The biggest boxing fight of the century is all set to take place this Saturday night, as Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao battle it out for glory before settling into a nice, cushy life of retirement sitting on a hoard of cash.
Win or lose, the yet undefeatable Mayweather will receive 60 percent of final revenue, a figure that is pegged to be $180 million.
Pacquiao himself didn't get a bad deal at all. His 40 percent share, as stipulated in the contract five years in the making, will still have him bringing home $120 million. That is still $20 million more than the $100 million a major league baseball team usually receives every year. It's also a far cry from the $2 the legendary Filipino boxer made after each match when he was growing up in the Philippines. Kenny Bayless, widely considered the world's best referee, will take home $10,000 to take charge of the half-hour fight.
