Floyd Mayweather has been a PPV star all his life and is now passing the torch to his pupil Gervonta Davis, who will defend his WBA lightweight belt against Isaac Cruz tonight. After becoming a PPV stakeholder, ‘Tank’ has come across big financial success and can envision seeing a similar feature in his next fight. However, a lot of it will depend on the pay-per-view revenue. Gervonta Davis will receive a $1 million guaranteed payout from the fight, per reports [https://dknation.draftkings.com/2021/12/5/22816487/gervonta-davis-vs-isaac-cruz-money-purse-joseph-how-much-are-they-getting-paid-salaries-ppv-prize]. He will also bag 60% of the PPV share that can double up his total income. However, the numbers can change if we see a fall in the PP buys. Well, Mayweather has already sent a clear message to the illegal streamers, with an intent to raise the pay-per-view status for ‘Tank’. ‘TBE’ Mayweather [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/floyd-mayweather/] posted Davis’ picture on his social media feed with the statement written, “People risk their life to entertain you and you are stealing the fight? You are willing to pay for designer things. But you are not willing to pay for the fight? When you steal the fight you are stealing from the fighters. A large portion of the fighter’s pay comes from pay-per-view purchases. To get the pay-per-view level, it takes a lot of work. Do what’s right. Support the fighters as you support your friends and family.” As we stand close to the end of 2021, ‘Tank’ vs ‘Pitbull’ can craft the lightweight journey for 2022. Both the elite fighters are ready to put on their best versions at sight, paving the way for an intriguing collision. Here’s how you can watch it live.

Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, girlfriend and more Who is Floyd Mayweather? Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a retired American boxer who commenced his professional journey in 1996, soon after winning a Bronze medal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. In a two-decade-long career that ended in 2017, besides remaining undefeated, Mayweather Jr. emerged as the dominant money-spinning boxer of the era. Floyd Mayweather in action against Aaron Chalmers (not pictured) during their exhibition fight at The O2, London. Picture date: Saturday February 25, 2023. (Photo by Zac Goodwin/PA Images via Getty Images) He secured 15 major world titles in his long and illustrious career. Even though he has retired from professional boxing, Mayweather continues to dazzle fans with his impeccable boxing skills in exhibition fights. Apart from that, Mayweather, using his shrewd business acumen, continues to make investments in a variety of profitable ventures as he continues to be the &#8220;richest boxer in the world&#8221;. Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s early life Born Floyd Joy Sinclair, records state Floyd Mayweather Jr.&#8217;s date of birth as February 24, 1977.Â  He was born to Floyd Mayweather Senior andÂ  Deborah Sinclair. Floyd&#8217;s mother, Deborah Sinclair, is of Jamaican ancestry. Not much information is available about her details, such as her date of birth, life, etc. But, by and large, she keeps herself away from the limelight that hogs her world-famous son constantly. On the other end, Mayweather Jr. shared a difficult relationship with his father. Senior was involved in training Junior during his budding years. But as a professional, their relations went through on-off phases. Floyd&#8217;s place of birth is Grand Rapids, Michigan. &#8216;Money&#8217; has one half-brother Justin Mayweather Jones, and three sisters Fannie Orr, Deltricia Tawanna Howard, and Fatimah Mayweather.Â  For his schooling, Floyd went to Ottawa Hills High School. But it seems that he didn&#8217;t complete his education, dropping out while in high school. Hailing from a family of boxers, he started learning the ropes of the &#8216;Sweet Science&#8217; at the age of seven, and the rest is history! Roger Mayweather, Floyd&#8217;s uncle, left a lasting impression on the boxing champion. A former world champion, he took up the responsibility of training his nephew in 2000 and remained his trainer till 2012. Sadly &#8216;Black Mamba&#8217; passed away in 2020.