The fights going to make a lot because it's interesting. A lot of people who don't know the sports really believe this is a close fights, others will pay just to see Mayweather play with McGregor and some will pay just to see the spectacle.

Plenty of cash to keep the UFC onside and/or give him a weak title defense in the interim.
