This one hits close to home

Floyd Mayweather comes from a boxing family, and those genes have played a significant role in making him a boxing icon. Mayweather‘s father — also named Floyd — was a welterweight fighter in the 1970s and the 1980s, winning 28 of his 35 bouts and passing on a wealth of knowledge to his son.

Floyd Jr. boxed competitively for two decades, taking part in 50 fights — all of which he won, 27 of them. The Mayweather name is one of the most storied in the sport’s lengthy history, spanning generations of boxing. And Money, now a proud grandfather at 47 years old, is taking steps to ensure that the Mayweather name never leaves fans’ minds.

Meet Meezy

Mayweather’s two-year-old grandson, Meezy, is already following the path toward a future in boxing. The son of Mayweather’s daughter Yaya and star rapper NBA Youngboy, Meezy recently donned a pair of boxing gloves and showed his famous grandpa that the 2030s could be another golden decade for the Mayweather family.

Meezy has even been in the ring already, shadowboxing from a safe distance, with plans maybe already being made for him to join Floyd Sr., Floyd Jr. and great-granduncle Roger Mayweather in pro boxing someday

Pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford is on a stunning knockout streak.

The former three-weight world champion has stopped his last 11 opponents stretching back to 2016.

To make the feat even more impressive, every single one of those wins came in a world title fight.

Crawford kicked off his impressive run by finishing John Molina Jr inside eight rounds in December 2016 to retain his WBC and WBO light-welterweight belts.

The likes of Amir Khan, Kell Brook, and Shawn Porter fell to him in the following years as he picked up all the major sanctioning body belts at 140lbs.

Crawford then went on to cement his legacy as an all-time great by knocking out Errol Spence 10 months ago to become undisputed champion at welterweight.

This marked the first time a male fighter had been crowned a two-weight undisputed champion in the four-belt era – although Naoya Inoue and Oleksandr Usyk have since followed suit.

‘Bud’ is now 40-0 as a pro and is quickly closing in on Floyd Mayweather’s unblemished 50-0 record.

‘TBE’ won world titles in five different weight classes but never achieved undisputed status during his 21-year stint in the paid ranks.

The closest Mayweather came to unifying all the belts was in 2015 when he defeated Manny Pacquiao for the WBC, WBA, and WBO welterweight titles.

However, Mayweather refused to pay a sanctioning fee to the WBO after the fight and was subsequently stripped of their version of the world title.

Crawford is looking to further close the gap on Mayweather’s legacy by going for his fourth world title this weekend.

Aims to deliver a high-quality product

Floyd Mayweather has now ventured into the world of spirits with his new brand, Good Money Whiskey. Launched in 2024, this brand is part of Mayweather‘s expanding collection of luxury ventures and mirrors his philosophy of excellence and hard work.

Mayweather‘s foray into the whiskey market aims to deliver a high-quality product that appeals to both whiskey enthusiasts and fans of his career. His entry into this industry is marked by a commitment to offering a top-tier experience, consistent with the standards he upholds in all his endeavors.

To get a firsthand experience, Mail Sport traveled to Las Vegas and joined Mayweather at the 8 Cigar Lounge in Resorts World to taste Good Money Whiskey.

Mayweather personally introduced the brand’s flagship product-a ten-year-old Canadian Whiskey known for its smooth, rich taste and complex aroma, featuring notes of butterscotch, spice, and vanilla.

Commitment to the investment

The boxing legend spoke about the meticulous aging process that gives the whiskey its distinct flavor profile. He also introduced a five-year-old version of the whiskey, which, while less aged, still offers a refined taste that caters to a wider audience.

Mayweather emphasized that his commitment to Good Money Whiskey goes beyond typical celebrity endorsement, reflecting his personal dedication to making the brand a leader in the market.

“Every adult wants to have something great to drink,” Mayweather said.

“And guess what? Together with my team, we developed and sourced th best exclusive products we could find to be offered to the public.

It’s just like boxing. I had the best team, so I got the best results. I’ve got the best team on my brands, too. Just try it and you’ll see.

“I don’t want to speak badly about any celebrities who have launched a product but there is a distinct difference between them and me. A lot of the time, celebrities market someone else’s products. They don’t have any ownership or equity.”

Floyd Mayweather, a name synonymous with boxing excellence, remains undefeated in his professional career with an impeccable 50-0 record. However, the boxing legend, often hailed as one of the greatest professional pugilists of all time, experienced the sting of defeat during his amateur days.

From 1996 to 2017, Mayweather dominated the professional boxing scene, securing 12 major world championships across five weight classes, ranging from super featherweight to super welterweight, and defeating 24 former or current world champions. His amateur career was also marked by notable achievements, including three national Golden Gloves championships in 1993, 1994, and 1996, and a bronze medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Although you may beautify a crow with a peacock’s feathers, you can never completely transform the former into the latter irrespective of what you do. No matter how well-versed in boxing Devin Haney may seem to you, can you place ‘The Dream’ on the same page as Floyd Mayweather? For ShowBizz the Adult, such a comparison is outrageous and belittles Mayweather’s God-gifted skills.

And since the boxing commentator will not hesitate to call a spade a spade, he questioned Mayweather’s exhibition against Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan too. Besides ridiculing how Nasukawa responded to getting hit, ShowBizz pointed out that Mayweather was “pissed” by the Japanese boxer as the latter failed to deliver a show accepted under Mayweather’s standards.

ShowBizz is sick of others getting compared to Floyd Mayweather

In April this year, Tha Boxing Voice claimed Devin Haney resembled Floyd Mayweather. In their opinion, given the way Haney boxed, ‘The Dream’ was a threat to Mayweather’s golden legacy! However, ShowBizz has strongly opposed the comparison between Mayweather and Haney. In his opinion, considering Devin another version of Floyd is “disrespecting ‘Money’ Mayweather.” According to him, besides Mayweather’s fight IQ, Haney is deficient in speed and reflexes.

“Mayweather’s speed was blinding. His reflexes were insane. You don’t get hit by [a] Ryan-Ostarine left!” ShowBizz added, casually referring to Ryan Garcia’s failed drug test and a subsequent ban by the NYSAC. Although Garcia dominated Haney, ShowBizz is confident that Mayweather would have “whipped” ‘KingRy’ in the ring unlike ‘The Dream’ who was knocked down thrice.

Just like punching hard does not make a short fighter Mike Tyson, employing the Philly Shell is not sufficient for one to become the next Floyd. Speaking of which, ShowBizz added, “Floyd’s naturally God gifts were incredible.” Having sung praises of Mayweather’s skills which make him unique, ShowBizz ridiculed Mayweather’s exhibition against Tenshin Nasukawa.

Tenshin Nasukawa frustrated Mayweather with “worst acting”

Observing the exhibition against kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, several fans accused Floyd Mayweather of producing a rigged fight. At the time of the exhibition, Nasukawa was the reigning Rise kickboxing champion. However, considering his amateur record that surpasses 100 fights, Nasukawa looked way too stressed from the beginning for a fighter not unfamiliar with risks. As soon as the fight began, Mayweather, bigger in size, intimidated Nasukawa as if the Japanese boxer was left with a wild creature, all forgotten by his family. Soon, following three dramatic knockdowns, Mayweather stopped Tenshin in the very first round.
