Record $120m for Mayweather fight

Floyd Mayweather's super welterweight victory over Oscar de la Hoya grossed $120m (£60m), confirming it as the richest fight in boxing history.
The previous richest fight was the 2002 heavyweight bout between Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis, which made $112m (£56m).
Reports suggest De la Hoya will earn a $45m (£22.5m) purse for the WBC title clash, which took place in Las Vegas.
Mayweather, who said he would retire despite his win by split decision, is expected to get around $20m (£10m).
The fight also attracted a record 2.15m pay-per-view buys.
The previous record for buys was 1.99m, generated by the second meeting between Tyson and Evander Holyfield in 1997, the infamous "Bite Fight" when Tyson bit Holyfield's ear.
Tyson and Holyfield both received $35m for that fight.
