Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s nickname is "Money" for a good reason. He's practically made of cash. According to Forbes, the flamboyant boxing legend made more than $105 million in 2014 alone.  And boy, does he know how to spend it! 

Money Mayweather recently tweeted out photo of his jet along with a collection exotic cars with the words "Welcome to my world."

 For those who are curious, here's a breakdown of everything in Money's photo — and their approximate values:

A. Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano — $350,000

B. Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet —  $170,000

C. Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 — $400,000

D. Ferrari 458 Italia Spider — $260,000

E. Floyd "Money" Mayweather — networth est. $280 million.

F.  Ferrari 458 Italia Spider — $260,000

G. Gulfstream GIII — est. $2 million.

H. Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport — $1.9 million

I. Bugatti 16.4 Veyron — $1.3 million

J. Bugatti 16.4 Veyron —  $1.3 million

The total value of Mayweather's exotic car collection is roughly $5.94 million. For a guy with an estimated networth of more than $280 million, this is a drop in the bucket. After all, we're talking about the same guy who reportedly keeps $123 million in a single bank account. 

Mayweather doesn't claim to be an automotive collector in the same realm as a Jay Leno or a Jerry Seinfeld. Rather, he seems to be a guy who enjoys having nice things around — multiple copies of the same nice things. At the end of the day, driving the same Bugatti everyday of the week would be...uncivilized.

A deal is on the table for a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao on May 2 in Las Vegas, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum told Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports.

Arum says Pacquiao has agreed to the deal, as have Mayweather's "representatives." The way Arum frames it, all that's left is for Mayweather himself to agree to the deal.

Iole reports that Pacquiao has agreed to a 60-40 revenue split in which Mayweather would make an estimated $120 million and Pacquiao $80 million.

The two sides have been unable to make the fight happen for the better part of a decade, with multiple attempts to come to terms falling through over disagreements on drug-testing procedures and revenue splits.

When asked whether he was trying to force Mayweather's hand by announcing that Pacquiao had agreed to the fight, Arum told Iole: "I'm not trying to force anybody's hand, I'm just saying, 'Hey, we've agreed to everything, period.' The people we have talked to on Mayweather's side have agreed to everything. Now we need Mayweather to step up and say, 'Yeah, I'm on board. I agree.'"

The fight won't be as huge as it would have been a few years ago. Mayweather is now 37. Pacquiao, 36, has lost two of his past five fights after not losing a single bout from 2005 to 2011. History has taught us that any word of a potential Mayweather-Pacquiao fight should be taken with a grain of salt.

If the fight generates $200 million, it would be the most lucrative in history.

Los Angeles (AFP) - Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao will meet Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas on May 2 in the mega-fight more than five years in the making.

Unbeaten American Mayweather made the long-awaited announcement on Friday via the social media website Shots.com, ending weeks of increasingly intense speculation that the showdown had been set.

"What the world has been waiting for has arrived. Mayweather vs. Pacquiao on May 2, 2015, is a done deal," Mayweather wrote.

"I promised the fans we would get this done, and we did," he added, posting a picture of a signed contract.

Eight-division world champion Pacquiao dedicated the fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena to fans who "willed" it into being.

"I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years," said Pacquiao, who also posted a picture of the contract on Twitter.

"They have waited long enough and they deserve it."

The welterweight world title showdown -- Mayweather owns the World Boxing Council title and Pacquiao the World Boxing Organization crown -- is sure to be the most lucrative in boxing history, generating massive pay-per-view revenue.

 Pound-for-pound greats

More importantly for fans, it will finally pit the two boxers long considered the best "pound-for-pound" fighters of their generation against each other.

Previous bids to put together a fight between the two -- most notably in late 2009 -- had run aground over various issues, including division of the purse and a drug testing protocol.

Animosity between Mayweather's camp and Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum has also been a stumbling block.

Filipino southpaw Pacquiao, 57-5 with two drawn and 38 knockouts, has won three fights in a row since being knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez in his fourth bout against the Mexican.

"Pac-Man," who is 36, won a unanimous decision over Chris Aligieri in Macao last November in his most recent fight.

Mayweather, 47-0 with 26 knockouts, turns 38 on Tuesday and has two more fights in the Showtime deal that has made him the highest-paid athlete in the world.

Mayweather is homing in on the iconic 49-0 record of 1950s legend Rocky Marciano, who retired as an undefeated heavyweight champion.

