The world's most paid celebrity for 2015 is Floyd Mayweather, an American professional boxer, widely recognized as the very best boxer of his generation, and amongst the all time greatest fighters to ever live ::: Floyd Mayweather might have just had the least surprising $300 million payday of all time. His total—the highest annual sum ever for an athlete—mostly comes from his May 2 victory over Manny Pacquiao, who took home $160 million on the year. Their bout spawned a record 4.4 million Pay-Per-View buys and copious media coverage from Mayweather’s Las Vegas home turf to Pacquiao’s native Philippines.
