Boring to you, not boring to millions. I actually enjoy Floyd's fights more than everybody post Roy Jones's era. Maybe except Pac.

And YES you are obviously a Floyd hater. When will your envy end???

Jesus imagine coming back for an easy fight and getting 275 million for your check. Motivation for real!

McGregor earned a solid 100m also, not bad for throwing a couple of punches a round.

Both these guys made ****** money Jesus “if you can count how much money you have you don’t have enough”

amazing basket in your sig - perfect execution

Yup, that's been the case for him for most of his career. In the endorsement world, nice guys definitely do finish first.

Yes - insane endorsement earnings for Federer. What's up with those football players endorsements being so relatively low?

Historically football players don't sell merchandise as well as others.

The individual sports lead the pack. That being golf and tennis. (Target demographics matter here. Huge spending audience.)

Most believe it's because of the helmets lol I think it's a combination of things though.

Football players get ****ed all around compared to other sports. (Unless you're a QB)

What, are you making out that it was good for the sport just because it was good for Floyd's wallet?

Honestly, I doubt anyone ever makes as much as Floyd again. He didn't even fight ten full rounds and still made more than Messi and Ronaldo put together. It's so excessive that it's honestly a joke.

Floyd Mayweather is a fantastic example for every Boxer, Athlete and Businessman in the World.

Floyd came from a broken home and extreme poverty yet still managed to raise himself to become very wealthy and successful.

Floyd is a far better businessman then the 6 times bankrupt President Trump, who inherited the equivalent of 1 Billion today!

Floyd Mayweather would make a much better President of the USA then Trump!

Mayweather topped Forbes.com's rankings, released Tuesday, with an estimated $285 million in overall earnings last year.
