According to comments made by Global Titans CEO Uday Singh, Mayweather could end up pocketing somewhere in the of $25million to $30 million for the fight. As per reports, Mayweather was paid $1 million simply to take a phone call in order to discussing the idea of a fight with Deji. “Floyd is super approachable, and he listens to the promoters and does what’s best for business, and that’s what I like about him,” Singh stated. There has been no official word on what Deji will take home after the fight, but if we use Mayweather’s bout with Logan Paul as a reference, it could be as much as $4 million, which is what the older of the two Paul brothers earned for his clash with Mayweather.