Mayweather is coming off a unanimous decision over Argentine fighter Marcos Maidana last September in a rematch of a bout that Mayweather won by majority decision.

Both fighters said after their most recent victories that their showdown should happen.

In January, the two met unexpectedly at a Miami Heat NBA game and arranged a meeting at which discussions apparently got serious.

Pacquiao said last week he had agreed to the drug-testing procedures Mayweather wanted as well as other demands, and he believed an announcement of the fight was imminent.

A British newspaper reported last Sunday that Pacquiao had signed a contract and Mayweather was poised to announce the bout, possibly at the NBA All-Star Game in New York.

But in his brief courtside interview from the game, Mayweather denied the deal was done, leaving oft-disappointed fans to wonder if negotiations had stalled again.

As recently as Thursday, Arum said he "knew nothing" about the state of negotiations.

US media reported that Mayweather will garner 60 percent of the ultimate purse and will make in the region of $120 million while Pacquiao will make $80 million. 

Pay-per-view bonanza

Because each fighter is contracted to a different US telecaster, contracts also had to be signed by rivals Showtime and HBO, who will team for an historic joint pay-per-view.

It is the second time Showtime and HBO have made such a deal. In 2002 they teamed for the fight between then-heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, who was with HBO, and former champion Mike Tyson, who was with Showtime.

Not surprisingly, the trash talking was already underway.

"Floyd should enjoy being the A-side while he can," Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach said. "Because on May 2, Manny is going to put him on his backside."

Mayweather was having none of it.

"Manny is going to try to do what 47 before him failed to do, but he won't be successful," Mayweather said. "He will be number 48."

NOW WATCH: Here's Video Of That Boxing Match Actor Mickey Rourke Won In Russia — Reports Say His 'Homeless' Opponent Took A Dive

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney plans to fight five-time heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield in May as part of a charity fundraiser, the Salt Lake Tribune newspaper reported Monday.

The match will be for the nonprofit Charity Vision and is set for May 15 at the Rail Event Center in Salt Lake City, the newspaper reported.

From the Tribune:

"It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious," Romney quipped in an interview recently. "It won't be much of a fight. We'll both suit up and get in the ring and spar around a little bit."

Alas, it will be a one-fight career for the 68-year-old former Massachusetts governor and Salt Lake City Winter Olympics boss.

Holyfield agreed to participate in a fundraising event for Charity Vision, a humanitarian organization founded about 20 years ago by retired Salt Lake physician Bill Jackson, who, as a mission president in the Philippines for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, saw the suffering in areas with abject poverty and the total lack of medical care.

NOW WATCH: Animated map of what Earth would look like if all the ice melted

Floyd Mayweather Jr., the highest-earning athlete in the world, has hired an around-the-clock personal chef to monitor his diet before the last big fight of his career.

TMZ says Mayweather is paying Chef Q— a Las Vegas-based chef — $1,000 per meal. At four meals per day until the Manny Pacquiao fight, that would work out to about $184,000.

Chef Q says she's working for Mayweather 24/7 until the megafight on May 2.

"If he needs me at 3 a.m., I am there cooking up breakfast," she told TMZ.

It looks as if TMZ got that $1,000-per-plate figure from a video on Chef Q's Instagram page. In the video, Mayweather says, "I don't care where you're at around the world, if you want her to cook for you, it's $1,000 a plate. You know me, I'm getting a discount."

Considering Mayweather's lavish spending habits, it wouldn't be a surprise if he's actually paying that much.

Chef Q told TMZ that his diet consists of "high-levels of protein with no carbs — turkey, chicken, beef and fish." She says he's eating meals prepared with fresh ingredients only — no fast food — and has been on a juice kick.

There are a ton of pictures of Mayweather's meals on her Instagram page. They look delicious.

She told TMZ that Mayweather's favorite meal is "tacos." This is what her shell-less tacos look like:

Caribbean jerk tilapia:

 
Mediterranean cucumber cups:

 
BBQ beef:

Breakfast:

Mayweather is famous for keeping himself in impeccable shape. He seems to be doubling down before facing Pacquiao.

NOW WATCH: Here's The Science Behind How LeBron James Lost All That Weight

Los Angeles (AFP) - Tensions appeared to be rising around the long awaited welterweight world title fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, with the fighters' camps reportedly at odds over a proposed doping penalty.

Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz told the Los Angeles Times on Thursday that he was "a little puzzled and dismayed" that Mayweather wouldn't agree to the $5 million penalty Pacquiao had proposed should either fighter test positive for a banned drug.

Mayweather Promotions chief executive Leonard Ellerbe, however, told the newspaper that the drug testing protocol for the May 2 fight in Las Vegas had been "rigorously negotiated" by Pacquiao promoters Top Rank.

In comments to ESPN.com, Ellerbe called Koncz an "idiot."

"If this moron didn't convey his fighter's wishes when the negotiation was going on that's their problem," Ellerbe said. "This is a lame-a** attempt to generate publicity."

Drug testing was an issue in attempts to put a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight together in late 2009 and early 2010.

Mayweather wanted random Olympic-style blood and urine testing, but Pacquiao objected to some of the protocols and the deal disintegrated.

Mayweather later accused the Filipino ring icon of using performance-enhancing drugs, a charge which Pacquiao denied.

Pacquiao sued Mayweather over the accusation and the two settled out of court.

Drug-testing differences have been just part of the long and winding road to the  May 2 match-up between the two fighters widely considered the best pound-for-pound fighters of their generation.

The bout has required rival telecasters Showtime and HBO to work together to produce a fight considered a lock to break all records for pay-per-view viewers and revenue.

Pacquiao, a two-term Congressman from Sarangani province in the Philippines, is 57-5 with two drawn and 38 knockouts while Mayweather is 47-0 with 26 knockouts.

Last week, the US Anti-Doping Agency said both fighters had agreed to undergo Olympic-style random drug testing prior to the bout.

Mayweather has submitted to USADA testing for all of his bouts since 2010.

Both fighters must provide USADA with their whereabouts and make themselves available for blood and urine tests for drugs including human growth hormone (HGH) and the blood-boosting erythropoietin (EPO).

Pacquiao first suggested the reciprocal fine for a failed drug test as extra insurance that a doping issue wouldn't scupper the fight that fans worldwide have clamored for.

But Ellerbe charged the arrangement was an attempt to "put a $5 million price tag if Manny tested positive."

"It will cost Manny a lot more than some $5 million if he comes up positive," Ellerbe said.

NOW WATCH: Here's an easy fat-burning circuit workout you can do using only a line

About a month ago, we let you know that you weren't going to be able to afford tickets to theFloyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. At the time, they were selling for between $1,000 and $5,000 and most tickets weren't even being made available to the public. And believe or not (believe it!), Mayweather/Pacquiao tickets have become even harder to come by since then.

Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum just revealed that, over the last month, ticket prices have gone up and are now selling for between $1,500 and $7,500. And while the fight was originally expected to generate somewhere around $50 million in ticket sales, the expectation is that the fight will now make about $74 million based off the sale of about 15,000 tickets.

"It's crazy," Arum told ESPN yesterday, "but it is what it is. It's amazing."

Arum also revealed that a small number of tickets will likely be going on sale to the general public sometime within the next seven days.

"We'll probably have a handful of tickets that will go on sale to the public next week," he said. "It's mania."

Mania. That sums it up.

Here's the official artwork for the fight that was released yesterday:

The fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will cost $99 to watch on pay-per-view, the Wall Street Journal's Joe Flint reports.

It'd be the most expensive pay-per-view fight ever. PPVs for big boxing matches and UFC fights typically cost around $59. The previous record was $74.95.

Flint reports that a standard definition feed will cost $89. HBO and Showtime, the two companies that the respective fighters have preexisting deals with, are still hammering out the details.

The all-time record for PPV buys is 2.48 million for the Mayweather-Oscar de la Hoya fight in 2007.

Mayweather's biggest fight in recent years — against Canelo Alvarez in 2013 — generated 2.2 million buys and a record $150 million in revenue.

The Pacquiao fight — scheduled for May 2 in Las Vegas — is expected to exceed both of those records, and make Mayweather as much as $180 million.

NOW WATCH: 8th-grade basketball team loses after game-winning shot gets stuck on rim in freakish fashion

Floyd Mayweather has never lost a professional boxing match.

His last loss in any match came in the semifinals of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. 

The fighter who beat him was then 27-year-old Serafim Todorov, a Bulgarian boxer who was considered one of the best and most experienced boxers in the Olympics.

Sam Borden of the New York Times caught up with Todorov, and his life couldn't be more different than Mayweather's since the fight.

