The boxing legend has earned more than $1billion dollars throughout his illustrious career

Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather Jr., a name synonymous with boxing greatness and wealth, has cemented his status as one of the most financially successful athletes of all time.

With an impeccable boxing record of 50-0, Mayweather’s prowess in the ring has translated into staggering earnings and an unrivaled net worth.

Despite his humble beginnings, Mayweather’s career earnings have soared to an astonishing $1.2 billion, making him one of the wealthiest athletes globally.

His net worth, as of 2024, stands around $400-$450 million.

What is the salary of Floyd Mayweather?

During his illustrious career, Mayweather secured fifteen major world titles, establishing himself not only as the richest but also one of the most decorated boxers of all time.

Before turning professional, he had already claimed an Olympic bronze medal and three national Golden Gloves titles, laying the groundwork for his future dominance in the sport.

Mayweather’s ability to negotiate lucrative fight deals has been a key driver of his astronomical wealth. His showdowns against boxing legends like Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor have resulted in eye-watering paychecks, with reported earnings reaching $300 million and $350 million respectively.

Notably, Mayweather’s guaranteed disclosed paycheck for his fights often pales in comparison to his actual earnings.

For instance, while his guaranteed paycheck for a fight might stand at $100 million, his actual earnings could soar to an astonishing $275 million, showcasing his unparalleled drawing power and revenue generation capability.

The magnitude of Mayweather’s earnings becomes even more staggering when compared to other athletes.

He sits proudly as the fifth highest-paid athlete of all time, alongside sporting icons like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.

What sets Mayweather apart is his ability to amass such wealth primarily through his boxing endeavors, with endorsement deals forming only a fraction of his earnings.

Mayweather’s real estate investments

Beyond the boxing ring, Mayweather has diversified his wealth through smart investments in real estate.

His property portfolio boasts luxurious residences in prime locations, serving as testaments to his keen eye for lucrative opportunities.

In Las Vegas, Mayweather’s primary residence since 2018 is an opulent 11-bedroom custom-built mansion spanning 22,000 square feet, acquired for $10 million.

Additionally, he owns a lavish 13,000-square-foot mansion in Vegas, purchased for $9.5 million, which served as his primary residence from 2010 to 2018.

The boxing icon’s real estate empire extends beyond Vegas, with notable acquisitions including a $25.5 million mansion in Beverly Hills, equipped with extravagant amenities such as a candy shop, a 12-seat movie theater, and a 300-bottle wine room.

In August 2021, Mayweather expanded his real estate holdings with an $18 million waterfront mansion on Miami’s Palm Island.

Outside the ring, Mayweather’s business ventures further bolster his financial empire.

He owns Mayweather Promotions, a successful promotional company, and TMT, his own apparel brand.

Mayweather’s extravagant lifestyle is characterized by luxury cars, private jets, and an extensive jewelry collection.

Despite occasional rumors of financial troubles, Mayweather’s strategic investments and his approach to wealth management have ensured his enduring prosperity.

The next ‘Money’ fight

Floyd Mayweather Jr. will face off again in an exhibition fight against John Gotti III, emanating this time from Mexico City. Although it has not yet been revealed what his purse will be for this show, it is estimated that Mayweather will get a much ‘more modest’ amount of between $20 and $25 million.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are tied at heart. But for now, professional commitments have positioned the much-in-love pair a few long-haul flights away from each other. As the elite gymnast is touring city to city with her Gold Over America Tour squad,  the Chicago Bears’ star enters week 3 of the 2024 NFL season. However, the couple lives to redefine the ‘out of sight out of mind’ theory, for they might be miles apart, but are always in each other’s thoughts.

Squeezing time out of her Arizona stop, Biles visited the famous tattoo artist Sydney Smith to get her husband’s initial tattooed on her ring finger recently. The moment she landed in San Francisco, she called Owens, who woke up from his sleep and went like, ‘Im going to cry, I’m going to cry.’ You’d think that’d be enough to symbolize her love? She even added a ‘Made in heaven’ on the back of her neck. Well, if she goes all the way to make him feel special, a huge possibility indicates that she might go the extra mile to stop by his game too. How does that work out? Well, here are the odds.

Simone Biles

Possibility of where they’ll meet

September 16, Simone Biles’ GOAT tour kicked off from Oceanside, a day after Jonathan had his Sunday game against the Houston Texans. Thus, the gymnast was probably settling down in California while her husband fought against her home team. While that was a missed chance, a few windows are opening up, the one with the highest probably on September 29.

