Mayweather anticipates windfall of "$100m or more"

Speaking to the Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast in March, 'Money' said he anticipated his match-up with Paul would net him at least $100 million.
"I can fight a fighter right now and I can guarantee myself $35 million," he said. "I can eventually probably make $50 million, for just a regular fight. Or me and Logan Paul can go out, entertain, have fun and make nine figures, $100 million or more."