While Mayweather is now the highest-paid athlete in the world, Todorov lives on a monthly pension of $435. He and his wife are both unemployed after working at supermarkets and sausage factories, Borden reports. Todorov's neighborhood in Bulgaria is ridden with drug dealers and "underworld bosses" who have offered Todorov positions, but he has turned them down.

It's a far cry from where Todorov was in the 1996 Olympics. Todorov beat Mayweather in a close 10-9 decision, which was later appealed by Mayweather and the US team, who believed that Bulgarian judge Emil Jetchev was judging unfairly.

According to Borden, Todorov had a chance to cash in on his win. He says he was approached by three men after the fight who offered him a professional contract, but he turned them down outright. Here's how Borden tells it:

The other two men leaned in, one of them holding a pen. But Todorov pushed it away.

"Without considering, I said no," he said. "I just said it quick, like that. No."

He looked down. "You know what happened next? The two men went over to Floyd and started talking in English."

Todorov says he later had an offer on the table to transfer his nationality to Turkey for the 1997 world championships. If he had won the gold, Turkey would have paid him $1 million. But the deal fell through at the last minute.

He has barely competed since.

"It was stupid. I came back and I found hell," Todorov said.

Here's the full fight:

Are you in the market for a mouthpiece? You can buy one here for just $9.99. But before you do, we should warn you: Even though that mouthpiece was made specifically for boxers, it's not the mouthpiece that Floyd Mayweather uses.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to afford the kind of mouthpieces that Money Mayweather uses during his fights. Reason being, he pays about $25,000 for the custom mouthpieces that he obtains from New York City-based dentist Dr. Lee Gause. And they cost so much because they often include diamonds, gold flakes, and—of course!—real $100 bills in them (Mayweather sure loves putting his $100 bills to good use, doesn't he?). They look like this:

So why in the world does Mayweather spend a small fortune on mouthpieces? Well, apparently, it's because they work.

"My career's gone on 19 years," he told TMZ Sports over the weekend, "and I've been able to preserve my smile."

But still, $25,000 for something that could realistically cost as little as $9.99? That's so Mayweather.

NOW WATCH: You've been doing lunges all wrong

Mike Tyson seems to be enjoying something of a comeback these days. With his acting career and popular one-man show that tours the country, the former boxing champ finally seems to be getting some positive press.

Of course things were not always so good for Iron Mike, who was jailed in 1992 for rape and went to jail again in 1999 on assault charges, after which he was broke and struggling. Because of his financial problems, Tyson was forced to sell his 19,500-square-foot mansion on 58 acres in Southington, Ohio, where he'd lived since the 1980s. It was purchased by a TV marketer for $1.3 million, but the guy never moved into it (he's in jail for money laundering). The house sat vacant for years.

Photographer and urban explorer Johnny Joo tells Business Insider he knew about the estate for years, but it wasn't until 2013 that he attempted to venture inside. First stopped by police, Joo later obtained permission from the new owners who purchased the mansion last year.

What Joo (pronounced "yoo") found when he finally got inside the house was striking. Tyson's grand estate lay in disrepair, a shadow of its former '80s glitz and glamour. Still, it was impressive, and Joo shared his images with us. You can see more on his site or on his Facebook page. A new book of his urban-exploring photography is out now.

The first time Joo attempted to enter Tyson's abandoned mansion, he and a friend were arrested and given fines before they even got inside.

The second time around they got permission to explore the place.

The mansion, which Tyson lived in in the 1980s and '90s, sat vacant since 1999, until late last year when it was finally sold. "I had obtained permission from the current owner to document restoration progress," Joo says. "It's still in very good shape."

We are less than two weeks away from the most anticipated fight in recent boxing history when Floyd Mayweather finally takes on Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Details about how much the two fighters will make and where the money will come from are starting to emerge, and the amounts are staggering.

At the end of the day, both boxers are expected to make "well over $100 million" regardless of who wins, according to John Branch of the New York Times. The payouts would be more than twice as much as any other payday in boxing history.

Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter, confirmed that Mayweather's down payment before the fight alone will be $50 million and Leonard Ellerbe, chief executive of Mayweather Promotions, would only say that Mayweather's check will be "a lot more than $50 million."

Branch took a closer look at the numbers and says that once all the revenue is added up, the two fighters could split "around $300 million" for the 12-round fight.

