He earned $35 million for his two fights against Joshua Clottey and Miguel Cotto. Pacquiao is included in Forbes’ list of Highest Paid Athletes from the second half of 2009 to the first half of 2010; he is ranked 8th with an income of $42 million.
Currently, however, he has gone even further beyond that thanks to his newly acquired fame (even more so than before) following his clash with Floyd Mayweather. He now possesses a net worth of over $190 million.
