Boxing Legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. Has Accumulated a Hefty Net Worth Throughout His Career

There’s no disputing Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s legacy in the boxing league. Known as one of the most successful, skilled, and polarizing figures in the sport, the 49-year-old has won world championships in five weight classes and has an undefeated record. Not to mention, his charisma, fun-loving spirit, and flamboyant persona have only upped his profile and his evolving fanbase.

Through the years, Floyd has become much more than a legendary boxer. He has used his notoriety to not only become a marketing aficionado but to score various brand partnerships, from Burger King to Tequila Avíon. And with his history of taking home million is winnings, fans are wondering where he sits on the financial scale as a retired boxer.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Floyd has accumulated a sizable net worth of $100 million. This figure is the combination of his career as a boxing champion and promoter.

Per the outlet, Floyd stands as one of the highest-paid athletes of all time. He had a salary of $300 million per fight, with the talent taking down names like Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, and many more.

Interestingly, the site shares that Floyd’s net worth may actually be more. However, due to a legal dispute against Showtime with around $340 million fight earnings not being paid, his current net worth stands until more information comes to light. That said, this detail doesn’t change the fact that Floyd is the richest boxer of all time.

While some folks would say that men find themselves in problems due to a lack of sexual discipline, it appears that Floyd stands guilty. According to TMZ Sports, the 49-year-old was legally named the father of a 4-year-old little girl, whom he shares with Paige Moorehead, a dancer at his Las Vegas strip club, Girl Collection.

Per documents obtained by the outlet, Paige asked the Nevada courts to declare the boxer to be the father of the then-18-month-old child back in June 2023. Interestingly, the dancer claimed that she and Floyd were an item for eight years. However, she alleged that he called it quits once he found out she was pregnant. The child was born in December 2021.

In fact, Floyd reportedly took things a step further by firing Paige after she refused to get an abortion.

Now, the courts have ruled that it’s time for Floyd to open his purse and pay up. He is on the hook for $933,050 in back child support and has been ordered to pay $32,850 monthly.

One would say that the amount may be a bit egregious, but given that Floyd reportedly dodged requests for DNA testing, which resulted in a default judgment. Not to mention, the finances of the father are always considered when finalizing child support.

Although the child support order may seem abhorrent to the average person, given Floyd’s wealth, the amount is likely a drop in the bucket. That said, as a father of five children, it does serve as a cautionary tale.
