00:00 The Rich Rabbit
00:07 It won't be wrong if we say Floyd Mayweather brought back the colors
00:15 boxing was lacking for two decades. Soccer and tennis took over boxing
00:21 after heavyweights disappeared but Floyd brought back
00:25 the charm. His trash talk, gold chains
00:28 and show-off skills somehow managed to bring back fame
00:32 and attention back to boxing ring. People started seeing press conferences
00:37 face-offs and of course the matches too.
00:40 Now things weren't like this in his childhood
00:45 as he was born to a dysfunctional family.
00:48 His grandmother was the first to notice his boxing skills
00:53 and when Mayweather sought to find a job his grandmother encouraged him to
00:57 develop
00:58 his boxing skills. With the help of his father who he spent little time with
01:03 and some of his uncles, Mayweather trained well enough
01:06 to begin his amateur career. Mayweather's
01:10 amateur career was the genesis of his boxing career success.
01:14 During that early phase he developed his skills so well
01:18 that he soon understood the dynamics of his style of boxing.
01:22 One of such was the defensive boxing techniques he adopted
01:26 following his uncle's training.
01:30 And that earned him his pretty boy Monica.
01:33 He fought in 92 matches throughout his amateur career
01:37 and tasted defeat just eight times. Among the notable championships
01:42 young Mayweather won are 1993, 94
01:46 and 96 National Golden Gloves Championship
01:49 as well as the bronze at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
01:53 Though his
02:00 early years were marred by rifts with his father which involved him
02:04 firing him as his trainer, Mayweather remained focused
02:07 recording successive wins until he landed his first title victory
02:11 in 1998, the WBC Super Featherweight title.
02:16 That win garnered a lot of praise for the star
02:19 but he continued to defend his title holding on to the belt
02:23 for three more years until he decided his exploits in the Super Featherweight
02:29 division
02:30 was up. He quickly proceeded to the lightweight division
02:34 where he went on to become the ring and WBC
02:38 linear lightweight champion. He soon left the lightweight division
02:43 and went on to fight in the light welterweight division.
02:46 Mayweather was on course to win another title in this division
02:51 but he left as the top contender for the light
02:54 welterweight title. In April 2006
02:59 after he defeated Zab Judah he became
03:03 the IBF welterweight champion. Mayweather earned five million dollars from the
03:08 bout.
03:08 His eyes were thus set on other titles in the division
03:12 and months later his dream materialized with him defeating
03:16 Carlos Baldo Mir to emerge as the ring
03:19 and WBC welterweight champion, marking his
03:22 third lineal championship win in three divisions
03:26 namely Super Featherweight, Lightweight
03:29 and Welterweight. He received eight million dollars for his win
03:33 but this is not it. After his success
03:37 in the welterweight division, Mayweather went on to the light middleweight
03:41 division
03:42 where he claimed the WBC title before returning to the welterweight division
03:47 after giving up his light middleweight championship.
03:52 He won his welterweight championship again and went on to win the light
03:56 welterweight championship which he hadn't won
04:00 earlier. He then went on to retire in 2007.
04:06 In May 2009 Mayweather returned from retirement to fight Juan Manuel Marquez
04:12 who was the ring lightweight champion.
04:16 After triumphing over Manuel, a fight which saw him earn 25 million dollars,
04:21 he fought one more time before he announced
04:24 he's out to gain more titles.
04:28 Mayweather continued his stellar form winning all his fights
04:32 but without claiming a title. In 2013
04:36 he defeated Saul Alvarez to win the WBC
04:39 and the ring welterweight championship and went on to unify the title
04:43 with his WBA super welterweight win.
04:46 His fight with Alvarez earned him a mind-blowing 73 million dollars.
04:53 After years of negotiations in 2015
04:57 he finally fought against the Filipino boxing sensation
05:01 Manny Pacquiao and defeated him.
05:06 His fight with Manny earned him the biggest paycheck in his career
05:10 250 million dollars.
05:14 Following his highly publicized fight against Pacquiao
05:17 he went on to defend his WBC, WBA
05:21 and the ring welterweight championships before he finally retired
05:25 for the second time in his career.
05:29 Third time's the charm as they say and he came out of retirement yet again
05:33 for a massive fight against the UFC legend Conor McGregor.
05:37 The fight was held in August 2017
05:42 with Mayweather turning up on top. His bout with McGregor
05:46 ranks as the second most profitable fight of his career
05:49 as he earned 100 million dollars.
05:54 His next fight came in December 2018 against Tenshin Nasukawa
05:59 who lasted only one round against Mayweather.
06:02 The fight which ended in just two minutes saw Mayweather part with 88 million dollars.
06:08 In 2020 Floyd Mayweather's net worth is estimated to be around 565 million dollars
06:16 which ranks him as the richest boxer in the world right now.
06:20 Most of his fortune is indirectly related to his boxing career
06:25 where he has earned over 1 billion dollars
06:28 thanks to his massive pay-per-view bouts which have attracted thousands of viewers.