Here are the biggest sources of revenue for the fight:

• Pay-per-view— Branch estimates pay-per-view sales will generate $270 million in revenue alone based on purchases in 3 million homes. However, some believe sales could reach 4 million homes, which would push this portion of the revenue up to $360 million. Of that, 55-65% will go to the fighters or ~$150-233 million with the rest going to cable companies and satellite providers (30-40%) and HBO/Showtime (7.5%).
• Ticket sales — Gate receipts at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas will generate ~$72 million thanks to tickets ranging in price from $1,500 to $7,500.
• International broadcast sales—"At least" $35 million.
• Closed-circuit broadcasts at bars— $13 million.
• Sponsorships− $12 million.
• Merchandise sales —$1 million

Of most of the revenue going to the boxers, 60% will go to Mayweather with Pacquiao taking the other 40%. However, according to Arum, one $20 million slice of the pie (revenue between $160 and $180 million) will be split depending on who wins the fight, with the winner taking $10.2 million and the loser receiving the other $9.8 million.

Not a bad payday for what will likely be amount to about one hour in the ring.

NOW WATCH: Here's how Floyd Mayweather spends his millions

With 10 days to go until the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight, contracts aren't signed, tickets aren't on sale, and the fight that could save boxing is instead reflecting the flaws that continue to damage it.

While the two camps agreed to the fight in February, they've yet to sign the contract, ESPN's Darren Rovell reports.

As a result, tickets to both the fight at the MGM Grand and the closed-circuit viewings at MGM properties around Las Vegas haven't been released for sale.

Ticket sales are expected to generate $72 million, but a week and a half before the fight, no one has a ticket. The two sides reportedly made progress on Tuesday, but the contract remains unsigned as of Wednesday morning.

Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank, is blaming Mayweather Promotions, and vice versa. 

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum told Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports that Mayweather's adviser Al Haymon is responsible and that the delay is possibly a power play so Mayweather's camp can get more tickets to sell on the secondary market. This theory was seconded by Pacquiao's adviser Michael Koncz, who later told Iole, "This is Haymon and Haymon alone. He is trying to keep us from getting what we're due in the agreement we signed."

Mayweather Promotions didn't respond to requests for comment.

Arum told Rovell that the contract Mayweather Promotions sent Top Rank on April 15 was different from the term sheet they signed back in February. Top Rank wouldn't have control over how the fight is staged under the contract that's on the table, Arum said.

"They don't want us to have any say,"Arum told ESPN. "So whether they came up with the deal between Mayweather and MGM before or after our agreement, they've committed fraud either way. That's what we're enmeshed in."

On Tuesday, Arum said his camp finally got the ticket manifest, which seems to have cooled tensions a bit.

Mayweather Promotions is the fight's lead promoter. The two sides also agreed to a 60-40 revenue split in favor of Mayweather. Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe told Rovell that Arum is trying to change the agreement at the last minute, hence the delay:

The bottom line is that Bob isn't willing to live with the agreement signed a couple months ago, which doesn't allow him to be in control. The only conspiracy, in my opinion, exists with him trying to conspire with his lawyers to change the terms of the agreement. I assure you that nothing underhanded is going on and the reference to this back alley stuff is ridiculous.

We've reached out to Top Rank for comment.

Oscar De La Hoya, whose Golden Boy Promotions used to promote Mayweather's fights, blamed Floyd's camp for the delay, which he called "shocking."

"This is mind-boggling. This is shocking, but at the same time, we understand what is going on," he told Iole. "This is the Al factor. This is what you get when you deal with Al."

De La Hoya taunted the fighters on Twitter, offering a free ticket to the Canelo Alvarez-James Kirkland to any fan who sent him a picture of their Mayweather-Pacquiao ticket, which don't exist:

This is the closest anyone came:

The consensus in the boxing world is clear: This is a joke, even if it the ticket fiasco works itself out.

Iole, a Hall of Fame boxing writer, called it a "farce" and an "embarrassment." 

"The biggest event in boxing history is rapidly turning into its greatest embarrassment," he wrote. "And that's saying something considering the long and mostly sordid history of professional boxing." 

Rovell asked Arum about the possibility that the fight would fall through at the last minute, but Arum said that even in a worst-case scenario, the governor of Nevada could step in to force the gaming commission to put on the fight.

Other boxing commentators and fans are incredulous:

Even when the contract is signed, only a small percentage of tickets are expected to go on sale publicly. In addition, the pay-per-view will cost fans $99, making it the most expensive PPV fight ever.

