Conor McGregor is keeping MMA fans extremely entertained in the absence of a UFC event this week. The Lightweight fighter, like anyone else, has his opinion on the best and released a “GOAT THREAD.” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-no-1-is-fully-secured-by-career-end-conor-mcgregor-argues-for-no-2-position-on-g-o-a-t-list-anderson-silva/] Safe to say, not everyone was satisfied with the ‘Notorious’ choices. This included Nate Diaz, who lashed out at the Irish fighter. NATE DIAZ SLAMS CONOR MCGREGOR FOR HIS “GOAT THREAD” Diaz wrote, “Smoked the #1 p4p and double champ know the real Goat when you see him. And don’t for get I did it better and quicker than anyone else on the ground and sent him down with punches quicker than Mayweather did so f**k alll y’all rankings and know a real goat when you see me. P4p the baddest motherfucker here fuck all y’all.” Diaz added three images from his first win over ‘Notorious.’ Two images show him atop the Irishman and the final one features the infamous rear-naked choke which handed McGregor his first loss in the UFC. Diaz highlighted the fact that he has the quickest win over the Lightweight contender. At UFC 196, he defeated ‘Notorious’ via submission in the 2nd round. Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted McGregor in round 4, whilst Floyd Mayweather triumphed via TKO in round 10. Furthermore, the Welterweight fighter seemingly settled the debate saying, “P4p the baddest motherf***er here f**k all y’all.” Diaz stepped up at short notice to replace Rafael dos Anjos and shocked the world. However, ‘Notorious’ returned the favor 5 months later at UFC 202. He triumphed in a majority decision win. The calls for a Trilogy fight between the two have gained momentum in recent weeks. This is because events at UFC 249 have left ‘Notorious’ without a top tier Lightweight opponent for his July return. Could this latest exchange prompt the UFC [https://www.ufc.com/] to book the trilogy fight and let the duo settle the debate in the Octagon? “It’s the Only One That Makes Sense on Fight Island” – Daniel Cormier Shares who Conor McGregor Should Fight Next [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-news-its-the-only-one-that-makes-sense-on-fight-island-daniel-cormier-shares-who-conor-mcgregor-should-fight-next/]

Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor Net Worth 2024, Wife, Next Fight, and More Who is Conor McGregor? There&#8217;s barely any UFC fan who is not familiar with the name Conor McGregor. ConchÃºr AntÃ³in Mac GrÃ©agÃ³ir, an Irish MMA fighter, has become synonymous with the UFC, at least for an entire generation of fans. Deemed one of the highest-earning athletes in the world, the first-ever UFC two-division champion charted the Forbes No. 1 list in 2021 for his earnings both inside and outside the octagon. Apart from his fighting prowess, he is today a successful entrepreneur and very much a family man. So hereâ€™s a detailed peek into UFCâ€™s very own â€˜Notorious.â€™ Conor McGregorâ€™s early lifeÂ  McGregor was born in the year 1988 to Margaret and Tony McGregor in the capital city of Ireland, Dublin. McGregor&#8217;s mother is Margaret McGregor, and his father&#8217;s name is Tony McGregor. Apart from these two, the McGregor family also consists of the fighter&#8217;s two sisters. Erin McGregor is his oldest sister, while his second older sister is named Aoife McGregor. Erin McGregor has also appeared as a contestant in the noted celebrity dance reality show, &#8216;Dancing with the Stars&#8217;. She also works as a fitness model. On the other hand, Aoife McGregor prefers staying out of the spotlight and runs an excavation business with her husband Mark Elliott in Dublin. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; attended Irish language schools for his education. He completed his primary schooling at Gaelscoil Scoil Mologa, in Harold&#8217;s Cross. He also got admitted toÂ  GaelcholÃ¡iste ColÃ¡iste de hÃde in Tallaght.   McGregor grew up in a rather violent neighborhood of Crumlin in Dublin. He also played football in his youth. But at the age of 12, McGregor started taking boxing lessons at the Crumlin Boxing Club to raise his confidence and defend himself in the fights he often got into. McGregor shifted to Lucan in Dublin in the year 2006. He also took up an apprenticeship as a plumber. Also, it was in Lucan where McGregor had his meeting with the former UFC fighter, Tom Egan. This meeting opened up whole new avenues before McGregor. They also started training in MMA together. Conor McGregor&#8217;s wife and children First and foremost it needs to be mentioned that Conor McGregor isn&#8217;t married as of now. The Irishman has been in a relationship with his girlfriend-turned-fiance, Dee Devlin. McGregor first met Devlin in 2008 and the two have been together ever since. However, their relationship became public post-McGregor&#8217;s UFC rise in 2013. The Dublin native also got engaged to the love of his life in the year 2020. McGregor and Devlin also have four three kids together named, Conor Jr., Croai, Rian, and their latest addition, Mack. McGregor&#8217;s son, Conor Jr. is his eldest offspring, followed by his daughter Croai. Then followed by Rian, and the youngest is Mack, born in November 2023. Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth 2024 The 35-year-old Irishman took the UFC and the sport of MMA to a whole new level since he joined in 2013. McGregor showcased his superb in-octagon prowess to become the first-ever champ-champ of the UFC. Understandably, the UFC also didn&#8217;t limit itself financially and awarded McGregor lucrative contracts.   &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; also holds an awesome insight about how he can multiply his money with investments. He has invested in numerous businesses to date and makes some hefty amounts from there as well. As far as reports suggest, &#8216;Conor McGregor&#8217;s net worth&#8217; stands at a whopping $200M by the end of the year 2024. McGregor also receives his salary per fight, like every other UFC fighter. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; earned his all-time highest base salary in his two last bouts against the famed lightweight, Dustin Poirier, which stood at a whopping $5M. The same bouts also earned him his biggest paydays. Also, McGregor&#8217;s total earnings from both bouts were exactly the same. &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; pocketed an insane $5,011,000 for each of the two fights. Conor McGregorâ€™s career timeline The boy who once started boxing to defend himself from bullies today rules the world of MMA. Here are some of the highlights of his decorated career: Began showing interest in MMA (April 2006) First MMA Fight (February 2007) First Professional MMA Fight (March 2009) UFC Debut (April 2013) Fastest UFC Knockout in Championship Match (Jose Aldo, December 2015) First simultaneous UFC double champion (Eddie Alvarez, November 2016) Professional Boxing Debut (August 2017) Conor McGregor: UFC record The later part of McGregor&#8217;s career saw him pick up quite a few losses. The UFC record of arguably the most noted figure in MMA currently stands at 22-6-0. His last win was against Donald Cerrone by TKO but sadly the fighter was in recovery after two consecutive losses against Dustin Poirier, with the latter leaving him with a fractured tibia that required surgical intervention.Â    The fighter has however independently announced his comeback, but we are still awaiting an official confirmation from the promotion he is contractually bound to. And as per his own revelation to The MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani, he has only two more fights left in his contract. He has further made it abundantly clear that his loyalties lie with the UFC and has denied any inclination towards free agency or otherwise.Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s next fight â€“ Who are the possible opponents for the UFC Star Most UFC fans are aware of the fact that &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; had his last octagon outing at UFC 264. After his gruesome shinbone injury in the bout against Dustin Poirier, McGregor was sidelined for an unprecedented amount of time. There were a lot of talks about 2023 being the year of his return. Several fans had also expected the same when McGregor was elected as one of the coaches for &#8216;The Ultimate Fighter&#8217; this year. As per the ritual, the two TUF coaches, McGregor and Michael Chandler were also pitted against each other for a bout that would also mark McGregor&#8217;s return to the octagon. But with &#8216;The Irishman&#8217; failing his USADA testing pool deadline, the entire bout is currently in jeopardy. McGregor and Chandler were scheduled to compete at the last PPV of 2023. Nonetheless, now that he is back at the testing pool, it seems that 2024 is really the year.Â Earlier, the UFC president Dana White sounded pretty keen to make this bout happen when he talked about exempting McGregor from the USADA. McGregor&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve announcement which he deemed himself as &#8220;The Greatest Comeback in Sports History,&#8221;Â has only added to the excitement of his fans. The only update we have so far is that on June 29th, 2024, &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; will be facing Michael Chandler and at a weight neither has ventured yet- 185 Lbs. Regardless, the UFC or head honcho Dana White is yet to provide any confirmation on the ordeal, and so far, no contracts have been signed. Given the lack of sufficient confirmation, Chandler has been outspoken about getting restless, and that he is not worried about fighting at a different weight.