Indeed, in the past, Mayweather has hardly held back with sharing his incredible fight earnings.
People are suffering and so sensitive these days...So humble yourself Floyd. Well done!
Floyd Mayweather is not usually so shy with ostentatious displays of wealth, so it was a surprise for the undefeated champ to only tease reporters with a quick glimpse of his $100 million check on Saturday night
Suddenly coy, 'Money' Mayweather, 38, flashed a peek of the mega payday he received for his fight with Manny Pacquiao, but refused to allow its picture to be taken.
In August, the five-division world champion posted his check from his September 2013 fight against Saul Alvarez, for which he earned $40,870,000 and his May, 2014 payday of $31,406,000 for beating Marcos Maidana.
But speaking to a reporter from the Associated Press last night after the fight, Mayweather slipped the proof of his enormous payday out of an envelope to show off, but held back.
But he added 'No pictures, though - don't want any pictures of it' before the symbol of his ever-expanding wealth could be immortalized.
Mayweather, thrashed Manny Pacquiao in front of a 16,500-strong crowd in Las Vegas's MGM Grand Hotel last night in the most money-soaked sporting event of all time - and is bringing home a substantial slice of the takings himself.
In fact, the $100million payout is far from all he will receive from the fight - he could make as much as $200million total after pay-per-view revenues are tallied up in the coming days.
The fighter was on ebullient form last night after the much-anticipated bout, despite commentators and fans deeming is a 'boring' display of technical superiority.
He declared declared 'I'm the American dream' in light of his 48th consecutive win, and took the chance to compare himself to Muhammad Ali - as well as slam those who had imagined the Pacquiao fight in terms of good (Pacquiao) vs evil (Mayweather).
He said: 'I didn't really appreciate people calling this God versus the devil. He's done a lot of bad in his life, nobody is perfect. Manny has made mistakes, just like me.'
He is humbled. Floyd was too mouthy about his wealth, we really dont want to know how many cars and houses you have'mostly when you dont help the suffering people around you.
