While the gap is pretty large, it makes sense when you consider how Floyd has a lot more to lose here. Not to mention, Paul can still make a lot of money, especially with each PPV costing $50 USD. If 4 million people were to purchaser the PPV, Logan could make $20 million while Mayweather would make $100 million. Needless to say, this is a solid value proposition for all of the parties involved.
