 LAS VEGAS -- For the second time in three fights, Floyd Mayweather will earn a guaranteed purse of $100 million. 
 
 Mayweather, coming out of a two-year retirement, will earn that sum as a minimum for his junior middleweight boxing match against UFC star Conor McGregor on Saturday (Showtime PPV, 9 p.m. ET) at the T-Mobile Arena, according to contract figures released on Friday night by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. 
 
 Mayweather also earned a guaranteed $100 million for his 2015 megafight with Manny Pacquiao, though he made around $250 million because of his share of the enormous profits from the record-shattering event. The fight with McGregor, 29, is largely expected to break the Mayweather-Pacquiao records, which would give Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs), 40, another payday well in excess of $200 million. 
 
 McGregor's minimum purse is $30 million, which dwarfs any he has made for his fights in the Octagon during his mixed martial arts career. But the Irishman will wind up making tens of millions of dollars more than his minimum because of his share of the promotion. His take is likely to exceed $100 million. 
 
 Gervonta Davis (18-0, 17 KOs), who was stripped of his junior lightweight world title for weighing in at 132 pounds, two more than the division limit, will make $600,000 for his co-featured bout against Francisco Fonseca (19-0-1, 13 KOs) because he was overweight. Fonseca will earn $35,000, though a portion of Davis' purse is likely to go to him because Davis missed his weight. 
 
 Secondary light heavyweight titlist Nathan Cleverly (30-3, 16 KOs), of Wales, will make $100,000 for his defense against Badou Jack, though Cleverly is likely to earn more from British television. Jack (20-1-3, 12 KOs), fighting for the first time since vacating his super middleweight title to move up in weight, will earn $750,000. 
 
 Cruiserweights Andrew Tabiti (14-0, 12 KOs) and Steve Cunningham (29-8-1, 13 KOs), a former two-time world titleholder, will make $100,000 apiece for their pay-per-view opening bout. Welterweight Thomas Dulorme will make $75,000, and Yordenis Ugas will be paid $50,000 for their 10-round bout, which headlines the Fox-televised portion of the undercard. 

 Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor has always been about the money. The two fighters, who will make history on Saturday night when they square off in Las Vegas on Showtime PPV, seemingly took this match to rake in one of the biggest financial gains from a sporting event ever. 
 
 Now, we have a rough idea of just how much money the fighters will be making. According to contract details from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Mayweather will earn a disclosed purse of $100 million while McGregor will bring in $30 million, according to ESPN. It is the same disclosed purse Mayweather received for his fight against Manny Pacquiao in 2015. Meanwhile, McGregor will make a minimum of $30 million, which is nearly 10 times what he made from his last UFC against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 -- his last previous high salary. 
 
 Here's how the fight card breaks down with disclosed salaries for each of the main card fighters. 
 
 Fighter Fighter Weightclass Floyd Mayweather $100 million Conor McGregor $30 million Junior middleweight Gervonta Davis $600,000 Francisco Fonseca $35,000 Junior lightweight Badou Jack $750,000 Nathan Cleverly $100,000 Light heavyweight Andrew Tabiti $100,000 Steve Cunningham $100,000 Cruiserweight 
 
 The numbers are just insane, but the craziest part is how much they can still be inflated depending on how many PPV buys, ticket prices and other expenditures add up from the event.
– Whether or not it'll be a good fight (experts tend to agree "not"), Saturday's match between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor is certain to be profitable—potentially historically so—for both fighters. ESPN reports Mayweather is guaranteed a minimum purse of $100 million and McGregor a minimum purse of $30 million. It may seem like McGregor is getting the short end of the stick, but that $30 million is nearly 10 times what he earned in his last UFC fight, according to CBS Sports. The purse amounts were released Friday night by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. While those numbers are eye-popping enough, both fighters are expected to take home far more than the minimum thanks to ticket sales, pay-per-view orders, and more. UFC head Dana White expects a record 4.9 million people will watch the fight on pay-per-view, and the fight's total revenue is projected to be $700 million, that Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. That's $100 million more than Mayweather's record-setting 2015 fight against Manny Pacquiao. ESPN believes McGregor will end up taking home more than $100 million and Mayweather more than $200 million. But the latter is predicting his payday will be at least $300 million. Those sky-high numbers make sense, as CBS states both fighters "seemingly took this match to rake in one of the biggest financial gains from a sporting event ever."
