whoa u so smart certain
70% of 60 million is 42 mil or so, thats probably as much as hed make from one sitting, canelo is the biggest mexican draw there will be, EVER. No one can top canelo/mayweather right now except one non mexican guy, named pacquiao.
No other fight would make the same as Canelo/Mayweather, except maybe martinez IF he gets pass cotto, and even that would still be a toss in the air. 50% of 100m would be substantially more than his highest grossing fight.
And although his undefeated streak is a novelty in itself and will bring in money, i doubt it'll top his last purse vs maidana. Although since he beat broner and its his boy, I'm sure they'll build something off of that. And it's all in the works really, broner being mayweathers protege, and then losing to maidana, sooner or later the WBC/WBO would have fought each other irregardless of feuds between top rank and gb/mp. expect a fight if neither of them loses in their next bouts. But I get where youre coming from
