FLOYD MAYWEATHER is a true moniker for his 'Money,' as he has dominated the list of highest-earning boxing fights.
Although the pay-per view king was controversial throughout his career of 50-0, he always delivered results in ring -- both in terms performance and pay cheque.
Mike Tyson, the heavyweight legend, was also well-respected through his ups and downs - earning approximately PS400m total.
Here are the top ten most lucrative fights ever.
1. Mayweather vs Pacquiao May 2015
The 'Fight of the Century' was a five-year-long wait by fans for the two poundfor-pound kings of the world to finally meet. It was called "Fight of The Century" in 2015.
Despite the lengthy buildup, the bout failed to deliver excitement but it did generate revenue.
Mayweather's tactical masterclass against Pacquiao was a record-breaking 4.6 million PPVs, and the highest ever gate.
Their pockets were also unheard of, and the fight was the most successful ever.
2. McGregor vs Mayweather, August 2017.
It was immediately dubbed "The Money Fight" after McGregor, the UFC's star, was revealed to be transferring over to Mayweather.
It lived up to its name, as the figures prove.
It did not surpass the PPV/gate record that Pacquiao and Mayweather had set two years ago.
McGregor's net worth increased after McGregor's commendable debut in boxing. Mayweather won in ten rounds.
3. Mayweather vs Canelo September 2013
Canelo challenged Mayweather to a pound-for-pound fight. Boxing fans tuned in to find out if Mayweather was finally defeated.
Money won the points fight and was able to laugh all the way to the bank. The fight also broke a PPV record of 2.2m sales and PS120m revenue.
Even though over 16,000 people packed into MGM Grand Las Vegas, the gate for headliner only brought in PS20m.
It is still the third most expensive fight in boxing history. Canelo went on to be a superstar of his own after the humiliating defeat.
4. Mayweather vs De La Hoya May 2007, May 2007
It was the last time Mayweather would fight as a B-side fighter when he fought De La Hoya at light-middleweight.
The win made the brash American, then called 'Pretty Boy Floyd,' the sport's No1.
It broke the box office records at first, and Mayweather was given the Money nickname.
Even though a lucrative rematch did not happen, it was one mega-money payday for Mayweather.
5. 5.
It was 1996 that Holyfield defeated Tyson and ended his pursuit of the heavyweight title. This set the stage for a profitable rematch in the next year.
It would go down in history for the wrong reasons. Tyson twice bit Holyfield, before being disqualified at round three.
It was later known as the "Bite Fight", and raked in 1,990,000. PPV purchases - still the largest number of heavyweight fights.
They had the largest combined purses for any fight, until it was broken ten year later.
6. Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson 2002
In 2002, Lewis and Tyson settled the matter. But it was too late.
Tyson was a weak heavyweight, while Lewis was the undisputed champion. Lewis won round eight.
High-priced tickets were finally sold with 15,000 people attending the fight, breaking box office records and selling out.
It sold less than Tyson's rematch with Holyfield but still made PS90m in PPV sales.
