JAKARTA - Floyd Mayweather made £1.6 million per hit on a target in an exhibition boxing match against Logan Paul recently.

Mayweather clashes with sensational social media star Paul on June 6 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Originally, the former Olympic athlete was expected to beat Paul without breaking a sweat. However, the contest lasted eight full rounds.

Because the rules are unique, there is no winner in this fight. Some people take Mayweather seriously even though he can end the fight whenever he wants. Others argue that Paul has claimed a moral victory.

Despite the uninspiring course of the fight, the show proved to be a huge success from a pay-per-view perspective. And it's undoubtedly the easiest money Mayweather has ever made.

According to the Bonusfinder website, the former five-weight world champion landed 43 hits in eight rounds.

After earning £72 million from that fight, Mayweather made more than £1.6 million per hit on target, the highest in boxing history.

Mayweather's earning power can be further demonstrated, as he competed in two of the most lucrative fights in boxing history.

Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather earned £1.4 million and £1.3 million respectively per hit on a target in their fights 6 years ago.

Meanwhile, in his clash with MMA superstar Conor McGregor in 2017, Mayweather made £1.25 million per hit on target.

While The Notorious, get £600 thousand for every hit on target he did.

Surprisingly, from the list of the top 15 highest earning per hit on target, Mayweather entered 5 times.

Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez were twice on that list, earning the Mexican boxer around £300,000 for every punch he landed crushing Avni Yildirim and Billy Joe Saunders.

Alexander Povetkin, Anthony Joshua, Oscar De La Hoya, Logan Paul, and Mike Tyson also made the top 15.

Povetkin earned £437,000 in his rematch against Dillian Whyte, as the Russian only landed 8 punches throughout the fight.

Anthony Joshua earns £431,000 every time he lands a punch on Andy Ruiz Jr in their rematch.

With a total of 107 strokes, AJ earned £46 million at the end of the fight.
