He isn’t nicknamed ‘Money’ for no reason.
Retired boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is in the news again after posing with a pile of cash on Instagram, as he’s wont to do, and adding an inevitable self-aggrandising line, claiming he makes ‘seven figures a month without moving a finger’.
The former pound-for-pound king, who brought the curtain on his career with a flawless 49-0 after out-punching Andre Berto late last year, made an estimated $800 million in his 19-year career, with over $200 million coming in his victory over Manny Pacquiao in the ‘fight of the century’.
Money, who recently went globetrotting with a British teenager, has posted a clip of him relaxing alongside a huge pile of cash, with the caption: “They say ‘Life Is What You Make It’ and to that, I’ll agree wholeheartedly!”
“As I sit here acknowledging how blessed I am to be retired a year shy of my 40th birthday, it’s nearly impossible to say that I am not living the “American Dream”.
“Without my usual six-pack or muscle tone in sight, I can sit back and get the last laugh, knowing that I put in the “Hard Work & Dedication” to be 49-0. I’m blessed to wake up every morning, certain that my bank accounts are growing.
“Making seven figures monthly without moving a finger, just further proves that I’ve made brilliant investments and decisions that allow me to walk away from the ring, comfortably. I’m proud to be a King.”
There are rumours he’ll return to the ring to take on the super-talented Kazakh Gennady Golovkin, but Money has remained mum.
Whether he’ll come back to make it 50-0, or wallow in his hedonism is anybody’s guess.
