The success of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao might mean the boxer needs a nickname upgrade: Super Money? Floyd Mayweather’s net worth has exploded now that he is taken home a $100 million check, making him the half a billion dollar man, and the crazy part is that is only the down payment, since the final amount is expected to be much, much higher. Even Manny Pacquiao’s net worth has jumped as the “loser” in the match, and he is probably crying all the way to the bank.
In a related report by the Inquisitr , it has been reported that Manny Pacquiao allegedly fought with an injured shoulder, and Pac-Man supposedly was denied a helping medical shot in the locker room.
Just how much money is involved when it comes to estimating Floyd Mayweather’s net worth? Let us put it this way. It has been reported that Mayweather kept $250k in a duffel bag in preparation for a strip club party planned for the aftermath of of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. It is even being claimed that Suge Knight’s bail money might be paid off by Mayweather, which is no chump change since the judge in the case lowered it from $25 million to $10 million last month. Even during the leadup to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, Floyd was burning through money by paying $4,000 a day for a specialized chef to cook him food, and he also signed contracts with a gold pen that only has 124 others like it in the world.
Regardless, even Mayweather himself was slightly daunted by the $100 million check that he received after the fight. The number was so big in comparison to his previous matches that he just had to share it with reporters.
”No pictures, though,” Mayweather said, according to the Associated Press. ”Don’t want any pictures of it.”
Based upon the amount of $100 million, Floyd Mayweather’s net worth is currently estimated at about $400 million as of this publishing. His career earnings as a boxer are also $505 million, but keep in mind this $100 million check is only the tip of the iceberg. After the pay-per-view sales are finally tallied, it is possible the total amount could easily exceed $200 million for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, which would bring his total net worth up to being half-a-billionaire.
Apparently, $500 million is more than enough, since Floyd Mayweather’s retirement plans are already in place. Mayweather is already planning on giving up all of his title belts before the final match in September, and he admits he no longer enjoys the sport of boxing.
”I don’t really think I’ll miss the sport,” Mayweather said. ”I don’t even watch boxing. At one particular time I loved the sport of boxing. I wanted to go to every fight and wanted to be at every boxing event. But I just lost the love for the sport.”
As for Manny Pacquiao’s net worth , it’s nothing to sneeze at. Pac-Man also pocketed a $100 million check already, which should leave him with around $300 million, based upon his career earnings being $363 million.
Interestingly enough, the end goal for Pac-Man was not to gobble up money, but to fight the good fight as a Christian.
“I want to please the Lord, my family, and my fans with this fight,” Pacquiao told the Christian Post . “I want them to know I fought for God and my country, to bring them honor and glory.”