Â But, in an unpredictable sport like MMA, we will still have to wait and watch who exactly McGregor fights next. Conor McGregorâ€™s businesses and endorsements &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; is easily among the wealthiest mixed martial artists. He has huge endorsement deals and tie-ups with Monster Energy, Reebok, Beats Electronics, Burger King, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Budweiser. Additionally, McGregor has his clothing line, August McGregor, and his whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve. McGregor set foot into the spirits industry in September 2018 with his Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. Initially, McGregor launched the product in the US and Ireland only. However, the success of the product had McGregor expressing his wishes to restock in the US and Ireland. via Getty McGregor also intended to introduce his whiskey into the markets of the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Canada in 2019. However, in 2021 it was reported that McGregor and his partners had sold their shares of Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey to &#8216;Proximo Siprits&#8217; for a hefty $600M. READ MORE &#8211; Conor McGregor Arrest: What Case Is the UFC Star Involved In Now? Alongside all these, McGregor also owns a chain of pubs called the Black Forge Inn. They have several outlets in some of the noted cities of this world. However, McGregor&#8217;s Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin was subjected to an attack from criminals on 12 January 2022. The hooligans threw petrol bombs targeting the pub. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident. McGregor also promised a cash reward to anyone identifying the criminals Conor McGregorâ€™s UFC careerÂ  McGregor made his professional debut as a lightweight in 2008. The Irishman made waves in the European MMA scene and finally found himself in Britain&#8217;s biggest promotion, The Cage Warriors. There he set up an 8 fight winning streak. In the same time frame, he became the Cage Warriors featherweight and lightweight double champion, the first European to do so. McGregor&#8217;s journey in the UFC is nothing but a fairy tale. He finished Marcus Brimage via knockout in his debut in 2013. After defeating the famed Max Holloway in his second bout, McGregor became a household name even to the UFC audience. His further wins against Dustin Poirier and Dennis Siver made sure that his demand to fight for the UFC Featherweight Championship was answered positively. But McGregor had to take on the Interim Featherweight Champion, Chad Mendes, before his title bout against the then-injured Featherweight kingpin, Jose Aldo. McGregor got the better of Mendes with a TKO in a neck-to-neck battle in UFC 189. He crowned himself the Interim Featherweight Champion, further justifying his Featherweight title shot. &#8216;The Notorious&#8217; finally had his much-awaited Featherweight title bout against Jose Aldo at UFC 194. Most UFC fans would agree that McGregor delivered one of the most iconic performances in the history of the UFC that night. He knocked out the fan-favorite, Aldo, in just 13 seconds of the bout claiming his UFC Featherweight title. McGregor had his first UFC loss against the coveted Nate Diaz at UFC 196 when he decided to move up to the Welterweight division. Diaz landed a few clean strikes in the second round of the bout which made McGregor shoot for a double leg. However, the &#8216;Stockton Gangster&#8217; used his superb BJJ skills to transition it to a rear-naked choke and submitted McGregor at the 4:12 mark of the second round. But during their rematch at UFC 202, McGregor avenged his defeat. Post that, he also earned the lightweight belt by defeating then-champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205. But McGregor couldn&#8217;t defend his Featherweight title successfully even once as he was stripped of it on 26 November 2016. The UFC authorities blamed it on his inactivity and announced that he had vacated the title himself. However, McGregor&#8217;s associates said that he was stripped. Conor McGregor&#8217;s Fight Against Floyd Mayweather Jr. McGregor&#8217;s fame in the UFC had him venturing out into other avenues as well. In June 2017, a boxing bout between McGregor and the coveted undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather, was announced. The bout was expected to be the most cost-involved boxing matchup at that time. The earnings of Mayweather from the bout stood at a whopping $280M while &#8216;Mystic Mac&#8217; also earned a lump sum amount of $130M. via Getty However, McGregor didn&#8217;t quite have the outcome of his choice, as he was knocked out by Mayweather in the tenth round of the bout. But this bout earned him a lot of respect from the boxing community. Conor McGregorâ€™s Graphic Injury at UFC 264 Conor McGregor in his third fight against rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, had an immensely toxic buildup to the fight. One reason for the toxicity between the two is an unpaid charity pledge, which McGregor promised in their second fight at UFC 257.Â  Leading up to their fight at UFC 264, both McGregor and Poirier had one win over each other, and their fight at UFC 264 was supposed to be the tiebreaker. Ironically enough, this didnâ€™t seem to be the case, as the fight ended prematurely, with McGregor snapping his leg near the end of the very first round.Â  This led to Dustin Poirier Being termed the winner of the fight via Doctorâ€™s Stoppage. The injury has kept him out of action for over two years. However, the Irishman is finally aiming for a return in 2024. Despite the injury, McGregor has kept himself busy focusing on his outside of fighting.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s major achievements and awards Interim UFC Featherweight Championship against Chad Mendes at UFC 189, 2015 UFC Featherweight Championship against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 UFC Lightweight Championship against Eddie Alvarez via TKO, UFC 205, 2016 Fight of the Night (Two times) vs. Nate Diaz (x2) First Irish-born UFC champion Third Multi-Divisional Champion in UFC History (Featherweight, Lightweight) First simultaneous multi-divisional champion in UFC history (Featherweight, Lightweight) Fastest win in a UFC Championship fight (13 seconds) vs. JosÃ© Aldo Conor McGregor&#8217;s charity works Leaving aside the controversies, McGregor has done a lot of charity work for his community. He donated $1 million to first responders following the success of his whiskey brand. Moreover, McGregor also gave away 50,000 to help the homeless people of Ireland. In May 2020, McGregor donated 1.3 million worth of PPE to Irish hospitals to fight the battle against Coronavirus. Additionally, McGregor has inspired several fans including a disabled man to turn their lives around. In April 2021, McGregor donated $500,000 to The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana. The Boys and Girls Club of Acadiana is involved in the growth and care of children from vulnerable houses and communities.

