Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the richest athletes in the world and is not shy to show it off to the world. He has an elite collection of cars, jewelry, and clothes, and a few months ago, he added a second private jet to his collection. Mayweather unveiled ‘Air Mayweather 2’ earlier this year in July and since then, ‘Money’ has constantly flexed the $50 million luxury on his stories and posts.

On Tuesday, he once again posted a story with his private jet and broke the internet. The fans were impressed by how far Mayweather has come from his humble beginnings.

The former lightweight champion uploaded a story on his Instagram profile from a runway, which featured his private jet in the background. Mayweather shouted, “Time to go,” as he strolled towards his private jet. Living life to the fullest, Floyd Mayweather loves to have a good time in life.

Before boarding the jet, he broke out the famous ‘Tarmac 2’ dance steps on the runway itself before confronting the camera again. He shouted, “Time to go. Let’s go,” once again in an excited tone as he was ready to get into his $50 million luxurious ride.

‘Air Mayweather 2’ is a tree sign of luxury, as it includes 12 premium luxury leather seats, gold-plated cup holders, and custom tweaks that feature the Nevada resident’s name alongside the fuselage. The die-hard Mayweather fans know how much he has worked for all this luxury and are proud of everything he achieved. They ensured the 50-0 undefeated boxer with love on his latest story.

Fans loved the little shimmy and reacted online to voice their opinions.

An inspirational journey

One fan thanked god for all the things he has awarded Mayweather for his hard work and wrote, “🔥🔥🔥 God is good, all the TIME!!! Continued Blessings 🙏🏽,” implying the fact that if you work hard enough, god will bless you sooner rather than later. And very few people have worked harder than the 5’8″ feet boxer.

Another fan, knowing the story behind ‘Money’, wrote, “An inspirational brother,” witnessing Mayweather’s journey from a poverty-ridden childhood to becoming ‘Money.’ His father was incarcerated for d**g trafficking and he had to live with his grandmother in a small apartment in Grand Rapids, Michigan. But ‘Pretty Boy’ dedicated his life to boxing and, in the end, became an inspiration for everyone.

Another fan wrote, “A cool dude❤,” after looking at Mayweather’s Tarmac 2 dance steps as he walked towards his jet. The retired boxer was nonchalantly pulling off what seemed like his ‘Jacob and Co. Rainbow Tourbillon’ watch, which includes an 18K white gold case set with 416 diamonds. The watch was exclusively made for ‘Money’ and is the only piece in the entire world.

A rather jealous fan wrote, “WHO CARES.. I DONT.. he’s not being me no money FOH another puppet,” implying he does not care what Mayweather is doing or not. Because in the end ‘Money’ only earns for himself and does not give back to the world at all. However, that statement is incorrect, as Mayweather has consistently supported those in need through numerous charitable organizations. Back in 2021, he donated almost $1 million to several charities. Since then, he has been constantly helping small businesses and the homeless.

Another fan who felt the retired boxer’s aura through video wrote, “🖤🖤🖤 Mayweather,” as he witnessed something that no other boxer can pull no matter how hard they try. What do you think about Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s $50 million ride? Share your thoughts in the comments down below.

A US court has upheld the ruling that Floyd Mayweather Jr., the former world boxing champion, must pay Zinni Media Concept Limited, a Nigerian company, $2.4 million in damages for breach of contract.

According to a statement from Alex Nwankwo, the company’s media executive, Zinni Media reached an agreement with Mayweather to make various appearances in Africa, including one in Nigeria, in June 2017.

However, the former boxer unilaterally terminated the deal without cause and refused to reimburse the company for the advance payment paid for the service.

Nwankwo claimed that Mayweather’s legal representatives implied that because the company was not based in the US, the boxer could not make any refund.

“After several unsuccessful attempts to recover the appearance fees from the American boxer, the company instituted a legal action against Mayweather in 2018 where it alleged breach of contract, unjust enrichment and fraud against the former champion. We are grateful that two courts have granted a prayer by Zinni Media Ltd to impose terminating sanctions against Mayweather,” the statement reads.

In October 2023, a lower court in California ruled that Mayweather should pay Zinni $1,638,542 in damages, $721,881.32 in prejudgment interest, $16,270 in sanctioned attorney fees, and $285 in costs. The total compensation amount ordered was $2,376,978.

