BOXING legend Floyd Mayweather has yet again declared himself the best fighter ever – as he revealed he’s earned over $1BILLION from his fights.
The 44-year-old even stated he earned nearly £500m from his bouts against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor.
And the American has predicted he could rake in around £72m when he faces Logan Paul in an exhibition bout on June 6.
Mayweather has defended his dust-up against the YouTuber when appearing on the Millon Dollaz Worth of Game podcast.
He said: “I would [rather] have the currency than the legacy, my legacy is already engraved in stone.
“They say, ‘Mayweather’s doing exhibitions, it’s bad for boxing.’
“At the end of the day, my mother’s a millionaire, my dad’s a millionaire, my children are millionaires.
“My little [five-month-old] grandson is a multi-millionaire and he don’t even know it.”
Commenting on whether he is a billionaire, the 1996 Olympic bronze medallist remarked: “I’ve made a billion.
“I’ve reached that four years ago. [Now I’m] over $1.2billion [£864m]. I knew from the beginning I was the best in boxing, from day one.

🥊 MAYWEATHER VS LOGAN PAUL: Where will the fight take place, what TV channel and live stream will it be on?
“I just knew I was better than every other fighter. There will never be a fighter better than me, never.
“Tell me another fighter that beat 16 world champions straight? Tell me another fighter that, in just two fights, made $650m [£468m]?
“For Pacquiao I made $300m [£216m], for McGregor I made $350m [£252m].”
Before adding: “My health is my wealth… No amount of money is worth my health, no amount of money.
“But I’m still a smart business man. Now [if] we talk about a Logan Paul, a YouTuber, for $100m [£72m]? Give me that.”
Mayweather started his training camp for his bout to face Paul last week, while also showing off his diamond-encrusted jewellery.
