Turns out Floyd Mayweather didn't earn as much as he thought from his victory over Conor McGregor last month.
Following his 10th round TKO of the Irish MMA star in Las Vegas, Mayweather boasted that the megafight attracted the biggest box office sales of all time. Mayweather, who took his career record to 50-0 following the win, said the fight brought in over US$80m in ticket sales.
"We did break the record tonight for the biggest gate. Me and Pacquiao done $72 million, I think we did somewhere over $80 million for the live gate," Mayweather told the press.
However a report on the tickets sold to the fight at T-Mobile Arena says Mayweather was off in his estimates by about US$24.5m.
According to website MMA Junkie, the gate was taken from an official attendance of 13,231 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
That figure included just 137 complementary tickets with the remainder bringing in an average revenue of US$4,188 per ticket issued.
