There has been a trend of picking four names who best represent a sport

There has been a trend of picking four names who best represent a sport – and Bellew listed Roy Jones Jr, Ricardo Lopez, Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson.

It means no room for unbeaten Mayweather and KO king Tyson but SunSport break down what makes Bellew’s picks so special.

Roy Jones Jr

The American is considered of of the best talents to ever grace the ring, blessed with speed, power and sensational reactions.

He was four-weight champion, winning belts from middleweight all the way up to HEAVYWEIGHT.

But Jones has continued fighting well into his prime, as recently as 2023 aged 54.

Ricardo Lopez

The Mexican also had an undefeated 52-bout career but a 1998 draw with Rosendo Alvarez denied Lopez an unblemished record.

He held two world titles and boxed as low as seven-and-a-half STONE.

Lopez had 38 KOs and retired in 2001 and remains one of the most celebrated fighters in Mexican boxing history.

Muhammad Ali

Mike Tyson

Known as ‘The Greatest’ due to his iconic career in the ring and for the work he did outside of it.

Ali reigned as three-time champ and fought George Foreman and Joe Frazier in two of the most famous fights of all time.

The sporting great sadly passed away in 2016 aged 74 as the most beloved boxer of all time.

You won’t believe how much he’ll make if he sells it at that price

Retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is ready to part ways with his grand six-bedroom, 9.5-bath bath estate in Beverly Hills, Calif., and he’s aiming to secure a hefty profit when he sells it of.

The more-than-15,000-square-foot mansion on a half-acre lot comes with an astonishing $48 million price tag.

Simone Biles proved again during the Paris Olympics why she’s considered the best in business. Coming from a bittersweet Tokyo Olympics, she had some people speculating whether she would be at her best this time. However, she ended up shutting down those speculations quickly, winning four medals—3 gold and one silver—in the competition, proving to the world once again that she was the greatest of all time.

Now, to honor her achievements, a company has come forward to honor her. Designsbysantwon, a company that designs rings for winners of competitions, has designed ‘5 CUSTOM CUT STONE’ gold rings for Simone Biles to hopefully present to her. All the rings have the central theme of having both Simone and the Paris Olympics in them.

For example, one ring has Biles written in it with the Eiffel Tower designed in the background. Another has Simone written with the colors of an American flag. The company said that they wanted to gift these rings to Simone Biles herself. “This concept, Should the Queen accept, will be 100% GIFTED✨ REAL GOLD for the REAL DEAL🙌🏿.” They asked the people who were commenting under the post to tag Simone so that this could reach her.

Simone Biles

The company was successful in its pursuit, as Simone commented within an hour of the post being uploaded with a shocked reaction, “😱😱😱😱” It is unclear when the gymnast will receive the rings now that she’s embarking on the Gold Over America tour. But it is a great gift to her for her achievements. The company has designed rings for numerous other competition-winning teams.

Numerous other teams have designed their rings from the company. This includes numerous cheerleading teams like the Sassycats, who became eight-time NCA All-Star National Champions. Roosevelt University, who won the NCA Collegiate National Championship in 2024, the 2024 NHSCC National Champions High School Bobcats, and Team Australia, who won the 2024 ICU World title, are some of their other clients.

However, they won’t be taking any compensation for the rings presented to Simone Biles and want to gift them to her for her incredible achievements. This continues the long list of people who have congratulated and paid tribute to Simone Biles after her incredible Paris Olympics campaign. This list includes not only fans of the gymnast but also celebrities who don’t seem to get enough of her either.

Numerous celebrities paid tribute to Simone Biles for her Olympics campaign

Teofimo Lopez recently called out Gervonta Davis for a fight this year.

‘Tank’ Davis currently holds the WBA Lightweight World Title, being elevated to full champion when Devin Haney vacated and making his first defence against previously-undefeated Frank Martin.

Lopez, who previously held four belts in that division, has settled one weight class up at 140 pounds, winning the WBO belt in his third fight there against Josh Taylor and making two successful defences since.

Both are currently in the market for an opponent and Lopez recently issued the call for Davis to move up and face him before the year is out.

Speaking to Sean Zittel on a potential fight, undefeated super-featherweight Maliek Montgomery used the experience of a 2015 amateur bout with Lopez and more recent sparring sessions with Davis to make a prediction.

Gervonta Davis

“I wasn’t able to get any work with Teo more currently, but from my perspective of being in the ring with both of them, that’s a tough one. I would still probably give the edge to Tank in that fight … just because that power is an equaliser, and it doesn’t help the fact that he has a great boxing IQ also.

