Mayweather is the biggest payday

It's mad to think that the biggest PPV seller of all time is a guy that most don't find exciting in the ring.

I guess that played into his character in a way.

Pacquiaos opponents got paid more

This was the best part of that article

"I got in trouble one time. Hogan, Hulkster, used to have a plane after Nitros because of the Turner deal and he flew back to Tampa [Florida] because he told WCW, 'I've got to cook the kids breakfast every morning'. So he left Monday afternoons, wrestled, and went home Monday night, so after Nitros I would get a ride to Tampa. Me, him, and Savage, and another wrestler, Brian Adams, who was a dear friend of mine. He used to be Crush in WWE. Well, Brian's a smart ass. He passed away, but he was a real smart ass and an instigator, a stirrer. I used to do an impersonation of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage in a romantic relationship. I do the impersonations and Brian says, 'oh, you've got to do that for Hulk and Randy, man. They'll love it!' So I was like, 'really?'. He goes, 'dude, just do it on the plane tonight. They'll like it.'

"So we're sitting on the plane. It's a small plane, so there's Hulk, there's Randy, there's Brian, there's me, and we're sitting real close in front of each other and Brian looks at me and gives me the wink. And I'm a dumbass rookie, so what do I do? [In Hogan's voice] 'Whatcha gonna do, Macho, when the largest python in the world comes for you, brother?' [In Savage's voice] 'Ooh yeah, Hulkster. Go to infinity and beyond. Give me the beef, Hulkster.' And believe me, I'm cleaning it up for radio. The version I did [on the plane] was really, really raunchy. And then, I stopped. I had a big grin on my face, and, I mean, I'm getting a dead stare from Hulk [and] a dead stare from Randy. Brian looks at me and goes, 'oh, I can't believe you did that'. Completely through me under the bus! And then, the next week, the pilot, Captain Ron, comes and says 'hey, Giant, I just want to let you know that there are a lot of turbulence going home this week, so if you don't mind, can you catch a commercial flight tomorrow because we're concerned about the weight' and I'm like, 'yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem'. So it's like [for] two months, I was kicked off the plane ride home."

Yeah, it's crazy.

He literally became a pro wrestling type bad guy in boxing, but it was pure gold at the box office.. He has his fans, but most of his PPv buys were from people wanting to see him lose

Lmao. Great nit-pick.

Pretty sure boxing wise it would be Pacquiao, if not equal.
Doesn't matter, if either one comes at you and offers 2 million to fight, you'll accept. You're not gonna pull a Broner and negotiate. Broner tried to negotiate with Arum and Arum basically said "**** off, you're an idiot."

Biggest pay day across 2 sports.... Not even Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson, Lebron james, Peyton manning can say that..

Floyd put the money in money mayweather

Mayweather vs The Big Show was the second highest selling PPV wrestling match of all time if I'm not mistaken.

**Young J** · 08-19-2016, 02:20 AM

Remember the days when Floyd was selling a million+ ppvs? Good times, good times. I never get tired of hearing him talk about money and watching his flashy lifestyle on the 24/7/all access series. I'll never forget the entertaining, exciting, action packed fights he had and how he always put it on the line. #49-0 #TBE #TMT #hardworkanddedication :*******:
