The “Money Fight” between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor added $2.6 million to its revenue in box office receipts on Saturday. Variety reports that the card took in the number on 534 total screens. That was enough to belatedly put the film in the top ten totals for the weekend’s box office.

The fight was actually the third highest-grossing project in theaters for Saturday, behind only The Hitman’s Bodyguard and Annabelle: Creation. The fight is of course expected to make much, much more in terms of PPV buys.