Connor Gregiore of the secondary ticket seller Seat Geek told Business Insider that it's "very unusual" for tickets not to be available this close to an event.

"Haven't seen it before with any fight, let alone one of this magnitude," he said.

"People are hesitant to make a purchase on the resale market when there's all this news about the confusion and delays in the original sale and distribution of tickets," he told Business Insider. "We're starting to see activity pick up here over the past few days, but it's been a much slower trickle of purchases over the last few weeks."

MGM hasn't commented on the ticket situation this week, and didn't respond to a request for comment.

Ultimately, this is probably a fitting way for Pacquiao-Mayweather to unfold. This fight should have happened in 2009, when both fighters were at the peak of their powers. It didn't happen, and now we're seeing exactly why.

NOW WATCH: Here's how Floyd Mayweather spends his millions

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has more money than he knows what to do with.

He's the highest-paid athlete in the world, and is expected to pull in well over $100 million when he fights Manny Pacquiao on May 2.

Mayweather, who's known to flaunt his wild spending habits, gave ESPN a look inside the garage at his Las Vegas house in an MTV Cribs-like segment with Stephen A. Smith.

In the tour, Floyd showed Smith a car collection that he says cost nearly $15 million. The two had this exchange:

ESPN: The seven cars that you showed me are in excess of $15-to-$20 million dollars?

Mayweather: Let me see what's the number ...

ESPN: And you don't drive them?!

Mayweather: You're right it's close to $15 million.

ESPN: And you don't drive them?!

Mayweather: No.

BI's car expert Benjamin Zhang says Mayweather would have had to overpay, but it's plausible that he paid $15 million for these seven cars. Of the seven cars Mayweather showed ESPN, there were two Ferraris, three Bugattis, a Lamborghini, and a McLaren.

The breakdown:

McLaren 650S:

Ferrari 458 Spider:

Ferrari Enzo (cost: $3.2 million, Mayweather says):

Bugatti 16.4 Veyron (cost: $3.2 million, Mayweather says):

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4:

This is only part of Mayweather's car collection. Obi Okeke, who told SI he has sold 39 exotic cars to Mayweather, says the Ferrari Enzo is one of 11 in the United States.

NOW WATCH: Here's how Floyd Mayweather spends his millions

With just 10 days to go until their highly anticipated fight, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have finally reached an agreement on contract details that will allow tickets to be put on sale, according to Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports.

While it may seem like a minor thing, the inability to reach an agreement on the ticket distribution had turned the entire fight into a debacle, and the fight itself appeared to be more and more at risk with each passing day. While there was an agreement in place between the fighters, there was still no contract between the promoters and the MGM casino where the fight will take place, Iole reports.

The agreement was reached during a conference call orchestrated by CBS CEO Leslie Moonves, according to the report.

Bob Arum, the chairman of Pacquiao's promoter Top Rank, confirmed to Iole that they are just waiting for the paperwork to sign.

"If what we agreed upon is in the paperwork we receive, we will sign it and the tickets will be released," Arum told Yahoo! Sports.

According to Don Riddell of CNN, tickets will go on sale today.

A limited number of tickets are expected to be available to the public, ranking in price from $1,500 to $7,500. The total revenue from ticket sales is expected to be $72 million, a big chunk of the $300 million Mayweather and Pacquiao are expected to split.

NOW WATCH: Here's how Floyd Mayweather spends his millions

Floyd Mayweather has a lot of money and he loves to spend it on cars.

In a recent interview with ESPN, Mayweather revealed he has $15 million worth of cars that he never drives just sitting in the garage of his Las Vegas home.

But clearly this was just the tip of the iceberg. One car dealer has come forward with more details on the champ's car-spending habits, and the details are mindboggling.

Josh Towbin of Towbin Motorcars told Martin Rogers of USA Today that his dealership has sold Mayweather "over 100 cars" in a span of 18 years.

According to Towbin, Mayweather's fleet of cars includes 16 Rolls-Royces.

Anything goes with Mayweather, Towbin said, including his preferred method of payment — cash, duffel bags full of cash.

"Champ likes to pay in cash," Towbin told Rogers.

Jesika Towbin-Mansour of Towbin Motorcars went on to say that the dealership had to invest in a new cash-counting machine specifically for Mayweather because their old one wasn't up to task.

Mayweather's former assistant, Tasha Robinson-White, explained that Mayweather would always go to the bank just before closing to withdraw large sums of cash and sometimes they needed to take duffel bags.

