Floyd is the fifth highest-paid athlete of all time and one of six athletes whose career earnings have exceeded $ 1 billion. The other five are Michael Schumacher ($ 1 billion), Jack Nicklaus ($ 1.15 billion), Arnold Palmer ($ 1.35 billion), Tiger Woods ($ 1.65 billion) and Michael Jordan (1, $ 9 billion).

What impresses me most about Floyd’s earnings statistics is that he managed to become the fifth highest-paid athlete in history with relatively low support revenues. In comparison, most of the highest-paid athletes in history have earned the vast majority of their income by signing contracts. Floyd has won more than half a billion dollars in just two fights. He earned $ 250 million in 2015 by fighting Manny Pacquiao. He earned $ 300 million by fighting Conor McGregor in 2017.

Floyd Early life

Floyd Mayweather was born on February 24, 1977, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., was also a professional boxer who fought Ray Leonard’s sugar. Floyd Jr.’s uncles, Jeff and Roger, are also former professional boxers. Floyd Sr. and Roger have repeatedly coached Floyd.

As a child, Floyd’s mother was a drug addict, and his father was somewhat absent. His father mostly spent time with young Floyd when he was old enough to go to a boxing gym. When his father sent him to prison, Floyd moved in with his grandmother. Meanwhile, Floyd devotes himself to boxing. He dropped out of high school and became an amateur.

CAREER

Floyd won the national glove championships in 1993, 1994, and 1996. Also, in 1996, he won a bronze medal at the Atlanta Olympics. His amateur record was 84-4.

Floyd’s first professional bout took place on October 11, 1996. He eliminated his opponent, Robert Apodaca, in the second round.

Throughout his career, Floyd has won six unprecedented boxing championships in five weight categories: super featherweight, lightweight, junior welterweight, twice welterweight and super welterweight. His professional boxing record at the time of this writing is 50 wins and 0 losses. Of the 50 victories, 27 have been eliminated.

Notable fights

On March 13, 2009, Mayweather will face her biggest career opponent, Manny Pacquiao. The match was probably the most anticipated fight of the decade. At that time, payment revenues were expected to exceed $ 180 million. Of this $ 180 million, Floyd would have an initial guarantee of $ 25 million, plus an additional $ 20-25 million at the transitional date. Unfortunately, Mayweather and Pacquiao did not come to an agreement, and the fight failed for many years. Floyd defeated Shane Mosley’s “Sugar” on April 1, 2010, and Victor Ortiz of 2011. On May 5, 2012, Mayweather defeated Miguel Cotto.

On May 4, 2013, Floyd earned approximately $ 50 million ($ 32 million guaranteed) for beating Robert Guerrero. On September 14, 2013, Floyd won $ 75 million ($ 41.5 million guaranteed) when he attacked Saul Álvarez. This established the highest bag record in the history of boxing, a record that was easily broken when Floyd finally faced Manny Pacquiao on May 2, 2015.

Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao finally arrived on May 2, 2015, in Las Vegas. This should be the most profitable fight in the history of boxing. Floyd and Manny agreed to share all the 60-40 wins. Floyd won $ 250 million from the fight. Pacquiao earned $ 150 million.

On August 26, 2017, Floyd Mayweather faced Conor McGregor in what was the most significant Pay Per View boxing event in history. The event generated at least 5 million PPV purchases. In the end, the fight generated about $ 700 million in total revenue from all sources and left Mayweather with a $ 300 million pre-tax paycheck. As a resident of Nevada, you have not paid state income tax. He paid about 40% of his income to the IRS. He paid 40% of his income, plus the 22 million arrears he owed on his 2015 income. In the end, his after-tax collection was $ 160 million. When added to his previous net worth, Floyd ended the fight for McGregor with a net worth of $ 560 million.

Net Worth
