The fans booed throughout the match. Promoter [[Sterling McPherson]] said afterwards, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t know what people were looking for. We weren&#039;t trying to fool anyone or pull the wool over anyone&#039;s eyes. This was an exhibition. People boo at real fights... this isn&#039;t about him beating anybody up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

*Tyson converted to Islam while he was in prison. His Muslim name is Malik Abdul Aziz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Quotes==&lt;br /&gt;
*“Everybody has a plan until they get hit.”&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I always try to catch them right on the tip of the nose because I try to push the bone into the brain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;He (Wallace Matthews) called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse’. I’m not a recluse.”&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I&#039;m on the Zoloft to keep me from killing y&#039;all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I&#039;m not Mother Teresa, but I&#039;m not Charles Manson, either.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Lennox Lewis, I&#039;m coming for you, man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I&#039;m just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I guess I&#039;m gonna fade into Bolivian.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;You&#039;re smart too late and old too soon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

The fans booed throughout the match. Promoter [[Sterling McPherson]] said afterwards, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t know what people were looking for. We weren&#039;t trying to fool anyone or pull the wool over anyone&#039;s eyes. This was an exhibition. People boo at real fights... this isn&#039;t about him beating anybody up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Quotes==&lt;br /&gt;
*“Everybody has a plan until they get hit.”&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I always try to catch them right on the tip of the nose because I try to push the bone into the brain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;He (Wallace Matthews) called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse’. I’m not a recluse.”&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I&#039;m on the Zoloft to keep me from killing y&#039;all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I&#039;m not Mother Teresa, but I&#039;m not Charles Manson, either.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Lennox Lewis, I&#039;m coming for you, man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I&#039;m just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I guess I&#039;m gonna fade into Bolivian.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;You&#039;re smart too late and old too soon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Deontay Wilder&#039;&#039;&#039; (b. Tuscaloosa, Ala. October 22, 1986) is an American boxer best known for winning two major amateur national titles in 2007 and for winning a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The very tall 6&#039;7&amp;quot; Wilder, who possesses a bomb of a right hand, hails from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He started boxing in October 2005 and seemingly came out of nowhere in 2007 (just 14 bouts going in) to upset the favorites and win both the National Golden Gloves and the U.S. Championships at 201 lbs (91 kg).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the National Golden Gloves, he defeated highly touted Cadet World Champion [[Isiah Thomas]], a southpaw from Detroit and [[David Thompson]], of Brooklyn, N.Y., in the finals. At the U.S. Championships, he defeated [[Quantis Graves]], and won the final, 31-15, over southpaw [[James Zimmerman]] of San Jose, Calif.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the U.S. Olympic Trials, he beat Graves two more times and won the Trials with only 21 bouts. In the first round of the 2007 World Championships, he dropped a 20-23 decision to Poland&#039;s [[Krzysztof Zimnoch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early in 2008, he scored a career best win by edging out World Championships silver medalist [[Rakhim Chakhiyev]] in Russia in a Duals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He qualified for the Olympics by beating [[Deivis Julio]] 6-5, [[Jorge Quinones]] from Ecuador on double countback, and Brazilian [[Rafael Lima]] 6-5 at the qualifier. In each bout he was trailing going into the final round.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is managed by [[Jay Deas]] and formerly [[Shelly Finkel]]. He is trained by former welterweight champion [[Mark Breland]], &#039;who moved from Brooklyn, New York to Northport, Alabama to train Deontay&#039;. He is promoted by [[Oscar De La Hoya]]&#039;s [[Golden Boy Promotions]]. &lt;br /&gt;