Mayweather's itch to buys cars is also not limited to store hours.

"We never know when Floyd will get the bug to come car shopping," Towbin-Mansour told USA Today. "It can even be in the middle of the night. There was one time that he gave us a call at two in the morning and of course we happily opened the store for him and he came in and bought a couple of cars."

It's unclear how many of the cars Mayweather still owns, but the collection he showed to ESPN included two Ferraris, three Bugattis, a Lamborghini, and a McLaren. According to USA Today, the Bugattis alone can cost more than $2 million each and Mayweather claims one Ferrari cost $3.2 million.

NOW WATCH: Here's how Floyd Mayweather spends his millions

The Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight is going to make a ton of money for everyone involved.

The fight is expected to generate $300 million in total for the two fighters.

Nick Gioncgo of World Boxing News reports that Pacquaio could earn an additional $2.25 million in trunk sponsorships from six different brands.

For comparison, the total sponsorship revenue in 2012's Mayweather-Miguel Cotto fight was $2 million, according to the Sports Business Journal.

Though Pacquiao's business manager, Eric Pineda, wouldn't reveal which companies are sponsoring Pacquiao's shorts, ESPN's Darren Rovell reported that Nike, Cafe Puro, and Air Asia will all have spots on the shorts.

Pineda told Gioncgo, "The rate for this fight is different from the previous (fights)."

John Branch of the New York Times examined the finances of the highly anticipated fight, and said both fighters should make "well over $100 million"— double the previous biggest payout for a boxing match.

World champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. stands to make well over $100 million in his fight with Manny Pacquiao on May 2.

As he prepares for that big fight — one that will draw in viewers who've never watched a boxing match in their lives — much of the coverage of Mayweather's life outside the ring has focused on his wild spending habits.

We all know he buys more luxury cars than he can possibly drive, spends $1,000 per meal, and flaunts his extreme wealth more than any other athlete alive.

But before the biggest fight of his career another, darker aspect of his life outside the ring is resurfacing.

Mayweather has a long history of domestic violence.

Since 2002 Mayweather has been accused of violence against women with alarming frequency. He pleaded guilty in two of those incidents, and in another he was convicted only to have the charges dismissed four years later. The most recent incident, in which he hit his ex-girlfriend in front of two of their children at 5 a.m. in 2010, resulted in a 90-day prison sentence.

Those three incidents:

1. Over a five-month span in 2001 and 2002 he pleaded guilty to two counts of battery domestic violence, a search of his criminal record on the Clark County website shows. He received 48 hours of community service and two days of house arrest. Three other charges — stalking, obstruction of a police officer, and violation of a protective order — were dismissed.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Melissa Brim, the mother of Mayweather's oldest daughter, was the victim. She later claimed in a lawsuit that Mayweather"swung open a car door, hitting her jaw, pushed her into the car and punched her several times in the face and body," the Review-Journal reports.

That lawsuit was dismissed in 2003, according to the Review-Journal.

In the press conference for his 2002 fight against Jose Luis Castillo, Mayweather was asked about the conviction and said, "Everybody that knows Floyd Mayweather, knows I'm a good guy. I have never been to jail."

2. In November 2003 Mayweather was arrested and charged with two counts of battery for allegedly fighting with two women at a Las Vegas nightclub. He was later convicted of misdemeanor battery and ordered to serve 100 hours of community service, the Associated Press reported at the time. According to the AP, one of the accusers, Herneatha McGill, testified that Mayweather "punched [her] on the cheek, and then punched [Kaara] Blackburn on the back of the head as she tried to help her friend."

A search of Mayweather's criminal record shows these charges were "dismissed per negotiation" in 2008.

3. In December 2011, Mayweather pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor battery domestic violence and no contest to two counts of harassment for hitting the mother of three of his children. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail and released after 60 days.

According to the arrest report, the victim, Josie Harris, got home at 2:30 a.m. on a night in September 2010 to find Mayweather talking to their two sons. The two got into a verbal altercation and Harris called the police, the report said.

The police report said Mayweather left after the police arrived, but returned at 5 a.m. with his friend James McNair.

Harris told police that she woke up to Mayweather standing over her reading her text messages. When she admitted she was dating someone, he allegedly started hitting her.

Harris told police that Mayweather hit her in the back of the head, pulled her off a couch by her hair, and told her, "I'm going to kill you and the man you're messing with."

