Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are officially set to meet again in the ring after their iconic 2015 fight, which was famously labelled “Fight of the Century.” The prospect of seeing the boxing legends again has already generated significant buzz among global fans, and they are already marking their calendars to witness the historic moment live from The Sphere in Las Vegas.
The 2015 showdown reportedly generated more than USD 60 million in total revenue. And now that two of the greatest boxers of all time are returning for a sequel to finish the previously unfinished business, the stakes are sky-high. But before they trade punches again, let’s take a look at their massive wealth. Who is richer in 2026?
Inside Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s legendary boxing career
Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s name is mentioned among the richest athletes of all time, thanks to his legendary years in the ring and his unmatched boxing legacy. He was born into a boxing family; his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr. (28–6–1, 18 KOs), is a former welterweight contender who dominated the ring with his strategic gameplay and skilled defense. Beginning training at a young age, Mayweather Jr. was a standout amateur, having his first fight in 1996, and was famously branded as “Pretty Boy”. He has known the power of self-marketing since his early boxing days and used various tactics, including stirring controversies, fiery trash talks, and strategic matchups, to increase his pay-per-view sales.
At the height of his career, Mayweather became one of the highest-paid athletes, earning as much as USD 300 million in a single year twice. In 2013, he famously showed an ESPN reporter a checking account with a whopping USD 123 million. By the time he retired from boxing in 2017, Floyd Mayweather Jr. was officially in the billionaire’s club, generating an estimated USD 1.2 billion in total career earnings. And the numbers are, besides the fact that he filed a lawsuit in 2026, alleging that hundreds of millions of his fighting career earnings had remained unpaid. Ahead of his September 2026 rematch, Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s boxing record stands at 50-0 (27 KOs).
Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s massive net worth and assets
Now retired with a massive legacy, Mayweather Jr.’s net worth as of February 2026 is estimated at USD 100 million. His per-fight salary reportedly stands at USD 300 million, following his USD 250 million bout against Pacquiao in 2015 and his USD 300 million fight against Conor McGregor in 2017. Besides his active appearances, Mayweather Jr. makes around USD 10 million every year from various exhibition fights and endorsements.
Besides financial wealth, Mayweather Jr. has a massive real estate portfolio, including a 13,000-square-foot mansion in Las Vegas, which he bought for USD 9.5 million in 2009 and listed for USD 14.5 million in 2011; a 22,000-square-foot mansion in a gated LV community, which he paid USD 10 million for in 2018, and another 15,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion worth USD 25.5 million, which he bought in 2017. In 2021, he purchased a waterfront mansion in Palm Island, Miami, for USD 18 million and sold it for USD 22 million the next year.
Floyd’s car collection is also one for the books. He once claimed USD 15 million worth of luxury cars sit in his garage untouched. Over the past two decades, he has bought more than 100 vehicles from Towbin Motorcars in Las Vegas, often paying cash. Highlights include a USD 5 million Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, multiple Bugattis, a Pagani Huayra, and a LaFerrari Aperta. He reportedly owns nearly 20 Rolls-Royces. Though he sold his USD 60 million Gulfstream G650 in 2025, he still flies private aboard a Gulfstream III dubbed “Air Mayweather II”.
What was Manny Pacquiao’s boxing career like?
Manny Pacquiao’s boxing career has also been nothing short of legendary. To date, he remains the only boxer in history to win world titles in eight different weight divisions. A native of the Philippines, Pacquiao didn’t have a boxing background growing up, but he was heavily inspired by the likes of Mohammed Ali and Bruce Lee. Hailing from a financially struggling family with six siblings, Pacquiao began boxing when he was 14, and soon left his family, living on the streets while pursuing boxing to ease his divorced mom’s burden of raising the children. Later, he earned a spot on the national Filipino team and got a government-paid room. At age 16, he had earned his name as an amateur professional boxer, debuting in 1996.
Manny Pacquiao’s first professional light flyweight fight was against Edmund Ignacio, which he won. Early on in his career, he proved his mettle in combat sports, winning 15 back-to-back wins after losing one time to Rustico Torrecampo. By 2008, Pacquiao beat famous boxers including Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, officially becoming a six-division champion. After years of stalling, he finally faced Mayweather Jr. in the historic 2015 face-off. As of February 2016, Pacquiao’s professional record stands at 62-8-3.
Manny Pacquiao’s massive net worth and assets
Pacquiao has earned at least USD 500 million from various fights and endorsement deals across his 25-year boxing career. His biggest paycheck came from his 2015 loss to Mayweather Jr., where he reportedly took home USD 130 million. His pay-per-view fights reportedly paid him approximately USD 1.3 billion in revenue, and he was the world’s second-highest-paid athlete in 2015 after his historic fight. Besides boxing, he has also tried his hand at politics and entertainment, appearing in a few Filipino movies.
Paquiao’s massive fortune also includes real estate. In 2009, the boxer and his wife, Jinkee, purchased a USD 2 million home in the Hancock Park neighborhood. Built just a year earlier, the property has been listed on and off over the years, most recently for USD 4.5 million in 2021. In 2015, Pacquiao made a huge upgrade in his properties, paying a whopping USD 12.5 million for a Beverly Hills mansion once owned by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The 10,000-square-foot estate came fully furnished, with art, appliances, and even a stocked bar included. Sitting on a 30,000-square-foot lot, the home features seven bedrooms, spa-style bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, and a private theatre worth USD 200,000.
Who is richer in 2026?
Well, as of February 2026, Pacquiao leads in net worth, with an estimated USD 220 million in wealth, contrary to Mayweather Jr.’s USD 100 million amid pending financial disputes with the ongoing lawsuit. However, the latter still holds the edge in overall career earnings, having generated over USD 1 billion in fight income alone.
