Mayweather turned one of the richest fights ever into just another $41.5 million payday Saturday night, dominating Alvarez from the opening bell and winning a majority decision in a masterful performance that left no doubt who the best fighter of his era is.

The fight was one of the richest ever-if not the richest ever-with a live gate of $20 million and at least another $100 million from pay-per-view.