One of Mayweather's sons saw the fight, ran out of the house, and alerted a friend of his mother's, who called the police, according to the police report.

Harris told Yahoo's Martin Rogers in 2013, "Did he beat me to a pulp? No, but I had bruises on my body and contusions and [a] concussion because the hits were to the back of my head. I believe it was planned to do that … because the bruises don't show …"

Harris had "redness on her face and a large contusion to the right side of her forehead and chin" when she was examined at the hospital, according to the incident report.

Mayweather Promotions did not respond to our requests for comment on this story.

Outside of these three incidents, Mayweather has been accused of domestic violence numerous other times. Deadspin published an exhaustive report of these accusations in 2014. According to their report, Mayweather has been accused of violence against women seven times in the last 13 years, including a 2005 incident where he was found not guilty of battery after Harris recanted an allegation that he hit and kicked her outside a club.

Despite his 2011 guilty plea, Mayweather recently told Yahoo's Katie Couric that he doesn't beat women.

About the Josie Harris incident, he told Couric:

"Did I kick, stomp and beat someone? No, that didn’t happen. I look in your face and say, 'No, that didn’t happen.' Did I restrain a woman that was on drugs? Yes, I did. So if they say that’s domestic violence, then, you know what? I’m guilty. I’m guilty of restraining someone."

Harris has since relocated to California with their three children. She told Rogers, now of USA Today, "I was a battered woman. I felt embarrassed about saying I was a battered woman. I felt shame. I felt like it was my fault. What did I do? I didn't understand what a battered woman was at that time. Now I know I was in a very dysfunctional, hostile relationship and a victim of domestic violence."

Mayweather has avoided the sort of public scorn that high-profile athletes accused of domestic violence have faced. Boxing is a niche sport, and doesn't have the sort of authoritative governing body that can meaningfully punish a figure like Mayweather.

Now, before the rare fight that will draw in non-boxing fans, awareness of Mayweather's domestic violence history is starting to go mainstream.

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has used Mayweather's history to create a good versus evil narrative around the fight.

"Manny is really against domestic violence,"Roach told USA Today. "It is a big issue maybe in the Philippines for him and being a congressman he can control some of that stuff. That is a big plus for me that Manny does not like the guy, I think the killer instinct is going to come back a lot faster."

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will square off in the biggest boxing match of the decade on May 2.

Mayweather, despite being two years older than Pacquaio, at 38, enters the fight as the favorite to win.

In a profile by Sports Illustrated's Greg Bishop, Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach described how Pacquiao can pull off an upset. 

Mayweather is widely regarded as one of the best defensive fighters ever. Roach says that while most boxers hate to be backed into the ropes, Mayweather uses it to his advantage. He purposely falls back, waiting for his opponents to follow him, where Mayweather can then set up a counterattack. Roach says Pacquaio can exploit this:

"If you jab or feint him, and he steps back, you have a huge advantage to score. But you have to score, and you have to get out really quickly. Mayweather will throw back. But he won’t counter until you stop. Some fighters will just keep throwing at him. My fighter shouldn’t. In and out. Clean combinations."

Roach also thinks that Pacquiao's left-handedness could be a strategic advantage over Mayweather.

Mayweather's signature shoulder roll, where he guards his body with his left arm, deflects punches with his left shoulder, and counters with his right hand, can be exploited by a southpaw like Pacquaio, Roach says.

Bishop writes:

Because a southpaw, if he gets close enough, can tag Mayweather in that left shoulder with a straight left, or a series of them. The angle is better. Theoretically, anyway. "He’s rolling right into a southpaw’s power," Roach says. "That’s a huge advantage for us."

Roach, who trained Oscar De La Hoya for his match against Mayweather (which De La Hoya lost), says De La Hoya didn't move to Mayweather's left like he should have, instead getting baited to follow Mayweather straight back. He wants Pacquiao to move more side to side, specifically to Mayweather's left, on Saturday.

De La Hoya echoed a similar notion about Pacquiao's left-handedness to Wall Street Journal's Gordon Marino:

"Mayweather has never fought a lefty who moves in and out, side to side like Pacquiao," De La Hoya said. "Pacquiao’s footwork is the key. Also, he has to make Mayweather open up and engage, then punch when Mayweather is punching."

De La Hoya recommends jabbing over Mayweather’s defensive guard. "And bring that great left of his down the middle."

The boxing world seems to be in agreement about how Pacquaio can beat Mayweather. Doing it is another story.
