Unbelievable? Believe it: Mayweather earned $83,000 per second during fight with Pacquiao

Floyd Mayweather should change his nick-middle-name from ‘Money’ to ‘Truck loads of Money’ after banking $180 million from his fight against Manny Pacquiao. Do the match: $180 million and divided by 12 rounds of three minutes each. So $180,000,000 divided by 2,160 (12 rounds x 180 seconds). That comes to $83,333 per second — to be precise.

AP[/caption] Yes, you read that right — Mayweather made more than $83,000 per second during the fight. Pacquiao didn’t go home very poor either. According to a report on Mashable, he banked $120 million from the fight. That’s $55,555 per second. Not bad at all, eh? The report puts into perspective the earnings against the average American’s salary per year — $44,000. That’s what Mayweather made in just more than half a second — a year’s worth of money of an average citizen. Let’s not even get into the average Indian’s salary. Mayweather is now worth almost $600 million — and will certainly use the money to buy more cars and jets. He is also looking forward to one more fight in September — and rumour has it that it could be British boxer Amir Khan he takes on. The next four months should give you enough time to digest the numbers mentioned in this article. And probably motivate you to become a professional boxer. All the best.
