Floyd Mayweather (45-0) faces off against Marcos Maidana (35-3) on Saturday night (Showtime PPV, 9 PM) in a welterweight unification bout from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It marks the third fight under his blockbuster Showtime deal after more than a decade fighting under the HBO banner. Mayweather has mastered the art of selling a fight as the most polarizing figure in the sport. This week was no different as he talked about Maidana possibly being his last fight, as well as his interest in buying the Los Angeles Clippers. Mayweather fully reaps the benefits of being boxing's biggest attraction through a business model where he controls all of the revenue streams of his fights as promoter via Mayweather Promotions (Golden Boy Promotions handles most of the logistics of Mayweather's bouts as co-promoter).

It has been all about the Benjamins since Mayweather transformed from 'Pretty Boy' to 'Money' after his split from Top Rank in 2006. The move has been a knockout for Mayweather with his career earnings reaching $400 million. Here are some of the other important numbers in Mayweather's universe with a focus on the money, just like Floyd.
