Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed on Friday night that the minimum each fighter will earn is $100million for Floyd Mayweather and $30million for Conor McGregor.

However, if PPV revenue stays in line with the Mayweather-Pacquiao bout, the fight purse is likely to be worth some $300million, with total revenues at $700million (£543.5million).

The fight went nine full 3-minute rounds, plus 1:05 of Round 10 before it was stopped, for a total of 28 minutes, 5 seconds. That's 1,685 seconds in all, meaning Mayweather was working for $178,041 per second — about twice the $83,000-per-second average he made in 12 rounds against Manny Pacquiao.