  • The first possibility (September 21-September 22) Biles returns to the SAP Center, a special arena for her on September 21, for the GOAT tour stop. Whereas the Bears play the Indianapolis Colts the next day, September 22. However, it’s highly unlikely she will fly 5+ hours and then back to Salt Lake City, Utah for her performance at the Maverik Center the next day.
  • The second possibility (September 29) Fate aligns as such that Simone Biles arrives in Chicago, the 9th destination of the GOAT tour, the same day as Owens has his match against the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field. While the NFL game begins at 12 pm, Biles 110 minute long gymnastics gala begins at 7 pm. Also, the distance between the United Center and Soldier field is approximately 5 miles, achievable in 10 minutes. Thus, the logistics don’t seem an issue, as it is easily manageable for her to make it in time.

DDD dropped AJ four times including a lethal finish in the fifth round to bring an end to proceedings.

There were some big moments prior to the main event on Wembley’s stacked undercard – Josh Warrington RETIRED after losing to Anthony Cacace while Liam Gallagher provided the music with a three-song set comprising of Oasis anthems.

Having fun until the very end

Seconds before he went out on his shield, Anthony Joshua stuck his tongue out at someone in the crowd.

He was clearly having fun in there, although it was somewhat bizarre for him to be focused on what was going on outside the ring as opposed to Dubois.

Picture the scene

Anthony Joshua discovered the true power of Daniel ‘Dynamite’ Dubois on a humbling night for the former heavyweight champ.

AJ’s face was left distorted and misshapen in a remarkable image from the pair’s brutal IBF world title fight.

All class from AJ

What a bloke Anthony Joshua is.

Even after suffering a crushing defeat that ends his dream of becoming a three-time heavyweight champion, AJ still had time for selfies with fans.

A testament to the measure of the man.

Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois

AJ speaks on Dubois

Anthony Joshua had no excuses and was full of praise for opponent Daniel Dubois.

AJ said: “I’m a warrior. And also, before I finish, we have to give credit to our opponent as well, Daniel.

“Even though when I sign up to fight opponents I don’t really like them.

“But now it’s done, I take my hat off to him and say well done to him and his team.”

Teofimo Lopez recently called out Gervonta Davis for a fight this year.

‘Tank’ Davis currently holds the WBA Lightweight World Title, being elevated to full champion when Devin Haney vacated and making his first defence against previously-undefeated Frank Martin.

Lopez, who previously held four belts in that division, has settled one weight class up at 140 pounds, winning the WBO belt in his third fight there against Josh Taylor and making two successful defences since.

Gervonta Davis

Both are currently in the market for an opponent and Lopez recently issued the call for Davis to move up and face him before the year is out.

Speaking to Sean Zittel on a potential fight, undefeated super-featherweight Maliek Montgomery used the experience of a 2015 amateur bout with Lopez and more recent sparring sessions with Davis to make a prediction.

“I wasn’t able to get any work with Teo more currently, but from my perspective of being in the ring with both of them, that’s a tough one. I would still probably give the edge to Tank in that fight … just because that power is an equaliser, and it doesn’t help the fact that he has a great boxing IQ also.

Gervonta Davis

So it’s a part of now you gotta go twelve rounds of dealing with somebody who can box, has all those attributes, but also has that type of power that they can hit you one time and change the whole tempo of the fight.”

‘Tank’ is slated to return on December 21 against former super-featherweight champion Lamont Roach, according to Dan Rafael. Lopez is currently without a date or opponent.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) is the current WBA lightweight champion and was last seen when he defeated Frank Martin on June 15 this year. It remains to be seen what comes next for “Tank” as Dan Rafael reveals via his Fight Freaks Unite Substack that Gervonta Davis could be facing WBA super featherweight titlist and promotional free agent Lamont Roach (25-1-1, 10 KOs) on Dec.21 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.

Gervonta Davis

According to the report from Rafael, there were discussions for “Tank” to headline a PBC Prime Video pay-per-view event on Nov. 2, which has now been ruled out with Nov. 23 or Dec. 14 looking more likely. A third date has emerged as a possibility with December 21 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. presenting itself with WBA super featherweight champion Roach prepared to step up in weight to take on the unbeaten Baltimore fighter.

IBF champion Vasiliy Lomachenko had been the preferred opponent and had many in the boxing world dreaming of a fascinating unification match-up. PBC and Top Rank were said to be working on a deal when Lomanchenko decided to take off the rest of the year, leaving “Tank” to look elsewhere. Jose Valenzuela defeating Issac Cruz took the “Pitbull” fight away and a possible Valenzuela fight didn’t create much interest.

