In a moment that perfectly captures the down-to-earth nature of one of boxing’s greatest champions, Floyd Mayweather was spotted at McDonald’s ordering a hearty breakfast immediately following his highly lucrative exhibition against Canelo Alvarez.
After reportedly earning a staggering $120 million for his performance, Mayweather’s first priority wasn’t a lavish meal at a five-star restaurant – it was satisfying his hunger with some classic McDonald’s breakfast items.
“I need two sausage McMuffin. I need two regular ones and two without meat. So it’s a total of six – four with the meat, two without meat,” Mayweather was heard saying at the counter. “And eight hash browns.”
When asked if this was his first meal after the big event, Mayweather clarified, “Hey, the fat burger,” suggesting he may have already indulged in another fast food option prior to his McDonald’s visit.
The video of the boxing superstar’s humble food choice quickly went viral on social media, with fans expressing amusement and admiration at his unpretentious taste despite his enormous payday.
“Dude had that order chambered from the moment the bell rang,” one Twitter user commented, suggesting Mayweather had been thinking about his McDonald’s meal throughout his performance.
The contrast between Mayweather’s extraordinary earnings and his modest meal choice resonated with fans. Sports analysts note that this kind of relatable behavior has always been part of Mayweather’s appeal outside the ring, despite his often flashy persona and well-documented wealth.
Representatives for Mayweather have not officially confirmed the exact earnings figure from the exhibition, but industry insiders stand by the $120 million estimate, making it one of the most profitable nights in sports entertainment history.
Whether it’s diamond-encrusted watches or sausage McMuffins, Floyd “Money” Mayweather continues to live life on his own terms – proving that sometimes even the world’s highest-paid athletes just want the simple comforts of fast food after a big night.
