Floyd Mayweather
In a recent item uploaded to Instagram, the
wealthiest boxer in
the world, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, posted a photo of himself
posing in front of his private jet, valued at $25,000,000,
comfortably perched behind a row of his fleet of luxury sports cars
worth $3,000,000. Mayweather‘s top rival, boxing star, Manny
“Pac-Man” Pacquiao,
posted a contrasting photo of himself in front of a fire waiting for
Mayweather’s call regarding their highly anticipated fight.
Manny Pacquiao
BoxRec posted an item on their website stating
Mayweather v.
Pacquiao is scheduled to take place on May 2, 2015, in Las Vegas,
Nevada. Could this be the moment fight fans have been waiting for.
One thing is certain, if the fight goes off, Mayweather and
Pacquiao would make a fortune. A sporting event of this magnitude
would contain multi-layered marketing deals regarding ticket sales,
merchandising, pay-per-view and internet rights. As stated on the
site previously, if the rights encompass China,
where Pacquiao is very popular, it could turn into a $1 billion
dollar event. As both men bring something to the table, the split
should be even.
