Top 20 Motivational Floyd Mayweather Quotes

With five division world championships and 15 world titles under his belt, Floyd Mayweather Jr is regarded as being the best boxer ever to step into a ring. But Mayweather, born on February 24th, 1977 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is not just an awesome athlete; he is a super successful businessman whose net value was estimated at $300 million at the start of 2017.

Mayweather was born into a family of boxers. His father had fought the legendary Sugar Ray Leonard and his uncle had been victorious in two boxing world championships. To say his upbringing was a little tough is an understatement. Mayweather’s mother was a drug addict and his father a drug dealer who spent frequent time in jail.

In 1996, Mayweather Jr dropped out of high school to begin a boxing career and he went on to win every professional fight he ever had. He retired in 2015 with a 49-0 record with an amazing 26 wins by way of knockout.

This was the second time he had retired. The first was to concentrate on his second career as a boxing promoter but Mayweather proved once again that he just couldn’t stay away from the ring when he agreed to fight MMA star Conor McGregor in Las Vegas in August 2017, a fight which would take Mayweather’s unbeaten total to 50-0.
