But nearly immediately after that, UFC President Dana White would threaten to sue Pacquiao's camp.
Despite many labelling the fight a mis-match, however, the fighters had hoped the bout would become the richest in the sport's history. Only one other fight - Mayweather's 2015 bout with Pacquiao - has ever drawn more, racking up 4.6 million buys.
