Floyd Mayweather Suggests He'll Make $300M For Conor McGregor Fight
FLOYD MAYWEATHER, JR.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. expects to make over $300 mil- lion for fighting Conor Mc- Gregor on Aug. 26.
Appearing on Showtime's All Access: Mayweather vs. McGre- gor, Money said he believes he can trump the mammoth pay- out he earned for his May 2015 superfight against Manny Pacquiao.
"I mean, am I the highest- paid athlete out there? And just coming back? We not talking about no contract," May- weather said. "We not talking about no contract for no four years, or no contract for no five years. I can do it in 36 minutes. $300 (million) or better. In 36 minutes."
The conditions of the purse split between Mayweather and McGregor won't be made public according to the terms of the confidentiality agreement both parties signed, but it stands to reason Mayweather could flirt with $300 million if the fight sells well.
Stephen Curry Shoots 74 Again At Ellie Mae Classic, Misses Cut
STEPHEN CURRY
Stephen Curry shot 4-over 74 on Friday -- his second con- secutive 74 -- at the Web.com Tour's Ellie Mae Classic, but it wasn't enough to extend his first professional golf event into the weekend.
He missed the cut by 11 shots against professional golfers who are one notch below the PGA Tour, although the two- time NBA MVP for the Golden State Warriors looked re- spectable.
Curry opened with a 74 on Thursday at TPC Stonebrae and needed a career round to stay for the weekend. Wearing bas- ketball sneakers, he shot a 74 again on Friday to finish tied for 148th.

James Harrison Spends
Roughly $300,000 A Year To
Keep Body In Playing Shape
Any NFL player relies on his body to make a living. Many more athletes thus in- vest heavily on conditioning and recovery to stay in peak shape.
No case is more extreme than James Harrison, the 39-year-old Pittsburgh Steel- ers linebacker preparing for his 14th season.
According to Fowler, Harrison spends around $300,000 a year on acupuncture, massage ther- apy, chiropractors and cup- ping. Most of the cost stems from traveling across the country to see specialists.
"I don't need to do the

checks and balances like that," Harrison said. "When it comes down to it, what I make versus what I spend, the payout is worth it based on how I feel."
