Mayweather takes his $100 million check and runs (The Associated Press)
The check was for $100 million, a payday so mind boggling that Floyd Mayweather Jr. couldn’t help but show it to a few reporters when the night was done. ”No pictures, though,” Mayweather said, sliding the check out of an envelope. ”Don’t want any pictures of it.” The check will soon be cashed, adding to the millions Mayweather already has stashed in his bank accounts. He did what he usually does Saturday night against Manny Pacquiao in a win that cemented his legacy as the best of his generation, even if he didn’t win any new fans doing it.