Â  Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s wife and children Floyd Mayweather Jr. has four kids: Koraun, Zion, Jirah, and Iyanna. Out of the four, the first three were born to his late ex-girlfriend Josie Harris. While Iyanna was born to Melissia Brim. Mayweather adopted Devion Cromwell, Brim&#8217;s son from an earlier relationship. As of now, he remains unmarried. From 1995 to 2005, he was in a relationship with Josie Harris. Their relationship, most of the time, ran into rough weather. Reportedly, while still in a relationship with Harris, &#8216;Money&#8217; met Melissia Brim. The pair broke up in 2000, a few months after Iyanna&#8217;s birth. It is very difficult to ascertain who he is currently dating. According to the latest reports, he was last seen cozying up to his on-and-off girlfriend Gallienne Nabila at a Clippers game. Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s net worth 2024 Celebrity Net Worth shows Floyd Mayweather Jr.&#8217;s net worth to be around $450 million. The richest fighter in boxing&#8217;s history reportedly made $1.2 billion during his life&#8217;s work in and out of the boxing ring. Whenever the talks about the biggest money-making fights crop up, the top four inevitably end up with Mayweather Jr.&#8217;s bouts. The following details could be referred to understand the stats: Vs. Manny Pacquiao, 2015: The &#8220;Fight of the Century&#8221; resulted in nearly 4.6 million pay-per-view subscriptions. While &#8220;Pacman&#8221; received almost $147 million, &#8220;Money&#8221; netted $250-$300 million. Vs. Conor McGregor, 2017: &#8220;The Money Fight&#8221; fell short of the fight against Pacquiao in terms of PPV purchases (4.3 million). But as far as fighters went, while McGregor&#8217;s paycheck stood around $100 million, Mayweather Jr. bagged nearly $300 million. Vs. Canelo Alvarez, 2013: &#8220;The One&#8221; spinning around $144 million pay-per-view revenue. Then much younger Canelo Alvarez received around $12 million. Mayweather Jr., on the other hand, made roughly $75 million. Vs, Miguel Cotto, Billed as &#8220;Ring Kings&#8221;, the fight generated around 1.5 million pay-per-view buys. Mayweather Jr. made around $45 Million and Cotto made $8 Million.Â  Fights are not the only source of &#8216;Money&#8217;s income. Regarding investments, he made some of his most brilliant moves in the real estate sector. Floyd Mayweather owns as many as nine skyscrapers. One of the most prominent among those, One Vanderbilt, a 93-story tall building in New York, forms a part investment portfolio estimated to be over $150 million. In 2022, reports filtered in of Mayweather Jr. branching out to open a Casino at New York&#8217;s Times Square. It would be another feather in the cap for the former champion, who boasts homes in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Reportedly, he has a $25 million mansion in Beverly Hills. Despite retiring from professional boxing, Mayweather has yet to hang the gloves for good. Since 2018, he has been active in the exhibition circuit.Â  According to Celebrity Net Worth, his first fight against Tensin Nasukawa in December 2018 fetched $9 million. He fought YouTuber Logan Paul three years later, and his purse swelled by $35 million. As per Sporting News, in the following exhibition against Don Moore, Mayweather made around $50-60 million, as he received 80% from the PPV sales. Then in the contest against Mikuru Asakura, Mayweather earned around $20 million, as reported by ESPN.Â  Furthermore, he even accepted the exhibition against another Youtuber Deji, where, as per The Mail, he earned around $28 million. In 2023, Mayweather fought former Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers and the grandson of crime boss John Gotti: John Gotti 3, reportedly earning a guaranteed purse of $10 Million and $25 Million consecutively.Â  Moreover, Floyd Mayweather Jr. was endorsed by many notable companies such as Hublot, Burger King, during his playing career. Apart from that, his other notable business investments include Money Team Racing, Mayweather Promotions, and Skate Rock City. Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s career timeline Coming from an acclaimed boxing family, it was natural for young Floyd Mayweather Jr. to pick the gloves. The prodigious boxer won the Golden Gloves in 1993, 1994, and 1996. Making it to the Olympics, Mayweather Jr. controversially lost the semi-finals to Serafim Todorov. As a result, he had to settle for a bronze medal. Per records, his amateur wins stood at eighty-four against eight defeats. By the year-end 1996, Mayweather Jr. embarked on his professional career with his first fight against Roberto Apodaca on October 11. He was three months short of his twentieth birthday. Over the next two years, Floyd Mayweather won nineteen fights. In between, he won his first world title on October 3 against Genaro Hernandez. Mayweather would successfully defend his WBC super featherweight title for the next three years. Then, on April 20, 2002, Mayweather Jr. fought his first bout in the lightweight division. He won the WBA and The Ring titles with a win over Jose Luis Castillo. The first big name that crossed his path was Arturo Gatti. The duo fought on June 25, 2005, for the WBC super lightweight title. &#8216;Money&#8217; won as the latter retired by the sixth round of the contest. Making his second divisional move, &#8216;TBE&#8217; fought and defeated Zab Judah unanimously on April 8, 2006, winning the IBF and IBO welterweight titles. Towards the end of the year, he defeated Carlos Baldomir and added the WBC, IBA, and The Ring welterweight belts to his kitty. On May 7, 2007, he faced the next big name. Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought for the WBC light middleweight title. The latter won via split decision. His next severe test awaited him six months later. England&#8217;s Ricky Hatton and Mayweather Jr. fought at MGM Grand on December 8. A tenth-round stoppage ensured a technical victory for the American while defending the welterweight titles. Three years later, Mayweather outclassed Shane Mosley at MGM Grand. The following year, he knocked out Victor Ortiz to win the WBC welterweight title. Miguel Cotto was the next to fall in line on May 5, 2012. The win fetched Mayweather Jr. the WBA super light middleweight title. Then, on September 14, 2013, he faced a much younger Canelo Alvarez at MGM Grand. &#8216;Money&#8217; won by a majority decision and added the WBC and The Ring Light Middleweight titles. LAS VEGAS, NV &#8211; SEPTEMBER 14: (L-R) Floyd Mayweather Jr. throws a right to Canelo Alvarez during their WBC/WBA 154-pound title fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on September 14, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images) The following two years were momentous for Floyd Mayweather Jr. In 2014, he fended off Carlos Maidana&#8217;s challenges twice. During their first bout on May 3, Mayweather won by a split decision. Four months later, the judges were unanimous in the decision to award a win to the American. Then, onÂ May 2, 2015, &#8216;TBE&#8217; faced his biggest challenge. He met the mighty Manny Pacquiao at MGM Grand. The much-hyped fight proved to be drab. Nevertheless, the American won unanimously and got himself the WBO welterweight title besides retaining the existing ones. He then claimed his forty-ninth professional win when he earned a unanimous decision over Andre Berto. Soon afterward, Mayweather Jr. announced his retirement from the sport. Two years later, he made a comeback againstÂ the UFC sensation and mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor at Nevada&#8217;s T-Mobile Arena on August 26, 2017. Mayweather Jr. won the fight on technical grounds by the tenth round. It was the last professional fight for Floyd Mayweather Jr. His record is now perfect fifty-nil. Floyd Mayweather Juniorâ€™s partnership and endorsements Hublot Ahead of Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s fight against Conor McGregor in 2017, the Swiss watchmaking company signed a deal with the boxing legend. Mayweather was seen brandishing a $1.1 million diamond-encrustedÂ Hublot Big Bang watch in the pre-match press conference in London ahead of his fight against McGregor. His association with the company dates back to the Pacquiao fight when the former five-division world champion&#8217;s trunks carried the logo of the watch company. The value of the deal remains undisclosed to this day. Mayweather termed the deal with Hublot &#8220;timeless&#8221;.Â  Burger King The American fast-food company signed a deal with Mayweather in 2015. The deal was worth 1 million dollars in 2015. According to the stipulated contract, the company was allowed to include its mascot in Mayweather&#8217;s entourage. In the &#8220;Fight of the Century&#8221; against Pacquiao, Mayweather walked out to the ring with the company&#8217;s mascot.Â Â Â  FanDuel The sports betting company Fanduel also endorsed Mayweather. And in 2015, in the iconic fight against Pacquiao, his fight night trunks bore the company&#8217;s logo. Reportedly, the entry-level fee for any brand to associate themselves with the boxing legend is US$1 million. Floyd Mayweather Juniorâ€™s investments Mayweather is the richest boxer in the world. And a lot of it has to do with his smart business decisions. Mayweather has invested in multiple business ventures. Some of them are as follows: Â Skyscrapers Mayweather Jr. is a proud owner of nine skyscrapers, one of which includes the 93-story skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan. They are all primarily located in New York and are part of his over $150 million portfolio.

