    Remember when you heard just how much Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were set to make from their Las Vegas bout? I’m sure many of us were left scratching our heads and wondering aloud how the hell they could demand that sort of money, but one looks at these figures and it kind of makes sense.

    The official pay-per-view numbers are in and the record books have been well and truly rewritten. Here’s the breakdown from BusinessInsider:

    The fight generated a record 4.4 million PPV buys…which produced more than $400 million in TV revenue alone.

    …it was estimated that there would be at least another $133 million in revenue from streams such as ticket sales ($72 million), international broadcast sales (“at least” $35 million), closed-circuit broadcasts in bars ($13 million), sponsorships ($12 million), and merchandise ($1 million).

    Chop on a few million here and there for international and closed-circuit broadcasts and you’re left with an estimated total revenue of between $550 and $595 million.

    And now for the ‘who get’s how much’ part, just to make sure we really don’t like Mayweather:

    Of that $500-plus million in revenue, more than $350 million will go to Mayweather and Pacquiao.

    …Mayweather will take home between $209 and $210 million and Pacquiao will take home between $142 and $143 million.

    I guess no one is going home hungry then. That, and we can probably expect a few more grotesque displays of wealth from Mayweather like the one below.
