The Nevada State Athletic Commission has released the pay amounts for every fight on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing card, and all we have to say is it’s good to be Floyd and Conor. According to the NSAC documents, the two pocketed purses of $100 million and $30 million respectively, and those numbers don’t include pay-per-view cuts that are likely to triple the amount made by each man.

Other big winners from the event include The Money Team member Gervonta Davis, who made $600,000 in his controversial win over Francisco Fonseca (who made $35,000) in the co-main event of the night. Davis clearly hit Fonseca in the back of the head at the start of the 8th round, sending Fonseca to the canvas clutching his opponent’s legs. Despite the illegal blow, the fight was ruled a KO win for Davis.

Badou Jack did pretty well for himself too, winning the WBA light heavyweight title and pocketing $750,000 in his win over Nathan Cleverly, who only made $100,000. Pay-per-view curtain jerkers Andrew Tabiti and Steve Cunningham both made $100,000 in their cruiserweight title fight, which Tabiti won via unanimous decision.

Here’s a full list of the payouts from the top of the card down to the bottom:
