a fighter and looking for-
ward to a different kind of in playoff at
business at his strip club.
There were smiles all Northern Trust
around, and with good
reason. They pulled off an
audacious gamble Satur-
day night, and all that was
left to do was to count the
money rolling in.
Mayweather estimated his

McGregor said he likely
would clear $100 million,
and said he had his ac-
countants on speed dial
to make sure it was all col-