Gervonta Davis

Â  Â  Gervonta Davis Net Worth 2024: Record, Family, and Career Â Who is Gervonta Davis? Twenty-nine-year-old Gervonta Davis began his boxing journey at age five. An outstanding amateur career saw him win two hundred and six matches against a loss of only fifteen. WASHINGTON, DC &#8211; JANUARY 07: Gervonta Davis looks on before fighting Hector Luis Garcia in their WBA World Lightweight Championship bout at Capital One Arena on January 7, 2023 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images) By 2013, at age eighteen, he switched to a professional career, debuting against Desi Williams on February 13. He moved three weight divisions during the next decade, winning multiple titles. Davis has yet to come across the face of defeat in his career. In 2024, Davis converted to Islam and is now known as Abdul Wahid. Â  Gervonta Davisâ€™ Early Life Gervonta Davis was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on November 7, 1994. He used to go to Digital Harbor School but left it early to focus more on boxing. Reportedly, he obtained his high school diploma through a G.E.D. program. Davis&#8217; parents, father, Garrin Davis, and mother, Kenya Brown, were reportedly addicted to banned substances. Hence childhood in a troubled home resulted in him being taken from one foster home to another. The area he grew up in was called Sandtown-Winchester. Located in West Baltimore, it gained notoriety as a highly crime-prone locality. Davis has often claimed to have lost quite a few friends to violence. When he was eight, he told The Sun about trying a banned substance. Seemingly he didn&#8217;t like it and decided not to touch it again. Gervonta Davis&#8217; partner and children The twenty-nine-year-old world champion Gervonta Davis has never been married. However, he has been through a few relationships over the years. Gervonta Davis and Andretta Smothers &#8211; Reportedly, the two were in a relationship for a long time. On June 20, 2018, she gave birth to their daughter Gervanni. However, the relations between Davis and Smothers soon turned for the worse. While they went separate ways, Smothers, unemployed at the time, filed a case against Davis demanding child support besides their daughter&#8217;s custody. Reportedly, Davis agreed to take care of her schooling and daycare tuition and pay up to $10k monthly as child support. Gervonta Davis and Ariana Fletcher &#8211; The details of Davis&#8217;s on-and-off relationship with Instagram model and entrepreneur Ariana Fletcher soon started grabbing headlines. At one point of time in 2019, they became so popular that they were considered the internet&#8217;s favorite couple.? But later, the couple went through a very public split. Gervonta Davis and Yaya &#8211; Gervonta Davis has been reported to have dated his mentor and promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr.&#8217;s daughter, Yaya. Though no longer together, their on-off relationship seems to have caught much attention. Sometimes, early in 2020, details of Davis and Yaya handcuffed by police also grabbed headlines. Besides the above, Gervonta Davisâ€™s name has also been associated with Dretta Star, Dess Dior, and Aillen Giellsele. Lastly, the boxer also dated model and social media influencer Vanessa Posso. On Instagram, she enjoys a following of over half a million people. Additionally, she appears to be a successful businesswoman with her jewelry brand, RichGirlz. The couple also became parents to Giovanna Thalia in October 2021. It is still not known when they started dating, but they have broken up. Their relationship turned south ever since the Baltimore native was accused and eventually charged with causing bodily harm to Vanessa on the campus of the University of Miami in 2020. Although the case was finally dropped, the damage was done and they went their separate ways As things stand in 2024, Gervonta Davis (now Abdul Wahid)&#8217;s relationship status remains unconfirmed. Â  Gervonta Davis&#8217; Net Worth 2024 Itâ€™s natural for fans and followers to ask how much money Gervonta Davis has made through the years if boxing matches are his only source of income, or if he has other avenues that provide meaningful benefits to him and his family. Gervonta Davisâ€™s net worth hovers in the vicinity of $10 Million, according to Sports Arch. While it would be difficult to calculate the exact amount he received for each match since he debuted, we have details of the money he made through a few recent bouts. Reportedly, for the bout against Hector Luis Garcia, Tank received a guaranteed purse of $1.5 million besides a 60% share in the income generated through PPV sales. Likewise, for his fight against Rolando Romero, his guaranteed purse amounted to $2 million, besides the 50% share in PPV earnings. Going back to 2021, for the December fight against Isaac Cruz, Tank&#8217;s guaranteed purse was $1 million, along with 60% of the split up done for PPV sales. For the Mario Barrios fight in June of that year, his remuneration included the guaranteed purse of $1 million and a 60% share of the PPV revenue. For the fights against Leo Santa Cruz (2020), and Yuriorkis Gamboa (2019), his guaranteed purse stood at $1 million. However, the share of the income through PPV sales varied from 50% to 55%, respectively. However, Tankâ€™s biggest payday came when he fought Ryan Garcia.