== Amateur Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Demetrius Andrade&#039;&#039;&#039; (pronounced &amp;quot;AN-draid&amp;quot;) is a light middleweight boxer from the United States. He is trained by David Keefe and his father, Paul Andrade. A Providence, Rhode Island native of Cape Verdean descent, Andrade began boxing in 1994 at the age of 6. He won a gold medal in the 2002 National Silver Gloves (12-13 age category) at 112 lbs. He also competed in the 2003 (138 lbs.) and 2004 (154 lbs.) National Junior Olympics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andrade won the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships in 2005, and repeated in 2006 when he also won the National Golden Gloves. He again won the National Golden Gloves in 2007, but did not compete in the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships that year due to injury. Andrade initially struggled at the international level, losing to Eastern European opponents at the 2005 and 2006 Boxing World Cup. However, he won the silver medal at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, losing in the gold medal match to Brazilian hometown favorite [[Pedro Lima]] by a narrow 7-6 margin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andrade won the gold medal at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships, becoming the first American to do so since 1999, where he beat [[Adem Kilicci]] in the semifinals and then battered [[Manon Boonjumnong]] of Thailand in the finals, a match in which Andrade inflicted a [[standing eight-count]] and was leading by a score of 10-1 after only one round when Boonjumnong retired with an injury. By finishing in the top eight in his weight class, Andrade immediately qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br clear=all&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Amateur Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Russell, who has six boxing brothers including [[Gary Jones]], started boxing in 1995. In 2004, he became a National Junior Olympics Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 at age 16, he won both the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships and the National Golden Gloves. He became one of only two boxers to win both the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships and the National Golden Gloves before his 17th birthday. In October 2005, the small southpaw boxer-puncher had an amateur record of 163-10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2005 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Mianyang, the bantamweight (119 lbs.) beat Bulgarian [[Detelin Dalakliev]], 25-21, in the first round; dec. Canadian [[Tyson Cave]], 22-9, in the second round; dec. Jordanian [[Al Gharaghir Ibrahim]], 34-13, in the quarterfinals before losing to German [[Rustamhodza Rahimov]], 17-28, in the semifinals and winning the bronze medal at age 17 (joining [[Rau&#039;shee Warren]]). He was named the 2005 USA Boxing Athlete of the Year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He repeated his national title win in 2006, but at the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships in 2007, he was injured. He has broken his hands in the past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2007 U.S. Olympic Trials, he sensationally lost to [[Robert Marroquin|Roberto Marroquin]] in his first fight, 17-18, his first defeat to a countryman in eight years, but beat him twice later and bested national champion Rios to qualify. Russell became only the fourth boxer in U.S. team history to lose in the opening round and rebound to win his weight class, the others were [[Evander Holyfield]], [[Roy Jones Jr.]], and [[Floyd Mayweather Jr.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Chicago, he beat [[Ali Hallab]] to qualify for the Olympics but was beaten soundly by Russia&#039;s eventual winner [[Sergey Vodopyanov]], 6-16, and didn&#039;t medal. Russell&#039;s quest for an Olympic medal in 2008 ended prematurely as he missed the Olympic weigh-in hours after losing consciousness in his Olympic Village dorm room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br clear=all&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds… his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br clear=all&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds… his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds… his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br clear=all&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds… his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br clear=all&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds… his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds… his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Deontay Wilder&#039;&#039;&#039; (b. Tuscaloosa, Ala. October 22, 1986) is an American boxer best known for winning two major amateur national titles in 2007 and for winning a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The very tall 6&#039;7&amp;quot; Wilder, who possesses a bomb of a right hand, hails from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He started boxing in October 2005 and seemingly came out of nowhere in 2007 (just 14 bouts going in) to upset the favorites and win both the National Golden Gloves and the U.S. Championships at 201 lbs (91 kg).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the National Golden Gloves, he defeated highly touted Cadet World Champion [[Isiah Thomas]], a southpaw from Detroit and [[David Thompson]], of Brooklyn, N.Y., in the finals. At the U.S. Championships, he defeated [[Quantis Graves]], and won the final, 31-15, over southpaw [[James Zimmerman]] of San Jose, Calif.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the U.S. Olympic Trials, he beat Graves two more times and won the Trials with only 21 bouts. In the first round of the 2007 World Championships, he dropped a 20-23 decision to Poland&#039;s [[Krzysztof Zimnoch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early in 2008, he scored a career best win by edging out World Championships silver medalist [[Rakhim Chakhiyev]] in Russia in a Duals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He qualified for the Olympics by beating [[Deivis Julio]] 6-5, [[Jorge Quinones]] from Ecuador on double countback, and Brazilian [[Rafael Lima]] 6-5 at the qualifier. In each bout he was trailing going into the final round.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is managed by [[Jay Deas]] and formerly [[Shelly Finkel]]. He is trained by former welterweight champion [[Mark Breland]], &#039;who moved from Brooklyn, New York to Northport, Alabama to train Deontay&#039;. He is promoted by [[Oscar De La Hoya]]&#039;s [[Golden Boy Promotions]]. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

