.

As for Pacquiao and his new found way in the industry, it's safe to say that he will be packed for the next few years to come as there will be a lot more fighters or boxers who will call him out to materialize an exhibition bout. DK Yoo and Pacquiao's bout with his former sparring partner is only the beginning. Surely there's more to come with these kind of fights.

I agree that it is really becoming the trend now which it do really sucks on seeing that they are really that prioritizing these exhibition fights rather into those official fights just like
on what other people that preferred into.Its true that they are aiming on having to make money and not really that legacy on which a true boxer should really be attaining into.
If we do compare out those numbers of huge real boxing official events and into those exhibition fights then we could say that it does have some considerable
amount of fights that had been set on this year alone.

I think Mayweather alone had 3 fruitful exhibition fights this year alone, I don't know why he's still a hotshot tho and still marketable for the most organizers as he's been going back-and-forth in Japan and Dubai. Anyway, as said, more and more exhibition fights are being held annually and some people are more inclined to see these type of bouts because it's their chance too to see their idols once again especially after Manny Pacquiao's return in the ring.

It really seems that the era of real-tough and hard boxing is almost over and these exhibition fights are taking over the scene. Don't take it wrong, I know that there are still few real boxers left who are prioritizing their legacy over than the money but the majority seems to be only chasing money rather than giving entertainment to the fans who are lifting them and there's this boxing politics too.

As for Pacquiao and his new found way in the industry, it's safe to say that he will be packed for the next few years to come as there will be a lot more fighters or boxers who will call him out to materialize an exhibition bout. DK Yoo and Pacquiao's bout with his former sparring partner is only the beginning. Surely there's more to come with these kind of fights.

I agree that it is really becoming the trend now which it do really sucks on seeing that they are really that prioritizing these exhibition fights rather into those official fights just like
on what other people that preferred into.Its true that they are aiming on having to make money and not really that legacy on which a true boxer should really be attaining into.
