The boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul was expected, and the proceeds live up to the expectation.
$ 50 million: this is the sum reported by the boxing fight between the former champion and the YouTubeur.
In any case, this is confirmed by an anonymous source close to the organizers to USA Today.
An amount which has also been confirmed by the Sportico site.
A hit for Showtime, the broadcaster of the meeting, for whom it is quite simply an absolute record.
Floyd Mayweather is the main attraction, without a doubt, as he alone has three of the four most watched pay-per-view matches of all time.
His match against Manny Pacquiao in 2015 was “bought” by 4.6 million viewers.
And the rest?
This Paul-Mayweather is still a long way from those numbers and if we compare him to the most profitable matches in boxing history, he only climbs to 25th place.
But according to all sports experts, it is still a success for the organizers, due to the date on which it was organized (a Sunday, instead of a Saturday, as is often the case) but also and especially the pedigree of Logan Paul, who had to his record, before the meeting, only one defeat ...
Floyd Mayweather was in any case very encouraging towards his opponent, showering him with praise after the announcement of the result (a draw, as expected, since no winner was to be announced).
“He surprised me.
He is a great and young fighter.
Strong, resistant.
It's better than I thought, ”he said.
Will the champion of YouTube views launch a new career?
Logan Paul has yet to reveal anything about his intentions.
