Boxer Manny Pacquiao is expected to get at least $80 million for his fight against Floyd Mayweather, but Pacquiao said Thursday he was fighting for his fans, not necessarily for the money.
The highly anticipated welterweight fight between takes place on Saturday night in Las Vegas and is expected to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
"I'm not really looking for the money," Pacquiao said in an interview with CNBC's "Closing Bell."
"The money is secondary. Of course we have to earn money for the fight … I say yes because the fans are very eager to see this fight.
