Floyd Mayweather Becomes The Highest Paid Athlete In The World Without Endorsing Anything

Superstar boxer Floyd Mayweather has been in the Forbes list of Highest Paid Athlete for two years now. He topped the list this year, too, with $105 million as his earnings.

Surprisingly, this American boxer is also nicknamed ‘Money’. The amazing thing about his money-making ability is that Mayweather doesn’t earn a penny through endorsements.

Yes, you read it right.

The boxer, who made $34 million as per the Forbes list of 2013, did a high jump this year. He earned almost thrice of his last-year earnings. And still, every dime, penny, and nickel of this money has come through boxing.

Now, the question that comes to mind is, how much more money he can make if he ever decides to go for endorsing big brands, the way his counterparts do?

While his other boxers like Manny Pacquiao and Vladimir Klitscho’s yearly income is close to $8 million and $5 million, respectively. Mayweather has kept himself away from endorsing.

Apparently, he won’t be endorsing a brand of apparels because he has one of his own. This steers him away from one of the most lucrative endorsements, but he doesn’t seem to twitch a bit about it.

With $105 million in his kitty, and many more fights to be played in his career, Mayweather surely won’t care of spending his self-earned star status on endorsing any brand as he himself is no less than one.