So it’s a part of now you gotta go twelve rounds of dealing with somebody who can box, has all those attributes, but also has that type of power that they can hit you one time and change the whole tempo of the fight.”

‘Tank’ is slated to return on December 21 against former super-featherweight champion Lamont Roach, according to Dan Rafael. Lopez is currently without a date or opponent.

On 6th July, Shakur Stevenson recorded a one-sided victory against Artem Harutyunyan in his hometown fight in Newark, New Jersey. However, the hometown hero’s performance put a damper on the celebratory mood as the WBC lightweight champion was soon deemed “boring” by many. Despite being one of the best defensive boxers who rarely gets hit, the boxing world heavily criticized Stevenson for a lack of action in the ring. Clips were circulating of fans leaving the Newark arena before the fight was even over. Fans weren’t fond of this method in his fight against Edwin de Los Santos in December last year, either.

After the fight, American rapper Mason Betha, aka Mase, called out Stevenson on his podcast and stated “I don’t wanna see Shakur fight,” criticizing his boxing style. The 27-year-old boxer was not a fan of this criticism and hit back at Mase, even calling his rap career a failure. In a recent episode of the ‘It Is What It Is’ podcast, Camron Giles aka Cam’ron, Mase’s co-host, asked Mike Tyson about the criticism directed at Shakur over his fighting style, and his lack of fortitude when it comes to dealing with it. While replying to the question, the legendary heavyweight champion was not particularly kind towards his fellow boxer.

Gervonta Davis

Giles laid down the fact that Stevenson was angry at their criticism of him and asked Mike Tyson if he used to respond to criticism in such a manner. “They are entitled to their opinion,” Iron Mike began. The 57-year-old was clear that a boxer should have a thick skin and should know how to handle criticism as it is a part of the sport.

But according to Tyson, the one fact that remains is that even if you are a boxer, you can’t fight everyone, so just accept that fact and move on. Iron Mike continued, “I may be a little sh*tty about it, but they are entitled to their own opinion. I am not gonna kick your a** about it. It’s your opinion.” In a three-decade-long career, Tyson has been on the receiving end of many negative things, but he has always handled it like a professional. Well, most times.

The Mexican is the top star in the boxing business according to Robert Garcia

The commercial success of Canelo Alvarez isn’t up for debate in the boxing world, of which he became the face after the retirement of Floyd Mayweather Jr, the Mexican’s executioner in 2013.

For that reason Saul Alvarez has the luxury of deciding who his opponents are, and regardless of their standing, his drawing power remains unmatched.

Robert Garcia: Canelo is a superstar whoever he chooses to fight

Thank you for watching

In his last fight on September 14 against Edgar BerlangaCanelo generated approximately $17 million in box office at the T-Mobile and around $60MDD in pay-per-view (PPV) sales, according to Sports Business Journal estimates. So in total he generated about $80 million by picking his opponent.

Floyd Mayweather

Those numbers deflate any attack on Saul Alvarez over his choice of opponents, believes trainer Robert Garcia, as only stars like Floyd Mayweather Jr. can do that.

That tells you that Canelo is a superstar, he’s the face of boxing right now. People make fun of him for his choice of opponents, but when you look at the buys, when you look at the gate, does he look like he’s found the right spot?

Mayweather was also in that position where no matter who he fights or who he puts on an exhibition with, he’s still going to put up good numbers. So, there are very few that could do that and Canelo is one of them,” Robert Garcia told FightHub TV.

The boxing legend has earned more than $1billion dollars throughout his illustrious career

Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather Jr., a name synonymous with boxing greatness and wealth, has cemented his status as one of the most financially successful athletes of all time.

With an impeccable boxing record of 50-0, Mayweather’s prowess in the ring has translated into staggering earnings and an unrivaled net worth.

Despite his humble beginnings, Mayweather’s career earnings have soared to an astonishing $1.2 billion, making him one of the wealthiest athletes globally.

His net worth, as of 2024, stands around $400-$450 million.

What is the salary of Floyd Mayweather?

Floyd Mayweather

During his illustrious career, Mayweather secured fifteen major world titles, establishing himself not only as the richest but also one of the most decorated boxers of all time.

Before turning professional, he had already claimed an Olympic bronze medal and three national Golden Gloves titles, laying the groundwork for his future dominance in the sport.

