Mayweather has been named as Forbes' Highest-Paid Ahtlete of 2014. His net worth is $105 million. Mayweather is the first athlete, aside from Tiger Woods, to surpass the $100 million earnings threshold. Losing $20,000 or even $100,000 is of less importance to Mayweather. It would be like losing a few bucks for an ordinary person.
