Floyd Mayweather Shares Instagram Photo Of $100M Check From 2015 Manny Pacquiao Fight

On Tuesday, the legendary boxer shared a photo on Instagram of a $100 million check from his record-setting May 2015 fight against Manny Pacquiao.

Mayweather’s total earnings from that fight ended up being around $250 million.

Gotta love these backseat drivers so worried about another man's legacy instead of trying to write their own. Ultimately, I will always have the last laugh. This is just one of my many checks, a cool $100,000,000.00 that I still have every dime of. Y'all still have to work however, I'm happily retired. At the end of the day, it's them Benjamin Franklins that matter to me, so the jokes on you. I've made smart investments, sorry for those who thought that I couldn't read, write, or count. Y'all call them watches, I call them time pieces. Y'all call them boats, I call them yachts. Y'all call them houses, I call them mansions. Y'all charter jets and we own jets. #TMT

After that fight with Pacquiao, Mayweather defeated Andre Berto four months later and retired at 49-0.

Rumors have been circulating in the last few weeks involving Mayweather returning to the ring to fight. Nothing has officially been set, but among those who have challenged him to a bout is UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor, who recently acquired a boxing license from the state of California, in an attempt to switch over to the sport from MMA.

Nevertheless, UFC president Dana White recently stated that he doubts a Mayweather-McGregor matchup is likely.

White cited first and foremost, the dangerous nature of pitting an undefeated veteran up against a boxing debutant.

“It’s fun to talk about this fight and what might happen, but what commission would let that fight happen?” White said via Yahoo Sports.

“Really, think about that. I have no idea what Conor is doing. Conor’s Conor. He does his thing. But he’s under contract to me.”

“Gotta love these backseat drivers so worried about another man’s legacy instead of trying to write their own,” Mayweather posted in response to the rumors about his return to the ring. “Ultimately, I will always have the last laugh. This is just one of my many checks, a cool $100,000,000.00 that I still have every dime of.”

The May 2015 Pacquiao-Mayweather fight generated a record 4.6 million pay-per-view buys and brought in over $600 million in revenue.

“Y’all still have to work however, I’m happily retired,” Mayweather wrote in the caption of the check photo. “At the end of the day, it’s them Benjamin Franklins that matter to me, so the jokes on you. I’ve made smart investments, sorry for those who thought that I couldn’t read, write, or count. Y’all call them watches, I call them time pieces. Y’all call them boats, I call them yachts. Y’all call them houses, I call them mansions. Y’all charter jets and we own jets.”
