Professional boxers Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are reportedly set to earn a combined $380 million from their recently concluded megafight.

The fight is already known to be the most lucrative boxing match of all time, generating a total revenue of around $600 million. As of now, both fighters remain without officially scheduled opponents for their next bouts, leaving the possibility of a rematch on the table for both.

Official earnings for the two fighters have yet to be released, but most industry insiders have suggested that the range was somewhere around $370 million to 380 million, according to Bleacher Report.

The lucrative pot for the fight will not be split evenly between the two fighters. Prior to the fight, both Mayweather and Pacquiao agreed to a 60-40 split of the earnings, with the former receiving the majority stake.

If the projected $380-million figure is to hold, Mayweather will make somewhere around $220 million to 230 million while Pacquiao will receive around $150 million.

While a gap between the fighters' respective earnings already exisst because of the agreed-upon stipulations, the exact amount of difference is still expected to grow.

According to ESPN, Pacquiao's take-home pot will be dramatically reduced once he pays off his promoter Bob Arum as well as Top Rank. Mayweather will not be required to make the same payments.

Pacquiao is also at risk of having his purse reduced even further by lawsuits filed after the fight. The lawsuits claim fraudulent promoting on the part of Pacquiao for non-disclosre of his shoulder injury prior to the bout.

Prior to the recent earnings reports, Mayweather said he expected to make $275 million from the fight. Both Mayweather and Pacquiao can point to the fight as the most extravagant payday of their respective careers.
