Former boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr entered the NASCAR world in February 2022. With his new venture The Money Team Racing, the legendary boxer competed in certain races in the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series. Currently, the team runs a #50 Chevrolet Camaro (honoring Mayweather’s legendary 50-0 win) with driver Kaz Grala.
However, although Mayweather is new to NASCAR, he has been the richest boxer of all time. With around $450 million of net worth according to Celebrity Net worth, the American boxer earned a salary of $300 million per fight!
On the other hand, Joe Gibbs Racing has been participating in the NASCAR Cup Series since 2000. Owned by former Washington Redskins coach, Joe Gibbs, the team has a robust driver lineup. Since 2000, the team has registered five Cup Series victories and is currently the home to drivers like Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Christopher Bell, Martin Truex Jr, Brandon Jones and Ty Gibbs.
But on looking at team owner Joe Gibbs’ money stats, Celebrity Net Worth reports that the former NFL coach and entrepreneur have amassed a net worth of $60 million throughout his career. Gibbs, who coached quarterbacks Joe Theismann, Doug Williams, and Mark Rypien to Super Bowl victories, now owns one of the top NASCAR teams.
Although Floyd Mayweather wins the round of being the one with more money, Joe Gibbs has definitely ceased the round for leading his team to the most wins in NASCAR.