 

The lawsuit was filed in Clark County, Nevada, and it covers all the dancers who’ve worked at the club, which Floyd Mayweather Jr. co-owns with his sister, Deltricia Howard.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is back in the headlines, this time being sued by a couple of exotic dancers from his Las Vegas strip club, Girl Collection. They’re accusing him of stiffing them on pay and even slapping one of them in front of everyone.

floyd mayweather jr Jon Jones

The lawsuit was filed in Clark County, Nevada, and it covers all the dancers who’ve worked at the club, which Mayweather co-owns with his sister, Deltricia Howard.

The dancers claim that Mayweather and Howard classified them as independent contractors instead of employees, which meant they didn’t get minimum wage for their hours.

On top of that, they say they were forced to hand over part of their tips and pay extra fees to other staff, which they argue is a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

According to the lawsuit, Mayweather called the shots on when dancers could leave and even decided how much of their tips the club kept. The dancers also allege that both Mayweather and his sister threatened and intimidated them, especially after they tried filing a federal lawsuit last year.

Floyd Mayweather

That case was dismissed, but it’s back now in state court, with an added claim that Mayweather slapped one of the dancers.

The dancer who says she got slapped claims it happened on April 23, 2023, when she asked Mayweather about her pay. She alleges that Mayweather smacked her in front of other dancers, then followed her into the locker room, saying she couldn’t “take a joke.”

 

Floyd Mayweather is facing a lawsuit for an apparent wage dispute gone wrong. The boxing world champion is being sued by Jasmine Woodward, an exotic dancer who worked at Mayweather’s Las Vegas nightclub ‘Girl Collection’.

The lawsuit, filed on Monday in Clark County, Nevada, details an incident after Woodward’s shift on April 23, 2023. She says that she approached Mayweather about “failure to pay her for the shifts that she worked earlier in the weekend,” and was met with “[a slap in the face] in front of other dancers and customers on the floor of the club.” (TMZ). Her attorneys also wrote in the suit that she retreated to the locker rooms in tears and Mayweather followed her, telling her that she “could not take a joke.”

Floyd Mayweather was once an appreciated mentor to Gervonta Davis but the relationship has crumbled in recent times.

The 50-0 boxing great signed ‘Tank’ to Mayweather Promotions back in 2015. After an undefeated title winning run in which his power and talent were showcased, Davis announced a split from the company in 2022.

Since then, the pair have sent both veiled and direct digs at each other via the media, making talk of a fantasy fight even more intriguing.

In an interview with The Art of Dialogue, former Mayweather opponent and big puncher Shane Mosley backed the older man to win in a prime vs prime fight.

Floyd Mayweather vs Gervonta Davis

“Floyd Mayweather I think wins. Pretty easily at 135. He’s a little taller, he’s faster, he’s a boxer. I don’t think Gervonta would be able to get close to him. He wouldn’t be able to counterpunch Floyd cause he’s too short.

At the same time, I rocked Floyd pretty good. Gervonta seems to have the same type of power I possessed when I was younger. There’s another thing, Floyd didn’t like to fight southpaws back then … So that is a possibility, cause he didn’t like to fight southpaws. I still think Floyd would’ve got him, but there’s a question mark there because Gervonta Davis does punch hard and he could crack him.”

Though ‘Tank’ has said he would love to make the fight happen, any jabbing the pair do will be limited to back and forths on social media.

In the meantime, the hard-hitter from Baltimore is slated to return to the ring this December to defend his WBA Lightweight World Title, with super-featherweight champion Lamont Roach the reported challenger.

Jon Jones thinks the idea of Floyd Mayweather setting foot in the octagon is a bad idea, adding, that he’d ‘hurt’ the boxing icon if they ever crossed paths in the cage.

While undeniably one of the greatest combat sports athletes of all time, ‘Money’ is lacking experience outside the realm in which he made his name.

Jon Jones thinks he’d destroy Floyd Mayweather

In his remarkable boxing career, Floyd Mayweather has established his status as one of the most talented competitors to ever lace up the gloves.

