The former five-weight division champ is the first man in the combat sport whose career earnings surpassed the $ 1 billion mark. It’s a big milestone to achieve. But interestingly, with the speed he pocketed hefty cash, he spends it at the same pace and eventually it has become his habit.

Following this, Masvidal added how Mayweather changed his career with his promotion. Talking about the first big fight of Mayweather’s career against Oscar De La Hoya, Masvidal mentioned the purse of both fighters- Mayweather made $17 million and De La Hoya made around $100 million. Though De La Hoya lost the bout he ended up making far more money than Mayweather because he was fighting under his promotion.

This inspired Mayweather and he began fighting under his promotion and that changed the course of his career forever. He started promoting and handling his fight’s business and that clocked massive checks.