Mayweather’s ability to negotiate lucrative fight deals has been a key driver of his astronomical wealth. His showdowns against boxing legends like Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor have resulted in eye-watering paychecks, with reported earnings reaching $300 million and $350 million respectively.

Notably, Mayweather’s guaranteed disclosed paycheck for his fights often pales in comparison to his actual earnings.

For instance, while his guaranteed paycheck for a fight might stand at $100 million, his actual earnings could soar to an astonishing $275 million, showcasing his unparalleled drawing power and revenue generation capability.

The magnitude of Mayweather’s earnings becomes even more staggering when compared to other athletes.

He sits proudly as the fifth highest-paid athlete of all time, alongside sporting icons like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.

What sets Mayweather apart is his ability to amass such wealth primarily through his boxing endeavors, with endorsement deals forming only a fraction of his earnings.

Mayweather’s real estate investments

Beyond the boxing ring, Mayweather has diversified his wealth through smart investments in real estate.

Floyd Mayweather

His property portfolio boasts luxurious residences in prime locations, serving as testaments to his keen eye for lucrative opportunities.

In Las Vegas, Mayweather’s primary residence since 2018 is an opulent 11-bedroom custom-built mansion spanning 22,000 square feet, acquired for $10 million.

Additionally, he owns a lavish 13,000-square-foot mansion in Vegas, purchased for $9.5 million, which served as his primary residence from 2010 to 2018.

The boxing icon’s real estate empire extends beyond Vegas, with notable acquisitions including a $25.5 million mansion in Beverly Hills, equipped with extravagant amenities such as a candy shop, a 12-seat movie theater, and a 300-bottle wine room.

In August 2021, Mayweather expanded his real estate holdings with an $18 million waterfront mansion on Miami’s Palm Island.

Outside the ring, Mayweather’s business ventures further bolster his financial empire.

He owns Mayweather Promotions, a successful promotional company, and TMT, his own apparel brand.

Mayweather’s extravagant lifestyle is characterized by luxury cars, private jets, and an extensive jewelry collection.

Despite occasional rumors of financial troubles, Mayweather’s strategic investments and his approach to wealth management have ensured his enduring prosperity.

The next ‘Money’ fight

Floyd Mayweather Jr. will face off again in an exhibition fight against John Gotti III, emanating this time from Mexico City. Although it has not yet been revealed what his purse will be for this show, it is estimated that Mayweather will get a much ‘more modest’ amount of between $20 and $25 million.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are tied at heart. But for now, professional commitments have positioned the much-in-love pair a few long-haul flights away from each other. As the elite gymnast is touring city to city with her Gold Over America Tour squad,  the Chicago Bears’ star enters week 3 of the 2024 NFL season. However, the couple lives to redefine the ‘out of sight out of mind’ theory, for they might be miles apart, but are always in each other’s thoughts.

Squeezing time out of her Arizona stop, Biles visited the famous tattoo artist Sydney Smith to get her husband’s initial tattooed on her ring finger recently. The moment she landed in San Francisco, she called Owens, who woke up from his sleep and went like, ‘Im going to cry, I’m going to cry.’ You’d think that’d be enough to symbolize her love? She even added a ‘Made in heaven’ on the back of her neck. Well, if she goes all the way to make him feel special, a huge possibility indicates that she might go the extra mile to stop by his game too. How does that work out? Well, here are the odds.

Simone Biles

Possibility of where they’ll meet

September 16, Simone Biles’ GOAT tour kicked off from Oceanside, a day after Jonathan had his Sunday game against the Houston Texans. Thus, the gymnast was probably settling down in California while her husband fought against her home team. While that was a missed chance, a few windows are opening up, the one with the highest probably on September 29.

  • The first possibility (September 21-September 22) Biles returns to the SAP Center, a special arena for her on September 21, for the GOAT tour stop. Whereas the Bears play the Indianapolis Colts the next day, September 22. However, it’s highly unlikely she will fly 5+ hours and then back to Salt Lake City, Utah for her performance at the Maverik Center the next day.
  • The second possibility (September 29) Fate aligns as such that Simone Biles arrives in Chicago, the 9th destination of the GOAT tour, the same day as Owens has his match against the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field. While the NFL game begins at 12 pm, Biles 110 minute long gymnastics gala begins at 7 pm. Also, the distance between the United Center and Soldier field is approximately 5 miles, achievable in 10 minutes. Thus, the logistics don’t seem an issue, as it is easily manageable for her to make it in time.
