‘Showed my accounts’ – Floyd Mayweather approaches Eddie Hearn in hilarious meeting after promoter disputed legend’s net worth
Floyd Mayweather hilariously set the record straight with Eddie Hearn after the promoter’s dispute of his overall net worth. ‘Money’ earned exactly that during his stellar boxing career, pocketing in excess of $1.2 billion in total earnings, including from his lucrative paydays against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor. Mayweather was alongside Hearn in Las Vegas Widespread reports indicate that Mayweather’s current total net worth is around $400 million, which has allowed him to live an extravagant lifestyle outside of the squared circle. Despite retiring from the professional ranks in 2017, Mayweather has been fighting in a series of remunerative exhibitions against some lesser opposition including Deji and Logan Paul. The boxing legend has repetitively insisted he is earning eight-figure paydays from each, even going as far as to nickname them ‘legalised bank robberies’. But when explaining why he was accepting the showman style events, he insisted it was to continue to build his generational wealth. Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn made the suggestion in multiple interviews that Mayweather’s net worth wasn’t the same as many expected due to his plush purchases. He said: “I don’t think he’s got the money he says, that’s what I think. “I don’t think he needs the money but you know when you’ve got that lifestyle, when he’s spending what he’s spending.” The pair crossed paths in Las Vegas in a boxing gym as they watched some sparring, as they were both in town for the fight between Diego Pacheco and Steve Nelson. Mayweather jokingly began in a conversation: “So one day somebody said, coz you know I don’t have social media on my phone, so they showed me Eddie. “Eddie was like, ‘Floyd Mayweather Junior ain’t got no money’. ‘That’s why he doing exhibitions’. Eddie don’t believe that. Matchroom BoxingMayweather spoke to Hearn and pointed out his previous net worth comments[/caption] “I know he says some s*** like that, but me and Eddie got it clear.” Mayweather had a smug grin across his face as did Hearn, and the pair then shook hands. The promoter then responded: “Yeah as long as it is 10 or 20, there is no problem. Anything less…. It can’t be less than 10.” The gag sent Mayweather bursting out laughing with a member of his team, as it was abundantly clear there was no hard feelings. Mayweather then clarified: “Listen I had to show Eddie some of my accounts.” Hearn then concluded: “Imagine how much Floyd Mayweather would have made if I was his promoter, do you know what I’m saying?” Matchroom BoxingHearn sent Mayweather into hysterics after being shown the legend’s accounts[/caption] Mayweather is clearly not short of cash, and it is no wonder given his remarkable spending sprees in recent months. The boxing legend has invested heavily in real estate, including his biggest-ever $402 million purchase of a series of apartment blocks. It is currently unclear if he has any more exhibitions lined up, but he has continued to be linked to lucrative return bouts. Hearn never promoted Mayweather, but likely wishes he did, given the star power of the American. His pay-per-view-events against Pacquiao in 2015 and McGregor in 2017 remain the two biggest-earning fights in the modern era.