With lightning hands and an incredible sporting IQ, the American carved a reputation for making his opponents miss and subsequently pay.

floyd mayweather jr  Jon Jones

In addition to his dazzling skills, Mayweather possessed the gift of the gab, frequently winding up his opponents and boxing fans with his braggadocious attitude.

This resulted in the boxer making an astronomical amount of money through the public buying his fights, often in the hope he’d lose.

This gave him the opportunity to build monstrous events, including a major bout with UFC star Conor McGregor.

While the clash received some criticism, Jon Jones enjoyed the spectacle, claiming he’d like to see more MMA stars make the leap into the ring.

However, he thinks all boxers, including Mayweather, should think twice about entering the cage.

In an interview with SNY, he said: “I would like it if we kept it to MMA fighters trying out boxing. I think it’s a lot safer for an MMA fighter to try out boxing. If you get a boxer inside the octagon, there’s so many elements that they’re unfamiliar: the head kicking, the body kicking and the choking and the arm-bending, ankle-twisting, and all that.

floyd mayweather jr  Jon Jones

“It’s a lot, and it can be really dangerous for Floyd [Mayweather] to join an MMA match. So, I would strongly suggest he reconsider.”

He was then asked what would happen if he fought the four-weight boxing world champion in the cage.

Jones answered: “Floyd Mayweather weighs like 150lbs, I’m like 220lbs. I’d hurt Floyd Mayweather. But I’m a huge fan of Floyd, let me say that.”

Fans are fearing the worst as ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley prepares to return to the ring.

The former three-weight world champion is set to headline a Celebrity Boxing event in Pennsylvania on Saturday night.

Mosley, 53, will take on full-contact karate fighter Bob Kofroth in a light-heavyweight scrap, eight years removed from his retirement from professional boxing.

During a career stretching from 1993 to 2016, Mosley won world titles at lightweight, welterweight and super-welterweight – achievements that earned him a first-ballot International Boxing Hall of Fame induction in 2020.

Mosley never shied away from a challenge and shared the ring with several great fighters including Floyd Mayweather, Canelo Alvarez, Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya.

floyd mayweather jr Jake Paul

Since hanging up his gloves he has turned his attention to being a boxing trainer and is currently working with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

But after 61 pro fights (49-10-1) the California puncher is struggling to kick the boxing bug.

Promoting his upcoming clash with Kofroth on social media, Mosley sent a message to his fans: “Make sure you watch my fight on September 28.”

However, his supporters were left concerned by the delivery of Mosley’s message, with many claiming his speech is ‘slurred’.

Reacting to the video, one fan wrote: “Don’t do it your voice is slurring you’re gonna wind up like Muhammad Ali.”

A third added: “Dude you can barely talk as it is. Stay on your damn couch my guy. Nothing for you to prove.”

You won’t believe how much he’ll make if he sells it at that price

Retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is ready to part ways with his grand six-bedroom, 9.5-bath bath estate in Beverly Hills, Calif., and he’s aiming to secure a hefty profit when he sells it of.

The Mexican is the top star in the boxing business according to Robert Garcia

The commercial success of Canelo Alvarez isn’t up for debate in the boxing world, of which he became the face after the retirement of Floyd Mayweather Jr, the Mexican’s executioner in 2013.

For that reason Saul Alvarez has the luxury of deciding who his opponents are, and regardless of their standing, his drawing power remains unmatched.

Robert Garcia: Canelo is a superstar whoever he chooses to fight

Thank you for watching

In his last fight on September 14 against Edgar BerlangaCanelo generated approximately $17 million in box office at the T-Mobile and around $60MDD in pay-per-view (PPV) sales, according to Sports Business Journal estimates. So in total he generated about $80 million by picking his opponent.

Floyd Mayweather

Those numbers deflate any attack on Saul Alvarez over his choice of opponents, believes trainer Robert Garcia, as only stars like Floyd Mayweather Jr. can do that.

That tells you that Canelo is a superstar, he’s the face of boxing right now. People make fun of him for his choice of opponents, but when you look at the buys, when you look at the gate, does he look like he’s found the right spot?

Mayweather was also in that position where no matter who he fights or who he puts on an exhibition with, he’s still going to put up good numbers. So, there are very few that could do that and Canelo is one of them,” Robert Garcia told FightHub TV.

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?

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.