Gervonta Davisâ€™ Career Timeline Gervonta Davis started boxing when he was five years old. His amateur career was outstanding. He became the National Golden Gloves champion in 2012. Before the feat, he was the National Silver Gloves champion. Additionally, he went on to win two gold medals at the National Junior Olympics. If this was not enough, he became the National Police Athletic League and Ringside World champion twice! His amateur record was two hundred and six wins against only fifteen losses. He professionally debuted against Desi Williams on February 22, 2013, and won the match convincingly with a first-round knockout. After that, he participated in sixteen bouts for three years, winning all but one through early stoppages. Davis bagged his first world title, IBF Super Featherweight, on January 14, 2017, after knocking out Jose Pedraza in the seventh round at New Yorkâ€™s Barclays Center. He managed to defend it against Liam Walsh in May of that year but eventually lost it as he missed weight against Francisco Fonseca in their September fight. By April 2018, he took home the subsequent title, the vacant WBA (Super) Super Featherweight, after a knockout victory over the Argentine Jesus Cuellar and defended it successfully till 2019. Making his way up the weight divisions, he fought and defeated the Cuban Yurirokis Gamboa for the WBA (Regular) Lightweight title on December 28, 2019. Then, roughly a year later, on October 31, 2020, by knocking out the Mexican boxer Leo Santa Cruz in the sixth round, not only did he defend the WBA (Regular) Lightweight but won the WBA (Super) Super Featherweight also in turn. On June 26, 2021, he met Mario Barrios at Atlanta, Georgia&#8217;s State Farm Arena, and netted the WBA (Regular) Super Lightweight title. Ever since, he has been defending it despite challenges from the likes of Isaac Cruz (December 5, 2021), Rolando Romero (May 28, 2022), and Hector Garcia on January 7, 2023. Davisâ€™ last fight was against Ryan Garcia and it went on to become the biggest PPV event of his career. â€˜KingRyâ€™ suffered his first career loss at the hands of Davis, the latter securing a stoppage win over the Victorville native with a liver shot in the seventh round. The event generated a live gate of $22.8 million and roped in over $100 Million in revenue. Overall, Gervonta Davisâ€™Â  professional record stands at twenty-nine wins, of which 93% came through knockouts. Gervonta Davis&#8217; signature boxing techniques Southpaw -Â Gervonta Davis is a Southpaw and has been observed to use a pawing jab against orthodox boxers. Defensively, it allows keeping a distance between himself and the opponents. For offensive purposes, Tank employs either a leading left hook or left straight punch to the body, especially when fighting against bigger foes. Outstanding ring IQ -Â Time and again, Davis has proved to have an innate ability to read an opponent. A good example would be the fight against Leo Santa Cruz. Standing at five feet and six inches and a sixty-seven-and-a-half inch reach puts him in a disadvantageous position against bigger fighters. So he smartly manages the range, sidestepping every attack the opponent throws. In his decade-long career, barely has there been an instance when Davis got hurt by shots thrown at him. Strong right hand -Â Even though he is a perennial left-handed boxer, there&#8217;s no reason to doubt that Tank would be weak with his right hand. Though typically in the southpaw stance, his right hand would be in front to deflect the opponent&#8217;s incoming shots.? However, as exemplified by the Leo Santa Cruz fights, he can use his right offensively to set the final shot with his left on either the face or body. Pressure fighting style -Â Though Gervonta Davis could be equated as a switch-hitter, let there be no doubts about what he enjoys doing the most in the ring. He loves stalking his opponents and loosens up a barrage of punch combinations when the time comes. It perplexes the foe into committing a blunder. That&#8217;s