It has been more than seven years since Floyd Mayweather retired and fans are still missing him. The 50-0 boxer is one of the best the world has ever seen and very few can match his accolades in the ring. That is why it is an occasion every time he steps into the ring for an exhibition show.

Since he retired from professional boxing, the Grand Rapids native has treated the fans with several high-profile exhibition matches. Mayweather has fought the likes of Logan Paul, Don Moore, Aaron Chalmers, Deji Olatunji, and John Gotti III. While the 50-year-old hinted towards more exhibitions in the future, his uncle Jeff Mayweather revealed a ticking timeline for him and also revealed the next possible opponent.

Floyd Mayweather has a deadline

In a conversation with ‘Fred Talks Fighting,’ his uncle expressed his doubts regarding Floyd Mayweather’s possible return for another exhibition. He declared, “I have no idea. I mean like I said, I don’t necessarily see for it. We don’t really get a chance to talk very much and so I don’t really know what’s going on with him,” revealed Jeff Mayweather while talking about his nephew’s future plans.

“Money” wants to fight in 2025

It seems that Floyd Mayweather will return to the ring this year. Since his retirement, he has participated in major exhibitions with opponents such as Logan Paul and John Gotti III. At 50 years of age, he still has the same desire to get into the ring, and his next target could be KSI, content creator and one of the founders of Prime.

Convincing Mayweather Jr does not seem to be such a complicated task, if the money is good, surely he and his team will give the go-ahead for the fight to take place during 2025.

The offer on the table for Floyd?

Jeff Mayweather, the boxer’s uncle, spoke in an interview with Fred Talks Fighting about when “Money” next exhibition will be:

“I have no idea. I mean, like I said, I don’t necessarily see that he can do it. We don’t really get a chance to talk much and so I don’t really know what’s going on with him,” were Jeff’s words.

After a couple of confessions, the hosts got the name of KSI, as a possible rival to Floyd’s uncle, there he gave some statements that will give something to talk about

“That’s a fight that could possibly happen,” he said

“Somebody’s gonna have to start making some noise for the exhibition to take place because I think the longer Floyd waits, I think he’ll just say I’m finally retired,” Jeff Mayweather insisted

KSI vs Mayweather: Big money fight

The rivalry between these two already has a history dating back to 2022. Floyd faced Deji, KSI’s younger brother, where “Money” ran over the amateur fighter and something inside the content creator was left with a tremendous desire to avenge his brother.

On the other hand, Jeff, Floyd Mayweather’s uncle, in another interview with SunSport, does not see anyone from the social media guild beating his nephew:

“There is no YouTube fighter on the planet that can beat Floyd, I don’t care what weight they are. They’re not going to be Floyd. He’s a fighter, he still runs, every now and then he’s still in the gym. It’s been his life. It’s ingrained in him,” he told this outlet.

Floyd Mayweather’s last exhibition was against John Gotti lll in August last year, while KSI did not set foot in a boxing ring again after losing to Tommy Fury in October 2023

Today, it seems that both are far from fighting, however, a big purse could change their minds. More so on Floyd’s side, who could start the year negotiating with Saudi Arabia for an exhibition in Riyadh.

Floyd Mayweather famously retired unbeaten but has admitted one man pushed him to his limits in sparring.

Mayweather’s record of 50-0 is one of the most celebrated in boxing. The multi-weight world champion beat legendary names like Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto and Oscar De La Hoya

Mayweather was never put down in the ring, and not often hurt, thanks to his famous shoulder roll defensive techniques and speed of mind, foot and fist.

Speaking to FightHype TV, Mayweather named a young American fighter he sparred in 2013 as one of the best he faced.

“Errol Spence, he’s a hell of a fighter. One thing about me, I’m always going to give it to you 100% you know, and in training camp, when I was training for my fight with [Robert] Guerrero, Errol Spence gave me solid work.

“He’s a very young, tough competitor, so if I sit here and not give that young kid props, it’ll be bad. Even though after doing my time I’d been off a year, he took me to the limit, he made me work in the boxing gym, I like kids like that.”

Spence was hugely impressive in the early part of his career. He raced to 22-0 and then challenged Brit Kell Brook for his first world title and won by knockout on away soil in Sheffield. He defended the title against Lamont Peterson and Mikey Garcia and added the WBC strap by beating Shawn Porter.