The fighter also appeared in a commercial entering a room laden with toys here and there, eventually morphing into one of them by harnessing the power of the shoes and defeating the rogue toys. The tagline appears- â€˜sport the unexpected.â€™Â  Conor McGregor&#8217;s house The UFC fighter, a family man, owns several houses, all worthy of a king. One is of course in his homeland, wherein he spent two million Euros for the lush The Paddocks near Straffan. The property boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and even a games room. Apart from that it faces River Liffey and even has a horse riding establishment.Â  He also owns a luxe property in Marbella, which is his holiday abode that came at a price of nearly 1.3 million Euros.

And of course, how can â€˜The Notoriousâ€™ skip the Sin City! The Mac Mansion sits only minutes away from the Vegas Strip, with seven bedrooms, a 50ft luxury pool, as well as its very own golf course.Â  And to nobodyâ€™s surprise, all his properties have customized gyms, and spas, that make sure McGregor can train anywhere he is.Â  Conor McGregorâ€™s knockouts Hereâ€™s a list of McGregorâ€™s knockouts, starting from his latest win-Â  Against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246, 2020 Against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, 2016 Against Jose Aldo at UFC 194, 2015 Against Chad Mendes, UFC 189, 2015 Against Dennis Siver, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Silver, 2015 Against Dustin Poirier, UFC 178, 2014 Against Diego Brandao, UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao, 2014 Against Marcus Brimage, UFC on FUEL TV: Mousasi vs Latifi, 2014 How to contact Conor McGregor?

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.

In a press release, Mayweather stated that â€œthis move into auto racing seems to be a perfect fit for the Mayweather brand.â€ Mayweather Promotions After deciding to go independent following his exit from Bob Arumâ€™s Top Rank in 2006, Mayweather founded Mayweather Promotions LLC with his former manager and later Premier Boxing Promotions founder Al Haymon as one of the advisors. Former amateur boxer Leonard Ellerbe is the current CEO of Mayweather Promotions. Apart from the usual promotional events in boxing, and managing the careers of a stable of fighters, the firm also organizes musical and theatrical events.Â  TMT Merchandise Using the online portals, themoneyteam.com andÂ  mayweatherpromotions.com, Mayweatherâ€™s flagship brand â€˜TMTâ€™ sells sports-related apparel and equipment. Skate Rock City Mayweather purchased a roller disco in 2021. From a snack bar to a gaming zone, the 26,000-square-foot facility known as Skate Rock City was built to provide entertainment for families. Mayweather is a big fan of skating and occasionally visits the establishment from time to time.Â Â  Girl Collection Capitalizing on the thriving adult entertainment scene in America, Mayweather owns a Las Vegas-based strip club called Girl Collection which started its operations in 2017.

Khabib has two siblings, an older brother namedÂ <strong>Muhammad Nurmagomedov</strong>Â and a younger sister namedÂ <strong>Amina Nurmagomedov</strong>. He received his early education in his village's local school, where his father guided him in combat training from a young age.

When he was fifteen, the family moved to Makhachkala, where he continued wrestling training and began taking judo classes. Khabib found the switch from wrestling to judo difficult, but his father insisted that Khabib learn how to compete in a gi jacket.

In addition to his fighting training, Khabib continued his schooling, enrolling in the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics and was a third-year student as of 2019. Despite his academic pursuits, Khabib remained focused on his combat sports career.

Situated in the village of Sildi, Dagestan, Nurmagomedov's humble abode is reportedly nothing that would stand out, but surely has a view to die for. His house dorns neither fancy interiors nor luxury items. According to some local publications of Dagestan, the house boasts two rooms with ottomans and beds, a pantry, and even what they describe as an old refrigerator.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, however, lives in Nurmagomedov Street. Yes! That right. Nonetheless, it was not named after either his or his father's legacy but his Sambo world champion uncle Nurmagomed Nurmagomedov.