A fight against Roach in Washington would seemingly generate big interest with Roach from D.C. and Davis from nearby Baltimore. The two met in a 2011 amateur contest which “Tank” won via a three-round decision.

It remains to be seen what comes next for “Tank” as Dan Rafael reveals via his Fight Freaks Unite Substack that Gervonta Davis could be facing WBA super featherweight titlist and promotional free agent Lamont Roach (25-1-1, 10 KOs) on Dec.21 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.

December 21 Competition

The December 21 option against Roach is seemingly the likely option for the PBC PPV card. On that day will be the PPV between Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury II, which would seemingly garner the most interest in the boxing world.

Anthony Joshua‘s career is on the ropes following an absolute battering from Daniel Dubois in front of 96,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.

The former two-time heavyweight champion entered the ring a sizeable favourite but was on the back foot from the opening bell, beaten to the punch by the sharper, quicker and heavier-handed Dubois.

Dubois bullied ‘AJ’ for the best part of five rounds before landing the punch of his life to end it, just after he was wobbled himself. It marked the first defence of his new IBF Heavyweight World Title and a legitimisation of his status as one of the best in the world.

Anthony Joshua

Pre-fight, many were talking up an ‘AJ’ win being the path to the fight with Tyson Fury that fans have been demanding for years now. Of course, Dubois turned those plans upside down and now could find himself facing the winner of Fury’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk later in the year.

‘The Gypsy King’ was ringside for the event and gave his immediate reaction to Queensberry Promotions.

“He [Dubois] did a fantastic job. He did a very good job and fair play to young Dan. Everybody wrote him off you know, coming here he was the world champion and everyone chatted like he was bum and he showed what he’s made of and it’s very good for him, fantastic, fair play.”

Trouble is brewing for Devin Haney, who has found himself entangled in multiple feuds. Amid the excitement of the Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois event, the former undisputed lightweight champion made his way to London to catch the action live. However, his request for tickets from promoter Eddie Hearn fell flat.

Frustrated, Haney took to X to express his displeasure, calling out Hearn for his lack of support. “Wow I’m n London.. Eddie Hearn won’t give me tickets to the fight but keep mentioning me every chance he get… Eddie the fakest n***a I ever met bro,” Haney tweeted. Hearn quickly fired back, emphasizing his commitment to his fighters and urging Haney to lose the arrogance.

Gervonta Davis

“You asked me at 6am this morning. First I look after my fighters. Ask someone else and drop the arrogance.,” Hearn, who promoted Haney’s fight against Ryan Garcia among others, replied. The situation escalated when lightweight champion Gervonta Davis weighed in, posting a now-deleted tweet featuring lyrics from Big Sean’s ‘I Don’t F**k With You,’ seemingly siding with Hearn.

He especially highlighted the line, “Uh-huh F**k? I don’t f**k with you You lil’ stupid a** b**ch, I ain’t f**kin’ with you You lil’, you lil’ dumb a** b**ch, I ain’t f**kin with you.” As the drama unfolded, more responses to Haney’s surprising tweet started pouring in, intensifying the feud.

Devin Haney checked by Conor Benn

Soon after the entire feud started going viral on X, Hearn’s other boxer, Conor Benn, joined the conversation. “I’ve took your seat come and do something about it you p***y,” Benn initially responded to Haney’s tweet. Haney hit back to this, claiming he would fight him when Benn’s suspension from boxing is lifted, until then, Haney wrote, “best [to] stay away from dirty athletes.”

Fans think Tank is wasting everyone’s time.

Throughout his illustrious boxing career, Gervonta Davis has generally been considered “picky”. A lot of people believe he actively avoids the top fighters in his division. Despite that, he definitely took a risk when accepting to fight Ryan Garcia, and he passed that test with flying colors.

Gervonta Davis

 

Now, it seems he’s falling into the same pattern of choosing lesser opponents. A report came out on Friday that the frontrunner to be Davis’ next rival is Lamont Roach Jr. Roach is a fine boxer, but he doesn’t have the resume or starpower to sell a fight against Tank.

Daniel Dubois shockingly knack Anthony Joshua in five rounds to carry im sef go global sporting glory in front of 96,000 fans for Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Di 27-year-old drop Joshua many times to retain di IBF heavyweight title and leave im British rival career to scata.
