Floyd Mayweather thinks he'll break the bank with his fight against Conor McGregor on Aug. 26.
"I mean, am I the highest-paid athlete out there? And just coming back? We not talking about no contract. We not talking about no contract for no four years, or no contract for no five years. I can do it in 36 minutes. $300 (million) or better. In 36 minutes," Mayweather said during an appearance on Showtime's "All Access: Mayweather v. McGregor."
Mayweather routinely used to top the list of the highest-paid athletes in the world. McGregor, for his part, is reportedly expected to earn approximately $100 million in what's been aptly billed as "The Money Fight."
