Floyd Mayweather Jr. emerged as boxing's undefeated champion when he beat crowd favorite Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Because of the popularity of this megafight among boxing fans all over the world, an additional $100M earnings made Mayweather's net worth jump from $280M to $380M, not counting other income sources from the fight, as stated on Celebrity Net Worth. The 38-year-old undefeated boxing champion, with a current 48-0 win-loss record, must have everything going well for him right now, that an additional asset under his equally massive real estate portfolio would agree.
Just recently, even before entering the battle ring on Saturday, "The Money" scored a Las Vegas Strip pad worth $1.81M, reports Los Angeles Times. Located on the highest floor, the unit reportedly offers crystal-clear view of the cityscape and the surrounding valley. The penthouse unit covering more than 3100 sq.ft. of living space includes two bedrooms and 2.5 baths, says the news site. Mayweather's penthouse comes with a game room equipped with billiards, a cook's kitchen, and a spectacular infinity-edge spa to relax him right after his fight, LA Times adds.
Other amenities of the new Mayweather home are spanning glass panels, custom lights, telescoping glass wall between the living room and the game room, hardwood floors and wooden walls, notes the column. The master suite reportedly features a comfortable sitting area, a fireplace and a spacious tub.
The Vegas Strip pad had been sold in 2014 for $1,065,000, notes the outlet, citing property records.
Aside from this, Mayweather also has a 22,000-square-foot "Big Boy Mansion," a spot in Sunny Isles, Florida, and another residence at Los Angeles, informs the site.

The judges voted unanimously and declared Mayweather as the clear champion. Here is the official score card which David Kull of ESPN posted on his Twitter account.
Thus, the confident and victorious Mayweather stood proud, despite being booed by the crowd at the arena after he was announced the winner of the 12 round-showdown. The decision cemented that Mayweather's genius technique of gaining points through a defensive play over Pacman's aggressive fighter style gameplay was the winning tactic in the event that was five years in the making.
Pacquiao was obviously dumbfounded by the results, thinking he was the winner. In the after-fight conference, it was revealed that allegedly, the People's champ was suffering from a shoulder injury before entering the ring, which may have prevented him to give his best.
Do we smell a rematch? With Mayweather's win-loss record of 48-0, just another more win to share the 49-0 win-loss boxing record of Rocky Marciano, and his smart gameplay, would he take his chance on winning a back-to-back win over a rejuvenated Pacman or would he choose another opponent to get him his next win? Your answer is as good as mine.
