What are Floyd Mayweather's sources of income?
Largely thanks to his success in the boxing ring, Mayweather is the fifth highest-paid athlete ever, having surpassed the billion-dollar mark in career revenues.

He amassed over half a billion dollars from just two fights, with $250 million for his showdown with Manny Pacquiao and $300 million for taking on Conor McGregor.
Endorsement deals
In his prime, Mayweather consistently held the title of the world's highest-paid athlete, far surpassing his peers, even with relatively few endorsement deals. He effortlessly raked in annual earnings ranging from $150 million to a staggering $300 million when he stepped into the ring. But he does typically generate an additional $10 million annually from endorsements and various investments. Mayweather has also accumulated roughly $25 million through merchandise sales.