After further wins over Danny Garcia and Yordenis Ugás made him a three-belt champion, he went into a historic undisputed contest with Terence Crawford in July 2023. It was a tough night that saw Spence stopped in the 9th round and Crawford become undisputed in a second division.

Spence has not fought since while Crawford has moved up and become a world champion at 154 lbs, though reports suggest he will soon be joining him there.

Floyd Mayweather earned a nine-figure payday for his final professional boxing bout with Conor McGregor – but he could have pocketed more.

In 2017, five-weight boxing world champion Mayweather and dual-weight UFC king McGregor collided at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in a lucrative crossover clash aptly billed ‘The Money Fight’.

The event generated more than $600m in revenue and sold 4.3m pay-per-views – just shy of the all-time record set by Mayweather’s long-awaited bout with Manny Pacquiao in 2015 (4.6m).

Mayweather received a lion’s share of the purse, banking an eye-watering $280m while McGregor scooped $130m for his efforts.

It marked McGregor’s first, and to date, his only pro boxing bout.

And so, despite being 11 years younger than his 40-year-old foe and considerably heavier, he was no match for the vastly more experienced Mayweather who blasted him out with a 15-punch combination in round 10.

Mayweather hadn’t knocked out an opponent since 2011 when he flattened Victor Ortiz with a sucker punch but he was so confident he would end that drought against McGregor that he dashed over to a bookies to place a bet hours before the fight.

According to ESPN, Mayweather went into a sportsbook at the M Resort in Las Vegas at 3.30pm and attempted to place a $400,000 bet on the fight ending under 9.5 rounds at -200 odds.

However, concerns over the legality of such a specific bet led to him changing his wager to a straight stoppage win – although Mayweather left the shop before he could put it down after growing tired of waiting.

“I think that we bet 100 on 9½,” Mayweather told ESPN after the fight.

“I gave my guy six figures to go bet. I have to make sure he bet because earlier today I went to the sports book to bet and they wouldn’t let me bet.”

Mayweather later revealed he gave a friend $400,000 to bet, but that his pal was only allowed to place a bet for $87,000.

There are no rules from either the Nevada State Athletic Commission or the Nevada Gaming Control that limit a fighter’s ability to bet on himself.

However, several governing bodies including the British Boxing Board of Control forbid boxers from betting on fights they are involved in due to match-fixing concerns.

Mayweather had never bet on himself prior to his bout with McGregor but is known for taking massive punts on sports.

In the space of one month between September and October 2014, Mayweather wagered $800,000 on NFL games and pulled in more than $4.7m in winnings.

He also picked up a cool $42,500 on a $10,000 ticket for Dmitry Bivol to beat Canelo Alvarez in 2022 and raked in a remarkable $827,000 during a four-day winning streak in boxing and NBA in May 2015.

Floyd Mayweather reflects on his iconic victories over Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Álvarez, sharing who he found tougher and reigniting the debate about boxing’s greatest of all time.

Floyd Mayweather, the boxing legend, retired in 2017 with an impeccable 50-0 record, defeating some of the greatest boxers in history. Among his most notable victories are those over Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Álvarez, both of whom he outclassed on points.

The fight against Pacquiao in May 2015 remains the most successful pay-per-view event in boxing history. Meanwhile, Mayweather handed Canelo his first professional loss in September 2013, showcasing his dominance against the rising star.

During an interview on the “Million Dollaz Worth Of Game” podcast, Mayweather reflected on these victories, stating that Manny Pacquiao was the tougher opponent of the two and the most challenging fighter he has ever faced.

Mayweather on Pacquiao: “A Hell of a Fighter”

“It’s because of his movement. He’s a hell of a fighter, and I can see why he won so many fights, and I can see why he’s going down as a Hall of Famer. It’s just certain moves he makes,” Mayweather commented, praising the Filipino icon’s unique style and accomplishments.

Mayweather’s Brutal Honesty About Canelo

In contrast, Mayweather was more dismissive when discussing his fight with Canelo Álvarez. “You can take a guy like Canelo. I’ll tell the truth about Canelo. The (expletive) was easy. A cakewalk, easy. You’re all praising this dude. He was nothing. I was almost 40, and I cooked this dude, easy.”

