The Decline In Numbers Of American Heavyweight Boxers


Muhammad Ali

America is famous for producing some of the top heavyweight boxers of all time, such as Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier, Jack Dempsey, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes. However, over the last decade, the numbers have drastically fallen. The question is why. 

      

Mike Tyson

The heavyweight weight division is usually the most popular among fans. However, lightweight boxing champ, Floyd Mayweather, has arguably become the most famous active pugilist in America. His Money Team collective have garnered a significant amount of popularity on social networking. Mayweather‘s personal life has also made him a topic of discussion for bloggers.


Deontay Wilder

Currently, Alabama’s Deontay Wilder and Pennsylvania’s Bryant Jennings are the top two heavyweight prospects in America. Wilder is a big, intimidating power puncher with a perfect record that will be put on the line this month against the first Haitian born Canadian heavyweight champion, Bermane Stiverne. Jennings is a fluid, well rounded boxer, who has racked up many wins as well and is set to face the heavyweight champion of the world, Wladimir Klitschko, in April 2015.

Floyd Mayweather Could Lose A Fortune On His 8 Girlfriends And Here's Why


Canelo Alvarez and Floyd Mayweather

This week the angry mother of boxer Floyd Mayweather's children, Josie Harris, came forward slamming one of his girlfriends, Shantel Jackson. Based on accounts, she is his ex-fiancée, but that has stopped her from lingering and trying to get him back. Jackson went to the Mayweather v. Canelo fight wearing a custom made gown that was a knock off of the $800 dress Harris had made for her 10-year-old daughter with Mayweather. That was wrong of Jackson and a provocation.

Harris hit Jackson with the news that Mayweather has 8, count'em, 8 girlfriends. Oh boy! This bit of news is a bit alarming, but not surprising. Number one, it's unethical (what does he need with 8 vaginas when he's got one penis). Secondly, it could chew up chunks of his fortune. Let's be blunt, many women see Mayweather as a meal ticket. It's sad, but true.

They're just waiting to get knocked up and hit him with massive child support demands. With the way the courts calculate monthly child support payments, they will look at Mayweather's income and fortune, estimated to be between $250,000,000 to $350,000,000 and set the figure based on that, giving them the maximum amount per child.

Multiply that figure by several women and once again per child and Mayweather would be looking at $100,000 - $200,000 per month in payments. They'll all want lavish homes as well, which will cost millions. Additionally, Mayweather could be hit with costly palimony suits, as a couple of his girlfriends have lived in sin with him (without the benefit of marriage).


Shantel Jackson with the ring Mayweather gave her before breaking off the engagement. He reportedly caught her cheating with a man in Atlanta. Mayweather then took back the expensive gifts he bought her.

I have a question for Mayweather, how many of these women actually love you for who you are and not what you have and because you're famous. All I see online is you spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on different women, buying them jewels, designer clothes and cars.


Shantel Jackson and Floyd Mayweather

You're being taken in. I could understand if you were buying your mom these gifts (and to my understanding you have as well) but chicks you've just met trying to get rich off you. Really, Floyd. It's not a good idea. One day you will look back and regret all that wasted money on women who do not love you.

Don't think you're invincible. As humans none of us are invincible. Legendary boxer Mike Tyson used to have $200,000,000 but went bankrupt at one point from being ripped off and having too many financial commitments (some similar to those you currently hold).

Another boxing legend, Evander Holyfield, lost huge sums of money, due to inflated child support payments and went into financial distress. Football player Terrell Owens is another example, with a huge chunk of his money gone to child support payments, which helped to bankrupt him. Mayweather needs to learn from the difficulties they went through.
