Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mayweather has banked the most money as a professional athlete since June 2013. He is the first athlete besides Tiger Woods to earn $100 million in Forbes’ annual tally of the highest-paid athletes.
According to Forbes, “His September 2013 fight against Canelo Alvarez set records for highest PPV gross ($150 million), live gate ($20 million) and total revenue (roughly $200 million). He pocketed $105 million from just two bouts thanks to his role as both pugilist and promoter.”
