Floyd Mayweather's net worth passes $1billion ahead of Logan Paul fight

Floyd Mayweather's net worth has surpassed an eye-watering $1.2billion as he prepares to take on YouTube star Logan Paul.

Mayweather will take on Paul in an exhibition bout on June 6 in his first appearance since his win over Conor McGregor in 2017.

Paul has fought just once as a 'professional', losing to social media rival KSI in a rematch of their earlier white-collar bout.

The fight is expected to earn Mayweather $100 million and while many have criticised the boxer for taking the exhibition bout, he says his legacy is already "engraved in stone"."

He told Million Dollaz Worth of Game show: "I would [rather] have the currency than the legacy, my legacy is already engraved in stone.

“They say, ‘Mayweather’s doing exhibitions, it’s bad for boxing.’ At the end of the day, my mother’s a millionaire, my dad’s a millionaire, my children are millionaires.

“My little [five-month-old] grandson is a multi-millionaire and he don’t even know it.”

He went onto confirm he has over $1billion to his name.

He added: “I’ve made a billion. I’ve reached that four years ago. [Now I’m] over $1.2billion… I knew from the beginning I was the best in boxing, from day one.

“I just knew I was better than every other fighter. There will never be a fighter better than me, never.

“Tell me another fighter that beat 16 world champions straight? Tell me another fighter that, in just two fights, made $650million?…

“For [Manny] Pacquiao I made $300million, for [Conor] McGregor I made $350million.”

Mayweather also said he sees his fight with Paul as more of a business transaction than sport.

“My health is my wealth… No amount of money is worth my health, no amount of money," he said.

“But I’m still a smart business man. Now [if] we talk about a Logan Paul, a YouTuber, for $100million? Give me that.”
