The McGregor Mayweather price for the PPV has now been established ahead of the year’s biggest event in professional sports.
It’s widely agreed that this is a money fight, no doubt about it.
Fair play to both guys to be able to earn such money for after all, what is the hardest way to make a living – professional fighting.

A fight that sold a whopping 4.6 million pay per views in the United States alone, grossing many hundreds of millions worldwide across all streams and geographies – making it the single richest sports event ever held in one single night.
If Mayweather vs McGregor does more than 5 million pay per view buys in the US like some are predicting, from pay per view alone (in just the US) the fight will gross a nearly a staggering half a billion dollars.
