When Floyd Mayweather fought Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd, it wasn't
just the sport of boxing's financial records that were smashed; the Las
Vegas fighter also dwarfed the previous record for annual earnings by an
athlete, previously held by Tiger Woods in 2008.
Mayweather's $300 million earnings this year will help to fund the
decadent lifestyle of which he makes no secret, flaunting his $6.4
million watch collection, $1 million Bugatti Veyron, and his private jet
full of zip-locked bags of cash on Instagram regularly.
His record-breaking year will also allow him to retire from boxing in September, which he plans to do after one last fight that will see him defend a 48-0 victory record.
Despite his gargantuan earnings, Mayweather still managed to have his WBO welterweight title stripped from him when it emerged he had failed to pay a $200,000 sanctioning fee and vacate his two junior middleweight titles.
