Forbes: With $300 Million Haul, Floyd Mayweather Tops Forbes' 2015 List Of The World's Highest-Paid

[Remote]

Do people still believe these things? lool

Floyd signs on the dotted line and his assets controlled by white men in suits.

Money in the entertainment industry is an illusion, the people making real money are behind the cameras.

$300 mill is the greatest money accomplishment in sports history brehs. even accounting for inflation, its still more than Tyson, Ali , Leonard etc were earning in their primes. $300 million toay, in 1995 money is $193 million, Tyson i think earned $75 million in '96 at his peak money years. So Floyd more than doubled that. a light punching blown up super feather? i never felt i would see that ever. its practically unheard of.

Not that I need to explain myself, but, I've posted enough pro Floyd posts and already said in this thread that I hope doesn't go broke. I love seeing Brothers get money, makes me feel good. But I've seen enough athletes go broke, especially boxers, to the point that it wouldn't surprise me if it happened to Floyd. If you dont get that, eat a dikk forreal breh. It ain't hate, it's conversation.

Find me an athlete that went broke with close to 800 million net worth, how about 300 million net worth?

the numbers are skewered.

The revenue was $500 million, but there were a lot more costs attached to it. Its not 500 million pure profit.

I'd bet Floyd took home around 130 million which is still A LOT of money.

He didn't take HOME 300 million He made a BIG GRIP and profited the MOST from the situation..the Vegas economy, Arum..they did well too. Bron got a $100 endorsement deal before he even signed to a team or the day of..some shyt like that and they were putting him on the Tiger level back in his rookie year in 2003.

Well Money said his revenue is around 275, 276M. You may be right on how much profited.
