On Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (and live on SHOWTIME PPV) when Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. steps into the ring against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, he will live up to his nickname in ranking in a record breaking purse of $41.5 million.
Should the fight last the full 12 rounds (each round has a value of 3 minutes)... that means that for a mere 1 second of work, "Money" Mayweather will bring in $19,212 (about $1.15 million per minute).
Anything less than 12 rounds would make that number even higher. If it only last 6 rounds, "Money" pulls in around $40,000 per second.
