The ‘Money
Man’ Floyd Mayweather will once again live up to his moniker, with the
legendary boxer set for £19million in ringwear deals alone on August 26.
Without a punch even being thrown against
Conor McGregor, the undefeated American has a queue of brands lining up
to be associated with his mastery inside the ring.
Mayweather’s shorts will earn him the
majority of that £19m, as the six sponsorship spots on the material are
predicted to rake in £11m, as revealed by the Telegraph.
His victory cap is worth £775,000, a
sizable risk for whoever’s brand is emblazoned on it despite
Mayweather’s status as favourite. These
astronomical sums reflect the interest this cross-over fight has
generated from both combat sport and casual fans, with the bout expected
to become the most lucrative of all time.
When all is said and done, ‘Money Man’ could bank himself in the region of £186m for a night’s work.
Even the ring cushion behind his head between rounds was purchased by a betting company for £2.2m.