when Davis lands a fight-ending knockout blow like a classic pressure fighter. Powerful lead hook &#8211; The southpaw stance requires Davis to keep his left hand back while using the right hand to land jabs and for defense. However, the style hasn&#8217;t deprived the Baltimorean to alternately use his lead hand for thrusting a hook, either to the body or face. Often at a close range, he might need more time to chamber in the dominant left hand for that perfect hook. So instead, very intelligently, he shoots the hand most relative to the opponent. In most cases, it has been found that Tank&#8217;s opponents were barely prepared for such an onslaught. Accurate puncher -Â It&#8217;s not enough if you know how to execute a punch. It should find its target to make it useful, else it&#8217;s nothing but a sheer waste of energy. Tank has often claimed that accuracy is the key to his power. After all, for a boxer who has won 93% of his matches through knockouts, it&#8217;s relatively understandable the kind of precision he would have to stop twenty-seven opponents early in the fight! Gervonta Davisâ€™ Partnerships and Endorsements The American sports apparel and accessories company based in Maryland, Under Armour, signed the boy from their hometown, Davis, in 2017 With that, &#8216;Tank&#8217; joined the esteemed company of elite boxers like Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez. After signing â€˜Tankâ€™, the companyâ€™s senior vice president for global brand management, Adrienne Lofton told the Baltimore Sun, â€œOur I-95 billboards are our hometown heroes. We look for the next best talent all over the world. So being a young athlete from Baltimore, we knew about him.&#8221;Â  To announce the partnership, Under Armor plastered Davisâ€™ face across a couple of billboards embellished with the catchphrase &#8211; â€œBaltimoreâ€™s ownâ€. Apart from the Baltimore-based company, his other brand endorsements cannot be ascertained as of now. Gervonta Davisâ€™ Career Stats Gervonta Davis has twenty-nine fights under his belt, suffering no losses, and he has won 27 of them via knockout. Only, two of his fights went the distance. Davis has a KO rate of 93.1%. Gervonta Davisâ€™ charity and foundation Gervonta Davis believes in giving back to the community he once grew up in. In his latest charitable venture, Davis plans to revitalize his childhood block in West Baltimore. He bought a nine-house block in Sandtown, Winchester, to convert them into affordable housing. GTD Development, owned by Davis, will be involved in the renovation work. Recognizing Davisâ€™ efforts to invest in the community, City Council Nick Mosby said, &#8220;Tank, when he goes around the world, he literally carries the city of Baltimore on his back,&#8221;Â  Â &#8220;For you to come back, invest in your hometown, invest in your community, and invest in your block &#8211; is truly, truly special,&#8221; he added. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Gervonta Davisâ€™ house The Baltimore native bought a penthouse condominium at Silo Point in Locust Point last year for $3.4 million. He bought the splendid condominium from Baltimore developer Scott Plank. Charlie Hatter, CEO and co-owner of Monumental Sothebyâ€™s International Realty said he brokered the deal.Â  Davis had been looking for a new apartment, and Sotheby was happy enough to show him a video of the loft-style penthouse. Davis developed a liking for the stunning estate and was ready to seal the deal. â€œBaltimore has nationally known celebrities and [Iâ€™m] glad to see them investing in Charm City,â€ Hatter said. Gervonta Davis titles Davis has held multiple titles in three different weight divisions. He won the IBF Super Featherweight, WBA (Super) Super Featherweight, and WBA (Regular) Super Lightweight titles. He currently holds the WBA (regular) lightweight champion which he won in 2019.

Powered by a V-8 engine, the SUV boasts great off-road capabilities. The starting price of this car is $156, 450 before options.
