“90 Minutes, 750 Million Dollars”: Floyd Mayweather Labels Himself ‘Box Office’; Makes Other Athletes Look Broke

In the realm of boxing, Floyd Mayweather Jr. stands unmatched, not just for his fists but his finances. Ever wondered how one can amass $750 million in 90 minutes? Mayweather did, turning the ring into a gold mine. His biggest paydays came from clashes with icons like Pacquiao and McGregor, yet there’s more to his wealth.

It’s odd to think a boxer watches more football and basketball at home than his own sport. But Mayweather is no ordinary athlete; he’s an event in himself.

Boxer vs. box office: Floyd Mayweather defines his unique legacy

In a revealing segment on The Pivot podcast, Floyd Mayweather Jr. confidently delineated his financial dominance over other athletes and major events. The conversation began with the interviewer acknowledging Mayweather’s unparalleled success in boxing and his magnetic pull as a box office sensation, especially in Las Vegas, a city now hosting grand events like F1 races and the Super Bowl. Yet, the focus quickly shifted to Mayweather’s extraordinary earning power.

“I don’t know no athlete in history, 90 minutes $750 million. You tell me who?” Mayweather declared, setting the tone for his unmatched financial achievements. The interviewer concurred, “Athletically nobody, it’s not even close.” This acknowledgment underscores Mayweather’s unique standing in the sports world.

Moreover, Mayweather shared insights into his personal life and preferences, adding depth to his public persona. “I don’t knock football players, love football and love basketball, more than boxing. That’s all we watch in my home when we gambling,” he revealed, showing a side of him that relishes the thrill of betting, enhancing the viewing experience of other sports. Mayweather then highlighted the distinction between his career and those of current boxers. “What these boxers do now, they’re boxers. I’m a box office, there’s a difference,” he explained, asserting his legacy not just within the confines of the sport but as a cultural and financial spectacle that commands attention and generates massive paydays.

Floyd is not just known for earning huge amounts of money, he is also known for spending lavishly. not so long ago, he spent millions on the Super Bowl event, which he discussed in the same podcast.

Those are quick little temporary checks,” Mayweather revealed, highlighting a moment when he personally had to wire $12 million. “I had to go to the bank myself,” he admitted, underscoring his hands-on approach to managing his empire’s finances.

His narrative extended beyond banking halls to the thrill of the Super Bowl, where he leveraged longstanding connections for an unparalleled viewing experience. “I call my guy the ticket guy…I need seats to the game just in case, I mean, for my team,” Mayweather recounted, painting a vivid picture of his commitment to ensuring his entourage enjoyed the pinnacle of American sports alongside him.
