Smart money’s always on Floyd

IT is no wonder he has decided he wants to be called Floyd 'Money' Mayweather - he generates bucket-loads of the stuff. Figures do not lie and the latest numbers issued in America prove Mayweather is by far boxing's biggest attraction. More than one million US homes bought the HBO pay-per-view telecast of his comeback fight against Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez, bringing in $32.5million. A staggering financial return, considering it was a non-title fight and a Mayweather victory was considered a foregone conclusion. It is only the fifth time in pay-per-view history that a non-heavyweight battle has soared above the million mark.
