A look at Mayweather and Wanheng
Mayweather is one of the most lucrative 'pay-per-views' sportsperson of all time. Nicknamed as 'Money', Mayweather has already retired. Wanheng isn't wealthy nor has the height of Mayweather, but can eclipse his record set. However, Wanheng's bout isn't going to attract the global audience.
