Floyd Mayweather Says His Best Investment Was Using $750K To Buy Himself Out Of A Contract

The sport of boxing has evolved. From the days of Jack Johnson to the era of Muhammad Ali, there has always been considerable momentum around boxing matches. And who can forget the ’90s that gave us the roller coaster that is Mike Tyson? However, you can’t have a whole conversation about the sport without mentioning the living legend, Floyd Mayweather. According to ESPN, Floyd Mayweather is the highest-grossing boxer of all time. Known as “Pretty Boy Floyd” in his early years, Mayweather entered the sport in 1996 and, in his 18 th professional fight, defeated the late Genaro Hernandez in the eighth round to win his first title and take the WBC super featherweight belt. He would go on to dominate his division, finishing his career with 50 wins, zero losses, and five division championships. His impact in the boxing ring earned him a spot in the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame. During his acceptance speech, Mayweather told the adorning crowd that his best investment was using $750,000 to...

These 10 Celebrities Had IRS Issues — Here's How It Worked Out For Them

IRS issues are actually a lot more common than you think. According to Jackson Hewitt, statistics show that people are more likely than not to run afoul of the taxman. Each year, nearly 30 million taxpayers will receive some sort of penalty from the IRS for failing to file their taxes correctly. As of 2019, more than 20 million people owe taxes to the IRS but cannot pay them. And millions of people, each year, either under-report their taxes or make a math error on their taxes — which, of course, results in more penalties and fees. If there’s one thing the IRS is going to do, it’s get the money that you owe them! In this regard, too, celebrities are just like us when it comes to IRS issues. We’ve all heard at least one story of one celebrity who has been slapped with a gobsmackingly large tax bill. And while many of these issues can be resolved with a good attorney and a reasonable proposal to the omnipresent government agency, it can still be distressing when a tax lien comes to...

Is Floyd Mayweather The Richest Boxer Of All Time?

Floyd Mayweather is one of the few people that can live up to his “Money” nickname. No matter how many setbacks he’s endured over the years, he’s always bounced back with a vengeance. And now, according to The Sun, he’s on the road to a net worth of a billion dollars. The outlet revealed that Floyd Mayweather has stakes in the recently-constructed One Vanderbilt in the heart of New York City. Considered one of the tallest commercial buildings in North America, One Vanderbilt is the fourth-tallest building in New York City (behind One World Trade Center, Central Park Tower, and 111 West 57th Street). It opened in September 2020 and cost more than $3 billion to construct. And this move is just the latest in a series of smart money moves that the retired boxer has made since he hung up his gloves back in 2017. He’s considered one of the richest Black athletes in the world and also reportedly “the richest boxer of all time” (based on his $450 million net worth, according to Celebrity...
