How Floyd Mayweather’s net worth was built

Floyd “Money” Mayweather has the net worth to back up his nickname.

The boxer made $250 million from his fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2015. Mayweather’s career earnings total around $700 million.

Mayweather was fitted for his first pair of boxing gloves at age 7. That’s no surprise considering his dad, Floyd Mayweather Sr., and his uncle, Roger Mayweather, also were boxers. Floyd Mayweather dropped out of high school to pursue a career in boxing, and by 1996 he already had won three Golden Gloves.

He won an Olympic bronze medal in 1996 and turned pro shortly after.

Mayweather gained recognition in the pro boxing world in 2007 when he defeated Oscar De La Hoya for the WBC light middleweight title.

Mayweather officially retired from boxing in 2015 with a 49-0 record. As of August 2017 he had a net worth of $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

This is one of the black dudes am always afraid for considering his history of thoughtlessly wasteful spending!

Many thought they had investments and other buffers but just one stock market crash put them to ruin!

I pray he lasts sha!