Mayweather’s blunt remarks highlight his confidence in his performance against Canelo, whom he defeated with remarkable ease despite being well past his physical prime.

The Eternal Debate: Boxing’s Greatest of All Time

Though Mayweather retired undefeated, his legacy continues to spark debates among fans and experts alike. His recent comments reignite the discussion about who truly deserves the title of the greatest boxer of all time. With victories over two legendary fighters like Pacquiao and Canelo, Mayweather’s career remains a cornerstone of modern boxing history.

Oscar De La Hoya was looking for an alternative to Floyd Mayweather when the idea of him fighting Manny Pacquiao, then a lightweight, was first proposed.

It was none other than the respected HBO analyst Larry Merchant who first detected the ability in them to combine in an occasion capable of transcending boxing, but when he did so Pacquiao, for all of his undoubted ability, had never fought above 135lbs.

HBO Boxing had largely come to define the sport during what represented the glory era of the noughties.

Their 24/7 series had first enhanced De La Hoya’s standing as the world’s highest-profile figure and contributed to Floyd Mayweather succeeding him in that status; when De La Hoya vs Pacquiao was signed for December 6, 2008, it then started the process of transforming the exciting Pacquiao into a crossover star.

If De La Hoya had been frustrated by Mayweather’s refusal to commit to a rematch – in May 2007 Mayweather had earned a split decision over him at super-welterweight – Pacquiao had come to represent the next most lucrative opponent.

Pacquiao had also been viewed as fortunate to earn a decision over Juan Manuel Marquez in March 2008 at super-featherweight – it was widely concluded that even after impressing in victory over David Diaz at lightweight three months later, he would be too small to trouble De La Hoya, who had previously fought at 160lbs.

“The size difference won’t be a big deal to me or Manny,” said the “Golden Boy” when their welterweight contest was agreed to.

“I understand the relentless style Manny has. For me, as a 35-year-old fighter it really is a big challenge to me. I felt challenged, especially from an expert trainer who trained me and trains Manny.

“He knows my style and knows Manny. If he thinks I can’t pull the trigger, we’ll see December 6.”

A building is purchased on Sixth Avenue, on the corner of 47th Street, in Manhattan

Floyd Mayweather, the boxing champion with a 50-0 career record, has once again shown that he has no qualms about splashing the cash. The American boxer, who boasts on his social networks of his acquisitions (he collects high-end cars, watches, poses with wads and wads of bills…), is one of the sportsmen who has earned the most money in the history of sport (more than 1.2 billion).

If in October it was revealed that he had spent more than $402 million to buy 60 New York buildings that will have more than 1,000 affordable homes in Upper Manhattan and that in November he acquired a stake in the Versace Mansion in Miami, now he has spent more than $20 million of his wealth to acquire a building on Sixth Avenue, according to TMZ.

This property is located on a corner at Sixth Avenue and 47th Street in Manhattan. It has offices, a diamond buying and selling store… and even a large billboard, the kind that delights tourists who flock to the Big Apple

“When I was young I used to shop at that Diamond store. I never thought I would end up owning this important property at the entrance to 47th Street. With hard work and dedication anything is possible,” Mayweather said in a statement. The boxer’s wealth is estimated to have reached $1.5 billion in 2024.

Floyd Mayweather has assured that generational wealth stays in his family for years to come.

‘TBE’ hung up his gloves in 2017 after pocketing a mammoth $1.2billion (£800m) in career earnings, making him the highest-paid boxer of all time.

Over the years, Mayweather has splashed his cash on various lavish items such as a £40,000 diamond-encrusted iPod, a £10,000 one-of-a-kind golf buggy and a fleet of supercars worth over £20m.

But more recently he has focused his outgoings on building up a large property portfolio for long-term investment.

His vast property empire includes a Las Vegas mansion he bought for $10m (£7.6m), a $18m (£13.8m) Miami Beach compound in the Palm Island conclave and a $402m (£309m) block of New York apartments.

However, his most recent $20m (£15.9m) purchase has been gifted to his three-year-old grandson, Kentrall Gaulden Jr.

