Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor convinced more than four million people to spend money on a pay-per-view bout between a 40-year-old and an amateur boxer, making one of the world's highest-paid athletes even richer.

Mayweather, who earned an estimated $250 million for fighting Manny Pacquiao in 2015, got a guaranteed $100 million for the McGregor fight before factoring in the pay-per-view buys, and he's got the check to prove it.

Some say there’s a difference between being smart and intelligent. Everyone knows that common sense isn’t so common, but when it comes to being wise beyond years it’s proven I’ve got the Midas touch. It’s simple math, being 50-0 lets you know I READ my opponents just as clear as you can READ this $100,000,000 check. I stay getting checks like this, I will always have the last laugh!
