Floyd Mayweather NBA

Floyd Mayweather is inarguably one of the greatest boxers to grace the squared ring. The American star hails an undefeated professional boxing record under his name. Apart from that, he has several other records in the sport as well.

However, besides boxing, people can learn the skill of investing from the retired star. ‘TBE’ has made multiple smart investments during his prime, including boxing promotion, real estate, casino, and more.

He is now reaping the rewards of those investments since he retired from professional boxing. Currently, ‘Money’ is thinking about growing his business and exploring the NBA dimensions. But it appears that he has been reminded of his limits before that.

Fans remind Floyd Mayweather of his net worth ahead of his desire to buy an NBA team

Aside from boxing, Mayweather also enjoys basketball. He frequently appears at major NBA events. The retired professional boxer is now taking his love of the game to the next level by trying to purchase his own NBA club, as stated by him in a recent interview.

For that, ‘TBE’ is willing to spend a whopping $2 billion. However, it seems a bit far-fetched as, according to many reports on the internet, Mayweather has a net worth of $450 million. Many fans pointed out the same in the comment section of a Twitter post and also mocked the retired boxer.

Check out the comments from fans below:

Mayweather is making lucrative money in exhibition matches

Although Mayweather has retired from professional boxing, the American boxer has found a new route to bank millions with his ring skills. After retirement, ‘TBE’ regularly participates in exhibition boxing matches.

Akin to his professional record, ‘Money’ has managed to remain undefeated in his exhibition fights. Mayweather has made an estimated of over $200 million alone from his exhibitions bouts so far, per reports. Hence, although he has a certain figure of net worth on the internet, ‘TBE’ might be earning more than that to even make such a claim.

Do you guys think Mayweather can buy an NBA team?
