He took the fight for the payday, there is no doubt about that, but he's also taking this seriously as a fight. He is allegedly getting $20m guaranteed. Few fighters on the planet can get that kind of guaranteed money. Allegedly there is another $20m bonus for the fighter that wins. That is some serious motivation to not just show, but to also win.
Not that net worth sources mean anything, but he's worth roughly $5m-$10m depending upon the source. $20m with potential of $40m is a night and day difference between his current lifestyle and what it could be. Remember, he blew through $400m+ and was basically broke not too long ago. This is life changing money.
