How much money will Mayweather get vs Logan Paul?

While the amount Mayweather is accepting is only being speculated, their encounter is expected to bring in millions. As per Fanmio site (via The Sun), the early price is currently at $24.99, and will remain the same for the initial million tickets. It will then rise to $39.99, and will take a hike to $59.99 from December 29. From February 11, the organizers will be charging $69.99. 

However, the broadcaster is yet to be revealed. The fight is scheduled for February 20, 2021, and more details are going to be revealed soon. Mayweather fans, though unsure about an encounter with Paul, are eager to see him fight again. He last fought in December 2018, against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa. Back then, 139 seconds apparently earned him $9 million. 

Fans were already speculating a fight, which was hinted at by the increasing trash talk and training. Paul has called Mayweather out some weeks ago, stating that he could destroy his legacy with one punch. "These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I'm not the one for the kid games," is what Mayweather said in response, while also bringing up Connor McGregor indirectly.
