Floyd Mayweather has amassed generational wealth for his family through several years of grit and hard work, which resulted in his undefeated pro-boxing record of 50-0 in a span of over two decades. While several A-listers tried to vanquish him, ‘TBE’ always found ways to have his hands raised.

It came along with sheer financial blessings, which turned Floyd Mayweather into the richest boxer of all time. No wonder, he doesn’t shy from spending his finances exceptionally. However, Mayweather had once promised a $50 million-plus expenditure on his partner, which he didn’t follow up.

Ahead of his scrap against Manny Pacquiao in 2015, Mayweather was reportedly dating a social media star, Medina aka ‘Bad’. He purchased her a Rolls Royce worth $30k on her birthday. Medan clearly seemed pleased to receive the gift. But Mayweather intended to follow it up with something bigger.

In an exclusive chat with TMZ, the undefeated boxer said, “I guess the next gift we buy her is the private jet.” 

According to reports, Mayweather currently has a net worth of around $450 million. Having secured half a billion for himself and his family, the five-weight champion can clearly make plans on purchasing jets, as he already owns a few for himself. However, Floyd Mayweather and Medina broke up after some time, and ‘TBE’ didn’t gift her the private jet, as promised.

Well, Mayweather himself owns a Gulfstream G650, which costs over $50 million. Mayweather also has his private pilots and moves across the world in his own vehicle. So, he could have afforded one for his partner, too.

Floyd Mayweather is still making millions

The unbeaten boxer retired in 2017 after putting Conor McGregor on his list of in-ring victims. However, the boxing world hasn’t overcome Mayweather’s hangover yet. The American boxer returned as an exhibitionist in the same year and took out Japan’s Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan.

Four years from then, Mayweather fought Logan Paul in a bizarre exhibition fight at an open weight, which ended in a draw. Following that, Mayweather claimed to hang his gloves full time. But he reportedly spun over $50 million from the fight. Hence, he is once again in talks to return and can possibly face YouTuber Money Kicks next.
