    No one does (Except the Logan Paul one)

    He get's paid massive site fee's by incredibly wealthy people.

    I doubt it's about profit to them. It can't be because these events aren't profitable.

    Amir Khan got like 10 Million to have an exhibition with Billy Dib in Dubai. Same thing.

      I get entertainment from watching them, but I won't pay. I do understand why oil tycoons in the Middle East who don't get too many live events would pay to watch him live however.

            The McGregor match was warranted and a major victory for boxing. mma fans had to be shut up

            But the following exhibitions. Why? why does anyone want to see this diminished version of Floyd beat up some no-hoper
            It all started with Buffalo Bills Wild West Show, some smart people figured that there were masses of paying customers that wanted to see a legend in the flesh that would otherwise never have the chance, so they started touring and selling Bill Codys legendary name and spawned the entertainment industry.

            Now do you understand why casuals pay for a night of the Mayweather show, its no different than going to a movie, go see a band, go see a speaker, high profile sportsman are paid to be who they are.

              Just google how much he makes from these exhibition matches and every question will be answered.
              Even in retirement, he still commands respect and royal wages. He continues to be the standard.

              Some are destined to lose elections while being the most famous person in his country.

                    I don't think I've seen one poster here say that they paid for this fight. Or maybe they just won't admit it.

                    I don't even wanna see a free stream of this.

Boxing has become the cover for the Silk Road of the Middle East....and Mayweather and Joshua are the only 2 guys who are big enough earners to be able to filter the cash through. Fury tried to get onto the bandwagon once he started earning the same sort of money...but instead of aligning with the King...he chose to do it with a guy who was under the watchful eye of Interpol....which made him have to run away with his tail between his legs.
                      Who would be laundering money in that situation?
