That’s how many US dollars mafia scion John Gotti III is said to have collected as a purse for his second show fight against Floyd Mayweather.

The eight-round, two-minute exhibition fight between Mayweather and Gotti III in Mexico City was easily dominated by the former pound-for-pound star, who ended his boxing career in 2017. Mayweather, on the other hand, received an estimated fee of 20 to 25 million US dollars for his performance.
