Floyd Mayweather has topped Forbes’ list of highest-paid athletes for 2015 with a record $300m (£194m).

The welterweight boxer had already earned $420m entering 2015 but it was his fight with Manny Pacquiao in May that boosted income for the self-styled Money Man.

According to Forbes, Mayweather was paid $100m on the night, but that was boosted by pay-per-view figures (4.4m), gate money ($73m) and sponsorships ($13m). The fight is likely to gross $600m with the fighters and their promotions companies splitting $400, 60% which will go to Mayweather.

With the earnings calculations running from 1 June 2014 to 1 June 1 2015, Mayweather’s fight against Marcos Maidana in September is also factored in , bringing his income to $285m over the last 12 months in the ring. Deals with Hublot, FanDuel and Burger King added $15m to that figure.

Unsurprisingly, Pacquiao also benefited from the big fight to stand second in the earnings list with $160m.