06:33 His boxing promotions company Mayweather Promotions
06:38 which he founded in 2006 is also a lucrative business venture
06:43 which has greatly boosted his total net worth.
06:49 Floyd Mayweather topped the list of the highest paid
06:52 athletes of the decade with his estimated earnings of 915 million dollars
06:57 within the last decade.
07:00 Floyd Mayweather's career earnings are thus estimated to be above 1 billion dollars
07:06 going by some of the posted earnings for his boxing matches throughout his career.
07:12 Known for his extravagant lifestyle, Mayweather doesn't shy away from flaunting his massive wealth.
07:19 He owns a mansion in Los Angeles worth about 25 million dollars.
07:24 The mansion is said to have a 12-seat cinema and a vine rack which can accommodate
07:29 as much as 225 bottles for his star-studded house parties.
07:36 Mayweather's watch collection is valued well over 18 million dollars.
07:41 In 2018, he purchased an 18 million billionaire watch by Jacob & Co.
07:49 The billionaire diamond tourbillon is truly an epitome of a high-end watch.
07:55 For a man like Mayweather Jr. with a net worth valued well over 500 million dollars,
08:01 a luxury wristwatch is a fashion accessory.
08:06 Floyd Mayweather's car collection which is worth about 20 million pounds
08:10 includes a Bugatti Chiron, four Bugatti Veyrons,
08:14 a Lamborghini Aventador and a Ferrari 488.
08:20 He also owns a Mercedes G63 AMG and a set of Rolls Royce cars worth about 2 million pounds.
08:28 Mayweather favors his cars being black and white except his Bugatti Veyron
08:34 which have a red and silver color.
08:37 Floyd Mayweather is also a proud owner of two private jets,
08:42 one of which is a Gulfstream G650 valued at 60 million dollars.
08:48 Owning a private jet is more or less like a walk in the park for the money guy.
08:53 Nothing says you are super duper rich unless you own a private jet.
09:00 Mayweather is also an avid gambler.
09:03 He once bet over 1 million dollars on a college football game.
09:07 This gambling habit isn't just about sports either
09:11 as he just likes to gamble in general.
09:14 Of course, like many people, Mayweather loves to travel
09:17 and he spends a lot of money on his living situation.
09:21 The fighter has several multi-million dollar homes.
09:24 If you think that's all, you are absolutely wrong my friend.
09:30 Mayweather loves his music so much so that he splashed 50,000 dollars
09:36 on this bejeweled iPod case back in 2010.
09:40 It even had a chain in case he lost it.
09:44 Not that he couldn't afford another one.
09:47 Designed by Jacob Enco, the 280 carat diamond watch,
09:50 the billionaire is the only watch of its kind in the world
09:54 and is made up of 165 different components.
10:00 No Playboy mansion is ever complete without a home cinema.
10:04 But Mayweather took it to the next level at his 25 million L.A. mansion
10:09 adding in a self-serve candy shop.
10:12 A shop that would even put 50 cent to shame.
10:16 Mayweather paid over 600,000 dollars to have his friends ringside
10:21 at the MGM Grand Las Vegas when he beat Canelo Alvarez in September 2013.
10:29 But this is just a small sum for the man considering his purse for the fight
10:33 was 41.5 million dollars.
10:37 Purchased in 2015, Mayweather's Koenigsegg CCXR Tervera
10:42 is one of only two of its kind in the world
10:45 and boasts a top speed of over 409 kilometers per hour
10:51 which is 254 miles per hour for you lovely Americans out there.
10:57 Rather than wash his underwear like a normal person,
11:01 Mayweather wears a new pair every single time he changes
11:05 which is estimated to cost him around 6500 dollars per year according to the richest.
11:12 He does the same with sneakers, wearing them only once before disposing of them.
11:17 Kuyana Jeffries, Mayweather's personal chef, must cook some really good food
11:23 as according to Esquire, he pays her 1000 dollars per meal.
11:28 He's also said to keep her on retainer 24 hours a day.
11:33 Mayweather's barber, Jackie Starr, can't be half bad either
11:37 as he pays the same amount for a haircut as he does a meal.
11:43 Last year, TMZ reported that Mayweather spent 5.3 million dollars on jewelry alone
11:50 during a lavish spending spree at Peter Marco in Beverly Hills.
11:54 His purchases included a 2.3 million VVS ring,
11:59 a 2.5 million diamond bracelet and a 2 pound yellow gold Cuban necklace.
12:07 The money and riches have always flowed freely for Mayweather,
12:11 so freely that he changed his name from Pretty Boy to money for his boxing bouts
12:17 and it's plain to see why.
12:20 A pure rags to riches story reminds me of a quote from Walt Disney,
12:25 "If you can dream, you can do it."
12:29 That's what happened in Floyd's story.
12:33 From being alone even in the presence of his parents,
12:36 to filling out arenas and becoming the best boxer in the history of the sport,
12:41 Floyd Mayweather has been an inspiration for everyone.
