It’s no secret that Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are two of championship fighting’s biggest personalities. Each prizefighter may have earned his stripes in different arenas – professional boxing for Mayweather and MMA for McGregor – but the two nevertheless came together in 2017 for what was dubbed “the biggest fight in the history of combat sports”.

Equipped with talent, fame and fortune, both fighters continue to make their mark leading lives of luxury and adventure. While Mayweather ultimately defeated McGregor in a 10th round technical knockout, both personalities left the ring with more wealth and notoriety than ever before. The big question is: who’s leading the more fabulous life?

The fabulous Floyd Mayweather

Mayweather, a 42-year-old American, is fabulous where it matters most: in the bank. While reportedly worth roughly US$560 million, Mayweather may have generated even more than that, given that he is also estimated to have earned a billion dollars over his career. In 2018 alone, thanks to his headline-grabbing bout with McGregor, Mayweather was the year’s highest-paid athlete in the world.

Mayweather’s many millions have found their ways into many ostentatious displays. Among his multiple residences is a gaudy 22,000-square-foot (2,044-square-metre) custom-built Las Vegas mansion. He also owns an extravagant Beverly Hills home with its own confectionery shop and a 12-seat cinema.

His sprawling properties boast plenty of wardrobe and driveway space, which the champion has taken full advantage of with countless luxury goods. Mayweather is known to sport high-end fashions from Christian Louboutin, Louis Vuitton and Prada at home, in the gym, and everywhere in between. And when driving to and from these and other locales, Mayweather can choose from US$15 million worth of luxury vehicles, including an Aston Martin One-77, a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, three Bugattis and four Ferraris.