Mayweather has entered into an agreement to purchase a prominent building in New York City for ten figures.

The property is located on 6th Avenue and 47th Street in Manhattan and comes complete with offices, a diamond exchange, and a large, income-generating billboard.

Mayweather regularly frequented the diamond district, which is now owned by his grandson.

“I never thought I would end up owning this important property at the entrance of 47th street…

“Through hard work and dedication anything is possible.”

Mayweather uploaded a video of him gifting the building to his grandson to his Instagram

“You are the first kid that owns a building in the diamond district in New York City.”

Kentrall smiled and wrapped his arms around his grandad.

‘Money Mayweather’ may be flashing his cash now but it wasn’t always this way.

The five-weight world champion grew up in a one-bedroom apartment with six relatives in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

“When people see what I have now, they have no idea of where I came from and how I didn’t have anything growing up,” he told Mercury News in 2007.

His story now serves as a reminder of how boxing can change lives.

Bob Arum has seen it all in the sport of boxing, including one of its biggest stars in history, Floyd Mayweather.

Though there was no love lost between the promoter and fighter when Mayweather split from Top Rank and went out on his own, Arum saw up close and personal just how skillful the 47-year-old was in his prime.

Famously, no man could beat Floyd in the ring, though some came close. He retired with a perfect 50-0 record with victories over the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley.

The latest dominant American in the sport is one Terence Crawford, the switch-hitting four-division world champion whom Arum also promoted before a split.

The 93-year-old promoter was asked about a fantasy match-up between Crawford and Mayweather by ES News and confidently backed the current champion.

Floyd Mayweather is widely regarded as the greatest boxer of the modern era with his perfect 50-0 record – a one-of-a-kind accolade. His technical prowess, world-class defensive skills, and his punching accuracy always saw him get the better of his rivals. However, in one of his toughest outings, the world saw Mayweather getting toyed with by Emanuel Augustus before ‘Money’ Mayweather found the TKO victory in the 9th round, which Joe Rogan recently claimed to have found amusing.

Among the wide array of showboaters in boxing, Emanuel Augustus surely tops the list. The former boxer competed in a mind-boggling 78 professional bouts, racking up a mixed record of 38 wins and 34 losses (and six draws), but that’s not what he was known for. In fact, Augustus showcased one of the most awkward boxing styles, which proved to be a big problem for Floyd Mayweather when they fought in 2000.

Although Floyd Mayweather managed to knock the ‘Drunken Master’ out, which Emanuel Augustus was so often called, ‘Money’ Mayweather would admit later that he had to dig deep when he was in the ring with his former rival, something that Joe Rogan seems to agree with. During episode #2235 of JRE, the host told guest Mike Rowe, “He gave Floyd a hard f***ing time because he’s so difficult to fight… [Reacting to Augustus’s highlights] How do you deal with that?”

While showering praise on how good of a boxer Floyd Mayweather was, Joe Rogan also gave credit to Emanuel Augustus for his awkward, yet effective style. “When you’re a guy like Floyd and you’re getting clowned – the cream of the crop, Olympian, I mean you’re a f**king phenomenal boxer, just a fantastic boxer – and then you’re fighting this guy who’s dancing in front of you, but also really good. It wasn’t just that, like you rarely get a guy who’s clowning like that but also [has] that kind of head movement skill. Phenomenal movement.” Joe Rogan stated.

Meanwhile, his guest, TV personality Mike Rowe, wondered what went into Emanuel Augustus’ training that made his boxing so awkward but effective. Well, Joe Rogan believes that these are those kinds of things that can never be taught.

Joe Rogan believes Floyd Mayweather’s former rival’s awkward style comes to him naturally

In any form of combat sports, coaches always emphasize the importance of technique, and boxers like Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson, among many others, have proved how essential techniques really carve a fighter’s path to success. This is a reason why Joe Rogan doesn’t believe that the style Emanuel Augustus had was something that was taught in training.

“I don’t think anybody trains you to do that. [Someone like Cus D’Amato] he would never [allow it],” said Joe Rogan. However, he does seem to believe that if fighters naturally develop their own way of fighting, with a unique flair, there might be certain exceptions where coaches could play to those fighters’ strengths – but only if they find success consistently.
