How do you make a billion dollars in boxing?
Well, it certainly helps when you charge upward of $100 for a pay-per-view (PPV) fight and peddle it to any and all suckers fans willing to open their wallets. That's the strategy for this weekend's Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao showdown (full card here), which takes place on Saturday night (May 2, 2015) inside MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The end result should, based on early PPV estimates, return $300 million in revenue, helping the dynamic duo reach a financial summit that at one time, may have seemed impossible to reach.
