However, it seems that ‘Money’s’ social media earnings are not on the same level as his other financial ventures. Although Mayweather is currently one of the most popular athletes in the world, his social media earnings look like spare change compared to other popular celebrities.

In a list by Hopper that revealed the Instagram earnings of celebrities, Mayweather was ranked 55th on the list. His Instagram earnings amount to just $153,000 per post while other celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylie Jenner all charge over a million dollars a post. The list was topped by Ronaldo, who charges $2,397,000 per post, followed by Kylie Jenner, who charges $1,835,000.

He currently has a net worth of $450 million and is still the richest boxer in the world.

He stated that as long as Paul was interested in fighting YouTubers, he will cruise. He then claimed that if Paul wanted a real challenge he could face him. ” I think he (Paul) was doing a sitdown on a podcast one time, and he talked about it and he said. ‘I don’t want to do an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather.’ He said, ‘I’m only doing real fights. And of course, I can’t get high up in weight, but I’ll fight him in a real fight at the weight that I’m at.” said Mayweather.
