Floyd Mayweather has revealed that he paid a whopping $18million (£14.3million) in tax this year.
On Thursday, the retired 50-0 boxing legend took to social media to tell everyone his plans for the Super Bowl in Las Vegas this weekend, which is live on talkSPORT.

Mayweather, who lives in the city, divulged that he has spent $1.1million (£870,000) paying for 34 friends to watch the game with him on Sunday at the Allegiant Stadium where tickets for suites and in the Wynn Field Club are selling for staggering amounts.
In his first post, Mayweather said: “I don’t kiss ass and I never have to beg for nothing especially not to get a Super Bowl suite.
“I don’t mind accepting invites at times, but one thing’s for sure… the person that’s paying does all the saying.
“Therefore I get my own seats and suites so I can do what I want and invite who I want!
“I’m blessed to be taking 34 people to experience the first Super Bowl in Las Vegas! $1,131,000.00.”
After this, Mayweather went on to reveal the $1.1million (£870,000) was nothing to him, as he paid $18million (£14.3million) in tax earlier in the day.
At the height of his career, the boxing icon was making hundreds of millions of dollars from single fights against the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor.
Back then, his tax bill would have been far bigger than it is now.

However, in retirement Mayweather is still making money.
He runs several businesses, owns a number of properties and still competes in exhibition bouts around the world.
As a result, he posted: “Just before I paid that light million and change for that little Super Bowl stuff, I had to pay the IRS aka Uncle Sam $18,047,181.
“This is what I owed in taxes while I’m retired so just imagine what I was paying when I was active.”
On Sunday, though, maybe he’ll back the Chiefs having bet on the Eagles to beat Patrick Mahomes and co. in the 2023 Super Bowl and lost big.