The fans booed throughout the match. Promoter [[Sterling McPherson]] said afterwards, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t know what people were looking for. We weren&#039;t trying to fool anyone or pull the wool over anyone&#039;s eyes. This was an exhibition. People boo at real fights... this isn&#039;t about him beating anybody up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*Desiree Washington, a Miss Black America contestant, charged that Tyson raped her in an Indianapolis hotel room on July 19, 1991. He was found guilty on one count of rape and two counts of criminal deviate conduct on February 10, 1992. Tyson served three years in prison. &lt;br /&gt;

*Tyson converted to Islam while he was in prison. His Muslim name is Malik Abdul Aziz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Quotes==&lt;br /&gt;
*“Everybody has a plan until they get hit.”&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I always try to catch them right on the tip of the nose because I try to push the bone into the brain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;He (Wallace Matthews) called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse’. I’m not a recluse.”&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I&#039;m on the Zoloft to keep me from killing y&#039;all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I&#039;m not Mother Teresa, but I&#039;m not Charles Manson, either.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Lennox Lewis, I&#039;m coming for you, man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I&#039;m just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I guess I&#039;m gonna fade into Bolivian.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;You&#039;re smart too late and old too soon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

[[The Ring Magazine|&#039;&#039;The Ring&#039;&#039;]] magazine&#039;s &amp;quot;Fighter of the Year&amp;quot; Award is a gold and silver medal given to the boxer, who, during the year previous, has by his conduct and fighting qualities &amp;quot;earned the esteem of the sports public.&amp;quot; The four points which originally governed the award were:&lt;br /&gt;
*1) He must be foremost in his contribution to the skill and the science of boxing and he need not be a champion.&lt;br /&gt;
*2) The recipient must combine with his high place in the ranking of fighters a similar position as a sportsman.&lt;br /&gt;
*3) He must associate with the abilities as a fighter good public relations and a reputation for clean and moral living.&lt;br /&gt;
*4) The boxer receiving the award must be recognized as an example to the growing American youth.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br clear=all&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Amateur Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Russell, who has six boxing brothers including [[Gary Jones]], started boxing in 1995. In 2004, he became a National Junior Olympics Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 at age 16, he won both the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships and the National Golden Gloves. He became one of only two boxers to win both the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships and the National Golden Gloves before his 17th birthday. In October 2005, the small southpaw boxer-puncher had an amateur record of 163-10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2005 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Mianyang, the bantamweight (119 lbs.) beat Bulgarian [[Detelin Dalakliev]], 25-21, in the first round; dec. Canadian [[Tyson Cave]], 22-9, in the second round; dec. Jordanian [[Al Gharaghir Ibrahim]], 34-13, in the quarterfinals before losing to German [[Rustamhodza Rahimov]], 17-28, in the semifinals and winning the bronze medal at age 17 (joining [[Rau&#039;shee Warren]]). He was named the 2005 USA Boxing Athlete of the Year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He repeated his national title win in 2006, but at the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships in 2007, he was injured. He has broken his hands in the past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2007 U.S. Olympic Trials, he sensationally lost to [[Robert Marroquin|Roberto Marroquin]] in his first fight, 17-18, his first defeat to a countryman in eight years, but beat him twice later and bested national champion Rios to qualify. Russell became only the fourth boxer in U.S. team history to lose in the opening round and rebound to win his weight class, the others were [[Evander Holyfield]], [[Roy Jones Jr.]], and [[Floyd Mayweather Jr.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Chicago, he beat [[Ali Hallab]] to qualify for the Olympics but was beaten soundly by Russia&#039;s eventual winner [[Sergey Vodopyanov]], 6-16, and didn&#039;t medal. Russell&#039;s quest for an Olympic medal in 2008 ended prematurely as he missed the Olympic weigh-in hours after losing consciousness in his Olympic Village dorm room.&lt;br /&gt;

