Boxers get paid their guarantees immediately after the fight. No direct deposits, but an actual check. At the post fight press conference Mayweather says he was handed a $100 million check. That is just the start, once all the PPV, merchandise, sponsorships, gate receipts, black market ticket sales and etc come in, Mayweather will probably clear over $200 million.
Money doesn’t mean you are going to be liked or your past will be erased, but the facts are no matter what fans or media think of Mayweather, he is generating more money than any athlete has ever had.
The interesting part is he is doing it while boxing in a very clinical style, but all the negative attention is just making him one of the richest athletes of all-time.
