With $1.2 Billion Earnings, World’s Richest Boxer Floyd Mayweather Contemplates If He’d Have Taken a Different Career Path

His remarkable defense thanks to his head movement and footwork, left the boxing experts dumbfounded. He has also previously claimed that he has earned over $1.2 billion over the course of his career.

However, he didn’t reach such heights all on his own, after all, he had the support of his uncle Roger Mayweather, and his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. Both brothers were former professional boxers and some would say that his fate in the sport was already pre-determined. He began his career with his father and he learned and upgraded his father’s famous shoulder roll’. So the question arises, without the influence of these two, what route would the former champion have taken? Here’s how the legend answered the question.

According to Mayweather, it is important for one to keep their attention on their goals at all times. He urged to “believe first”. before investing time in any endevour. He claimed that this is something that he has always relied upon.

Michael Jai White reveals Mayweather’s toughest fight

Mayweather battled against some of the best opponents. Oscar De La Hoya, Canelo Alvarez, Manny Pacquiao, and Conor McGregor are only some of the names on the list. However, Michael Jai White thinks that none of these fighters gave him as much trouble as Shane Mosely. White discussed the great career Mayweather had and how dominant the boxer was in the ring. Ultimately, he came out the victor in all his battles and remained undefeated.

White stated, “I would say the worst would be, um, Shane [Mosley]. Yeah, Shane stung him, okay. Pretty bad. That was the worst I’ve seen Floyd. But even with that, he didn’t come out of it a bloody mess. No, he turned around and beat the hell out of Shane”.

White addressed the 2010 bout between Mayweather and Mosley. The aforementioned situation took place after Mosely landed two powerful shots at Mayweather which almost had him on his knees. However, Mayweather kept fighting back and achieved victory as well. Recently, the boxing legend revealed what he said to Mosley when this happened.
