Is there anything Floyd Mayweather cannot afford? After appearing at a recent WNBA game with a bag of money beside him, Mayweather took to Instagram to show off his most recent purchase: another jet.

“I just copped/ bought another toy, but I play with this one in the sky. I’m going to continue to set the bar high while they continue to pray on my downfall,” Mayweather said in a recent Instagram caption. “I’m going to stay on my grind. Either you hate it or you motivated. 2 planes give them 2 more small reasons to hate!”

Known as the Air Mayweather 2, the Gulfstream III private jet is black and white with “Mayweather” written in red across the plane’s fuselage. The initials “TMT,” for Mayweather’s brand, The Money Team, appear on the jet’s tail.

Air Mayweather 2 is built for luxury travel. The jet has twelve beige leather seats with black and red pillows with a monogrammed “M” on the headrest. There are also black tables for workspaces and dining. Throughout the jet’s interior are signature accents such as golden cup holders.

Money Is Not A Problem

Mayweather, who is considered the wealthiest boxer in history, is worth an estimated $400 million. He began his professional career in 1996 and won six boxing championships. What makes Mayweather so unique as a boxer was his ability to fight in five weight classes, including super featherweight, lightweight, junior welterweight, welterweight twice, and super selterweight.

No matter the weight class, Mayweather had an unblemished an unblemished record, one that eventually tallied 50 wins, with 27 by knockout. His highest-paid fight came in 2018 when he fought Conor McGregor for $30 million. In addition, endorsement deals with brands such as Hublot, Burger King and FanDuel also enhanced the fighter’s net worth.

Outside the ring, Mayweather generates additional income with his brands Mayweather Promotions and The Money Team.

In total, Mayweather’s career earnings are reported to be $1.1 billion.

Mayweather’s wins in the ring have afforded him quite a few luxuries. From fleets of cars to homes in Las Vegas and Beverly Hills, Mayweather is not scared to show his wealth. His recent private jet purchase is in addition to another plane purportedly purchased for $50 million in 2014, a Gulfstream G650. Mayweather used the plan to travel to countries such as Hong Kong, Bali, Tokyo, Monte Carlo and Fiji.

Floyd Mayweather’s most formidable opponent needed to be saved from himself as the self-professed ‘Best Ever’ worked him over in their 2000 fight.

On October 21, Mayweather faced Emanuel Augustus at Cobo Hall in Detroit between WBC super featherweight title defenses against Gregorio Vargas and Diego Corrales. ‘The Drunken Master’ would be ideal preparation for what was expected to be a hard slog against Corrales three months later.

Augustus, who later took the honor of being Mayweather’s most formidable foe, gave the future 50-0 superstar all he could handle in the fight without any notion of claiming victory. Mayweather was too fast and good for Augustus, who deployed as many tricks of the trade as possible to remain in the fight. In the end, it took a plea for mercy from trainer Nelson Lopez to end it with a round remaining.

Mayweather quickly opened a cut above Augustus’ eye and built on that by breaking down the Chicago native with peppers of shots throughout. Augustus tried to give as good as he got and, at times, had success. However, Mayweather always had the final say in the exchanges.

Into round four, Mayweather was beginning to bust Augustus up before going into defensive mode as he took a breather. Once he’d recharged, Mayweather unleashed another damaging barrage even though Augustus kept coming forward.

Midway through the contest, Augustus’ relentlessness paid dividends as Mayweather showed signs of wear and tear. Despite being in total control of the scorecards, Mayweather wasn’t having it all his own way.

Taking another breath, Mayweather allowed Augustus to work but was still getting caught throughout his attacks, so much so that the ringside doctor looked at Augustus to his disgust. Augustus was allowed to continue but knew taking too much more would end the fight. – If you use these WBN quotes, please link back to the source

The following round was all Mayweather, with the physician examining Augustus again halfway through the session. In the corner, Lopez told Augustus that he had to show something in the ninth, or he’d stop the fight.

It took only a few seconds over a minute of the round for Lopez to stand on the ring apron and plead for referee Dale Grable to call the fight off. Augustus’s ability to withstand massive punishment is likely why Mayweather made those claims regarding his opponent later in his career.

Speaking to FightHype about Augustus, Mayweather said, “Before the fight, I heard he had got robbed [by bad decisions] a lot of times. I believe that’s true.

“It was a good fight, and he’s a tough motherf***er. I had to dig deep,” Mayweather added. “Emmanuel Augustus was my toughest opponent. His record didn’t show his skill set, but the guy was unbelievable.

“He didn’t have the best record in the sport of boxing. He has never won a world title. But he came to fight, and, of course, at that particular time, I had taken a long layoff. He’s a true warrior, a true champion.

Speaking about his desire to compete despite ending his career losing 34 of 78 bouts, Augustus opened up in an interview with Boxing News. He said, “I just liked to fight. I just wanted to be able to get in there and do it. I didn’t need to be motivated as I was already motivated to do it.

“But I liked to fight, and I like fighting. That’s probably a bad thing to say. It’s probably even worse to feel good about it, but it is what it is. I am a fighter. I was born to fight. And when I die, I’m going to die with boxing gloves on and a mouthpiece in. That’s my frame of mind. Every time I turn around, I’m fighting for something.” – If you use these WBN quotes, please link back to the source: https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2024/07/18/floyd-mayweather-hardest-fight-plea-for-mercy/

The stage is set for a proper clash of titans at the CDMX Arena on Saturday, August 24 as the co-feature is set for Floyd Mayweather vs John Gotti III.

With a great night of fights headlined by the rematch, the announced co-main event features former WBC Welterweight Champion “Vicious” Victor Ortiz facing the No. 5-ranked Argentine Rodrigo Damián Coria, a former WBO Latin Champion, who has never been knocked out.

Ortiz, a Mexican American boxing star, known for his power and speed in the ring, had a memorable fight against Mayweather in 2011. In that fight, Ortiz let his guard down to try to make peace with Mayweather after a foul, which resulted in two lethal blows from the American that ended his night. This story adds an element of interest to the night’s co-main event at the CDMX Arena on Saturday, August 24.

The 37-year-old Ortiz, who was born and raised in Kansas, has forged his path in boxing with determination and resilience. Under the guidance of his trainer, Bucky Ignacio Ávila, Ortiz debuted professionally in 2004 and quickly stood out for his aggressive style and knockout power.

In 2011, he secured the World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight title in a tough battle against André Berto, cementing his status as champion.

Beyond his accomplishments in the ring, Ortiz is known for his commitment to charitable causes, supporting underserved communities, and inspiring future athletes. Obstacles have marked his career, but his relentlessness and passion for boxing have led him to overcome each challenge.

Coria, a 25-year-old originally from Mercedes and based in Córdoba, will face Ortiz in this important co-feature. Coria has shown great tenacity throughout his career, standing at 1.78m tall and with a record of 13-5 with 2 KOs. Among his most notable victories are those obtained against Adrián Sasso, Marco García Ovejero, José Alberto Vargas, Roque Junco, and Marcelo Bzowski, the latter two in the United States.

With his complicated style and southpaw status, Coria faces a dangerous and more experienced knockout artist. This bout represents a significant challenge, especially considering Coria is fighting on the road, which adds a layer of difficulty to his counterpunching style, which is not always valued abroad.