== Amateur Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Demetrius Andrade&#039;&#039;&#039; (pronounced &amp;quot;AN-draid&amp;quot;) is a light middleweight boxer from the United States. He is trained by David Keefe and his father, Paul Andrade. A Providence, Rhode Island native of Cape Verdean descent, Andrade began boxing in 1994 at the age of 6. He won a gold medal in the 2002 National Silver Gloves (12-13 age category) at 112 lbs. He also competed in the 2003 (138 lbs.) and 2004 (154 lbs.) National Junior Olympics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andrade won the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships in 2005, and repeated in 2006 when he also won the National Golden Gloves. He again won the National Golden Gloves in 2007, but did not compete in the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships that year due to injury. Andrade initially struggled at the international level, losing to Eastern European opponents at the 2005 and 2006 Boxing World Cup. However, he won the silver medal at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, losing in the gold medal match to Brazilian hometown favorite [[Pedro Lima]] by a narrow 7-6 margin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andrade won the gold medal at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships, becoming the first American to do so since 1999, where he beat [[Adem Kilicci]] in the semifinals and then battered [[Manon Boonjumnong]] of Thailand in the finals, a match in which Andrade inflicted a [[standing eight-count]] and was leading by a score of 10-1 after only one round when Boonjumnong retired with an injury. By finishing in the top eight in his weight class, Andrade immediately qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br clear=all&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds… his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;

The fans booed throughout the match. Promoter [[Sterling McPherson]] said afterwards, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t know what people were looking for. We weren&#039;t trying to fool anyone or pull the wool over anyone&#039;s eyes. This was an exhibition. People boo at real fights...This isn&#039;t about him beating anybody up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Quotes==&lt;br /&gt;
*“Everybody has a plan until they get hit.”&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I always try to catch them right on the tip of the nose because I try to push the bone into the brain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;He (Wallace Matthews) called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse.’ I’m not a recluse.”&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I`m on the Zoloft to keep me from killing y`all.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I`m not Mother Teresa, but I`m not Charles Manson, either.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Lennox Lewis, I&#039;m coming for you, man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I&#039;m just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I guess I&#039;m gonna fade into Bolivian.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;You&#039;re smart too late and old too soon.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds…his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;

