FLOYD MAYWEATHER, along with NBA legend Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods, is part of a select group of sportsmen who have made a fortune during their careers.
He was forced to refute the 'crazy" accusations that he had somehow blown his extraordinary wealth in 2020.
Chael Sonnen, a former UFC title challenger, once claimed Mayweather was "broke" and was forced to take another fight for a desperately-needed payday.
Sonnen stated in 2018: "I will say unambiguously, Floyd Mayweather does, right now, and is planning to box one last time."
"Floyd's broke. It's clear that Floyd Mayweather is broke.
"But, remember this: It doesn't matter what you did, it matters how you kept it, and he is dumb-dumb."
Conor McGregor, UFC star, was defeated in a money-spinning cross-over bout in 2017. Mayweather then decided to charge fans PS1,200 for online meet and greets.
Before the outbreak, he also toured the UK with 50 Cent, his former friend and rival. He claimed that the boxer's money was gone and would 'be at your nearest nightclub because he requires that action right now.
How could Mayweather have spent his entire fortune on himself?
He posts regular videos on social media showing off his amazing jewellery collection, chains, and stacks full of cash.
Mayweather admitted to having a passion in watches and displayed his 41-piece collection, including a PS14m Billionaire' watch by Jacob & Co. It was the most expensive.
He is a Las Vegas resident and also a keen gambler. Terezowens reports that Mayweather bet almost PS2.3m on college football in 2012.
However, sometimes the gamble does not pay off.
According to diaspora7 sources, the champion at five weight was nearly in debt to betting and wanted to rematch Manny Pacquiao in order to repay it.
He was ordered to pay PS4.5m in taxes in 2009 and settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2018 for PS600,000.
Mayweather owed PS17.8m to the IRS before he fought McGregor. He sued them in order to pay the debt after his lucrative fight with McGregor.
Notorious expressed concern about Mayweather's gambling issues during the build-up to the fight.
McGregor stated that McGregor needs to let go of his gambling addiction. McGregor is always talking about it, and then he doesn't do it.
"I can tell that he has a serious gambling problem from his behavior. He gambles on half-times, and other such things.
He shows his wins, but never the losses. He's probably in this position because he has to fight. "I'm focused on the fight and not gambling."
50 Cent stated that he gets into an uncomfortable space when spending money.
"He's going to try to spend it all... The money, gambling, and the girls get him every single time."
Mayweather owns a huge collection of luxury cars, including FIVE Rolls-Royces that are worth more than a staggering PS2m.
This is his Vegas home, which is worth PS8m. He also owns a Miami property that costs PS6.2m and a Beverly Hills mansion that he bought for PS19m.
The boxing legend was also a frequent flyer on his private jet throughout his career, which he still uses when he travels around the globe in retirement.
Mayweather is not just a fan of lavish parties but also enjoys hosting them. He spent a lot of money on his 43rd Birthday bash in LA, with a host celebrity guests.
Mayweather, despite the huge amount of money spent, is believed to have earned at most PS500m for his fights against McGregor and Pacquiao.
He also made a lot of money from his exhibitions against Logan Paul, Tenshin Naukawa.
McGregor was confronted by Mayweather, who showed him the $100m guaranteed cheque that he received from the Nevada State Athletic Commission. He claimed it was not cashable.
McGregor quickly replied, "That's for taxman."
Mayweather, who promotes fighters, still displays his endless amounts of cash and jewelry online and insists that he is not running out any time soon.
He said, "It's crazy. You hear a lot about Floyd needing money.
"I don’t have (anything), but I don’t mind making more money."
After days of training footage, Mayweather's next fight announcement is reportedly "coming up soon", according to reports.
In May, the boxing legend returned to action in Abu Dhabi against Don Moore, his sparring partner.
He looks ready to fight again in 2022.
He stated, "I will bring back another fight to the UAE this Year."
