Boxer Floyd Mayweather announced that was too busy to fight any time in foreseeable future. There should be no surprise there. As per Forbes' list, Floyd Mayweather is the highest-paid athlete, again. Surely, it is hard to stay motivated if you've got... everything.
"I'm not thinking about fighting right now," Floyd told TMZ Sports while shopping with his crew in Beverly Hills.
Not long ago, Floyd Mayweather was toying with the idea of taking another MMA fight, this time in 2018, of course. He speculatively had McGregor in mind. He "even reached out to UFC champ Tyron Woodley to set up a training program," reports TMZ Sports.
However, it must be difficult to focus on your training if you have so much going on, particularly business, particularly real estate. According to Floyd himself, he's got more than $100,000,000 invested in NYC real estate projects, And if that weren't enough, "he's a major investor in One Vanderbilt -- which he says will be the tallest skyscraper in New York," TMZ Sports reports.
It should, therefore, come as no surprise that Floyd Mayweather is the wealthiest athlete in the world. Forbes magazine estimated the now-retired pugilist’s annual income from June 1, 2017, to June 1, 2018, which amounted to $285 million — $275 million of which was classified as "salary/winnings," reports Fox News.
Mayweather now has been the highest-paid athlete four times in the last seven years.
