Floyd Mayweather tops Manny Pacquiao at boxing box office, but 'Pac Man' eats up sponsorship 'Money'

Undefeated boxing sensation Floyd Mayweather Jr. gets top billing -- and top payout -- for his upcoming pay-per-view (PPV) super fight against Manny Pacquiao, which takes place on May 2, 2015 inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

But he's playing second fiddle in the sponsorship bucks.

That's because "Pac Man" is eating up all the sponsorship "Money," according to Forbes.com, putting pen to paper for Foot Locker, Butterfinger, Wonderful Pistachio, and Nike, just to name a few. Mayweather, meanwhile, has no personal sponsors -- though event sponsors like Tecate help generate PPV buys through gratuitous marketing campaigns.
