There’s money, and then there’s Mayweather money. Floyd Mayweather, the undefeated Welterweight champion of the world, has continued his domi- nance in boxing this year, defeating Manny Pacquiao in one of the biggest fights in history, en route to what amounted to a $190 million haul, including pay-per-view totals and sponsorships. From June 1 of 2014 to June 1 of 2015, Mayweather brought in a ridiculous $300 million, making him the highest paid athlete during that span, and the highest paid athlete of 2015. No one is the master of their domain like Money Mayweather, and his eye-popping dominance has helped him leap over bonafide Hip-Hop moguls for 2015. He’s a champion of both the sport and the culture.
UPDATE: Floyd, excited about his placement this year, had this to say about being #2 in the 18th Annual Power 30 issue.
