Beyond that, their not running their own show; Haymon has things set up for co-promotion with an established company, before then going your own way when you have things figured out (Leonard figured it out for Mayweather Promotions, and Adrien Broner basically partnered with the original promoter who gave him his shot in Cincinnati to run About Billions).
$2m+ on the gate, let's call it $1.5m for Showtime's rights fee, another $1m on the international TV rights, call it $500k for the Corona sponsorship, another $500k in event sponsorship from the Dallas Cowboys and other sponsors, etc.
Deduct the cost of renting the venue, getting the fight legally sanctioned, marketing, Fight Week, etc, and you still end up with a nice heap of money left over after paying all of the outside parties.
