FLOYD MAYWEATHER made an incredible PS1.2BILLION in pay-per-view sales over his long career.
Surprisingly, nearly 50% of all box office purchases were made in only TWO fights.
Mayweather, 44 has been the headliner of 17 American PPV events. His first appearance was against Arturo Gatti in 2005.
It was a memorable night for Gatti, who unfortunately died at 37 in 2009.
They sold 340,000 PPVs that earned PS12m, which is only a fraction of the revenue Mayweather would generate.
Conor McGregor (33), defeated Mayweather in the last fight of his historic 50-0 record. It was a lucrative crossover bout that lasted ten rounds.
They gathered a combined fanbase of 4.3 million PPVs in the US. This accumulated a staggering PS275m.
These numbers were only topped by Mayweather's 2015 win over long-time rival Manny Pacquiao (43).

It sold a record 4.6 million PPVs on Showtime, with a huge revenue of PS300m.
This means that for Mayweather's victories over Pacquiao & McGregor, PS575m was earned, accounting for nearly half the total money made by PPVs during his career.
Other highlights include a win over Oscar De La Hoya in 2007, which saw 2.4m box-office buys and made PS100m.
It was also the last time Mayweather would appear on the B-side in negotiations. He dethroned the Golden Boy that night, becoming boxing's most popular attraction.
Six years later, De La Hoya (48) would seek revenge on Canelo Alvarez, fighting for his honor.

Mayweather taught Mayweather a lesson in boxing over 12 rounds. This fight sold 2.2 million PPVs, and made PS110m.
Similar to Mayweather's defeat, Canelo (31), would soon replace Mayweather as the sport’s current pound for pound champion.
Although Mayweather has yet to make a comeback to professional boxing, he has made great strides in the ring.
He was back for an exhibition fight with Logan Paul (26), in June. The bout, which saw him sell 1m PPVs as well as rake in PS37m, took place only a month later.
His fortune could rise again as Mayweather is in talks to Money Kicks (20-year-old YouTuber) for an exhibition in Dubai.
