7 boxers are among the all-time richest athletes, with Floyd Mayweather at No. 8 with $1.11 billion
There are several notable boxers who have made the list, but Floyd Mayweather is the ninth highest-paid athlete in history.
Money is called money for a reason. The fighter was unbeaten in his professional boxing career and unbeatable when it came to robbing banks.
Famously, Mayweather raised over $100 million to take on Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao.
The 50 highest-paid athletes ever were assembled in a list recently released by Sportico.
Nonetheless, Floyd Mayweather, was the highest-ranked boxer in eighth position. Following the unbeaten boxer in 16th place and earning $455 million during his boxing career is Mike Tyson.
"Iron Mike" is followed by the legendary Manny Pacquiao. 'PacMan,' who finished in 21st position, earned $560 million.
Even though Floyd Mayweather is no longer a professional boxer, he still takes part in exhibition fights.
Money retired in 2017 after defeating Conor McGregor via knockout.
