JAKARTA - Floyd Mayweather revealed the revenue he earned from an exhibition fight against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in December 2018. In fact, the figure was far greater than 9 million US dollars (IDR 1.3 trillion).

The exhibition bout ended before the end of the first round. Mayweather's unbeaten professional record has brought down 20-year-old Nasukawa three times.

In a chat with Rob Moore, the five division world champion spoke openly about the amount of money he was getting in the fight. He admitted that at that time his party was not honest about the numbers.

“When I fought Nasukawa in Tokyo, Japan. "I think 40 thousand people showed up for a three-round fight," said the 44-year-old boxer reported by the Daily Star.

“You know, I tell people I made 9 million US dollars (IDR 1.3 trillion) and I admit it. But I think I actually make a lot more money than that. I just tell people what I want to tell them. "

Unfortunately, Mayweather did not reveal the exact figure he got from the fight.

Earlier this month Mayweather insisted that his estimated net worth of 510 million (Rp10 trillion) does not make him a bad person. And he admits that he will not stop showing off his wealth.

Speaking on the Dispute Entrepreneur Podcast, the boxing icon defends his attitude toward money.

"Just because I talk about money doesn't make me a bad person. I like having the finer things in life - money didn't create me, I created money," says Mayweather.

"I love to feed my family, we can't feed our family just by saying, 'I love you'," he continued.

"Money has put us in a position to have better things in life, so that we can travel and have fun, live life, and experience different things."

"When you can make a lot of money, you can do those things."

Mayweather's fortunes will increase when he takes on YouTuber Logan Paul later this year. Mayweather and Paul were originally scheduled to fight on February 20 yesterday. However, it has been pushed back to a new date that has not been announced.

It is estimated that the pay-per-view clash between the two people will earn Mayweather a lucrative sum of US $ 100 million (Rp143.7 billion).
