Floyd Mayweather
Recently retired boxer, Floyd Mayweather, has earned over $800,000,000 during his career (pre-tax, of course). Those are remarkable numbers, especially for a man who came from poverty. 19-years of boxing and winning everything in the sport led to Mayweather amassing a fortune. In a recent press conference, Mayweather, who is undefeated with a record of 49-0, discussed his career and hopes for the future.
Mayweather stated, "My 49-0 record is a part of boxing. Records are made to be broken. Hopefully someday we can find the next Floyd Mayweather. Now it's time to spend time with my family and children; make sure they get the proper education." Indeed, the Judiciary Report previously wrote that Mayweather needs to establish trust funds for his children and require they get jobs in their mid-teens to learn and understand the value of money and hard work.
Mayweather Promotions is the pugilist's boxing promotions company. The company has signed a number of boxers they believe will do well in the sport. Mayweather, is one of a few in the sport that understands the secrets if boxing (and there is a science to the sweet science, as it is called). It remains to be seen if he will share those secrets with the next generation of stars.
