When asked how much money he would make prior to the game, Mayweather said: ‘It’s always a few million a minute.
‘From this exhibition alone I will making somewhere upwards of $15-20million. That’s just from this exhibition. So, it’s cool. Nine minutes, 20 million, not bad.
He went on to say: ‘Exhibitions are also giving me a chance to travel more. I have always travelled a lot but I am able to entertain people all over the world.

‘I wasn’t able to do a real fight in Japan but they love when I do exhibitions. They love for me to come over and perform. It gives them a little bit of a chance to see the old Mayweather. It’s a great feeling.
‘I make great money from these exhibitions. But like I told you, I am not taking any abuse.
‘If they were doing some bodily harm I would have to walk away completely. I am not going to put myself in a position where I am getting brutally beaten or I am taking punishment.’