== Amateur Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Demetrius Andrade&#039;&#039;&#039; (pronounced &amp;quot;AN-draid&amp;quot;) is a light middleweight boxer from the United States. He is trained by David Keefe and his father, Paul Andrade. A Providence, Rhode Island native of Cape Verdean descent, Andrade began boxing in 1994 at the age of 6. He won a gold medal in the 2002 National Silver Gloves (12-13 age category) at 112 lbs. He also competed in the 2003 (138 lbs.) and 2004 (154 lbs.) National Junior Olympics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andrade won the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships in 2005, and repeated in 2006 when he also won the National Golden Gloves. He again won the National Golden Gloves in 2007, but did not compete in the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships that year due to injury. Andrade initially struggled at the international level, losing to Eastern European opponents at the 2005 and 2006 Boxing World Cup. However, he won the silver medal at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, losing in the gold medal match to Brazilian hometown favorite [[Pedro Lima]] by a narrow 7-6 margin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andrade won the gold medal at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships, becoming the first American to do so since 1999, where he beat [[Adem Kilicci]] in the semifinals and then battered [[Manon Boonjumnong]] of Thailand in the finals, a match in which Andrade inflicted a [[standing eight-count]] and was leading by a score of 10-1 after only one round when Boonjumnong retired with an injury. By finishing in the top eight in his weight class, Andrade immediately qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds…his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br clear=all&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Amateur Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Russell, who has six boxing brothers including [[Gary Jones]], started boxing in 1995. In 2004, he became a National Junior Olympics Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 at age 16, he won both the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships and the National Golden Gloves. He became one of only two boxers to win both the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships and the National Golden Gloves before his 17th birthday. In October 2005, the small southpaw boxer-puncher had an amateur record of 163-10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2005 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Mianyang, the bantamweight (119 lbs.) beat Bulgarian [[Detelin Dalakliev]], 25-21, in the first round; dec. Canadian [[Tyson Cave]], 22-9, in the second round; dec. Jordanian [[Al Gharaghir Ibrahim]], 34-13, in the quarterfinals before losing to German [[Rustamhodza Rahimov]], 17-28, in the semifinals and winning the bronze medal at age 17 (joining [[Rau&#039;shee Warren]]). He was named the 2005 USA Boxing Athlete of the Year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He repeated his national title win in 2006, but at the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships in 2007, he was injured. He has broken his hands in the past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2007 U.S. Olympic Trials, he sensationally lost to [[Robert Marroquin|Roberto Marroquin]] in his first fight, 17-18, his first defeat to a countryman in eight years, but beat him twice later and bested national champion Rios to qualify. Russell became only the fourth boxer in U.S. team history to lose in the opening round and rebound to win his weight class, the others were [[Evander Holyfield]], [[Roy Jones Jr.]], and [[Floyd Mayweather Jr.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Chicago, he beat [[Ali Hallab]] to qualify for the Olympics but was beaten soundly by Russia&#039;s eventual winner [[Sergey Vodopyanov]], 6-16, and didn&#039;t medal. Russell&#039;s quest for an Olympic medal in 2008 ended prematurely as he missed the Olympic weigh-in hours after losing consciousness in his Olympic Village dorm room.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br clear=all&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds…his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br clear=all&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
From the [http://www.floydmayweather.com/ Official Floyd Mayweather Website]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Floyd “Money” Mayweather is without question the best and most talented fighter in boxing today. He displays an unprecedented mix of speed, power and natural instinct every time he steps into the ring – a combination that has translated to 43 wins without a loss, 26 knockouts and eight world championships in five weight classes. The future Hall of Famer’s list of accomplishments and accolades is endless and continues to grow each time he adds a win to his impressive record.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year alone, he was named Forbes’ highest paid athlete in all of sports, unseating Tiger Woods for the first time since 2001. He also topped Sports Illustrated’s list of the 50 highest paid American athletes beating out the other top five athletes on the list including Phil Michelson, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in that order. In July, he became a four-time ESPY Award winner as fans once again voted for him as the Best Fighter in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love my life and am grateful for having the talent and dedication to make my dreams come true both with my boxing career and with my life in general,” said Mayweather, who is a father of four beautiful children and a generous supporter of many charities throughout the Las Vegas community where he currently resides. “I knew when I was a young man I wanted to be a great fighter. But it is only through the hours of hard work that I have put into my career and my dedication to the sport, that I have been able to accomplish these goals. I encourage everyone to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s past recognitions throughout his impressive career have also included the Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year, as well as awards from Ring Magazine and BET (Black Entertainment Television) for the same feat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to his athletic ability and business acumen, Mayweather has been ahead of the curve with regard to his social media presence. He is certainly tech savvy. His Twitter account, @floydmayweather, is well on its way to acquiring four million followers, placing him in the top 200 most-followed accounts on Twitter. Mayweather utilized the social media platform to announce his two most recent fights between Miguel Cotto and Victor Ortiz, making him and his opponent trend worldwide. Additionally, his Facebook page has nearly two million fans and acquires thousands of “Likes” with every post. His latest foray into the world of social media is his Instagram account which has acquired hundreds of thousands of followers in its infancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather also dominated the world’s top search engine Google as his name ruled sports searches during the month of May (when he fought Miguel Cotto). The super fight accounted for three of the United States’ top 10 trending sports-related queries on Google. Each of these queries trended higher than searches for any NBA player or team during the 2012 NBA Playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps Mayweather’s most crowning achievement in recent years is his role in instituting Olympic-style drug testing in boxing. He was the first fighter to require blood testing administered by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in order to face him in the ring (which began in 2010 when he fought Sugar Shane Mosley). Mayweather is now seen as a trailblazer in the campaign to make the ring an even playing field. In 2012 alone, more than five boxers have tested positive for steroids who may not have been caught had it not been for the fighter’s foresight and desire to clean up the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his most recent bout which took place on May 5, 2012, he defeated renowned champion Miguel Cotto for the Super Welterweight World Championship. Not only did Mayweather prove his genius in the ring with a near shut out of the tough Puerto Rican warrior, but he proved once again that he is the pay-per-view king, bringing in 1.5 million buys, totaling $94 million. This made Mayweather vs. Cotto the second highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s fight against Cotto was not his only big pay day as of late. On September 17, 2011 he faced the hard-hitting then-WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz. The bout, which ended in a fourth-round knockout, once again showed the sports world why Mayweather is an astute master of the game and the sport’s biggest draw. With 1.25 million buys, Mayweather vs. Ortiz was added to the undefeated star’s list of amazing pay-per-view performances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Ortiz bout, Mayweather fought Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010. He performed brilliantly and dominated Mosley en route to a shut-out unanimous decision victory. The fight was purchased by 1.4 million homes generating $78.3 million in revenue and earned Mayweather $40 million. In the 36 minute-long fight, “Money” earned approximately $1.1 million per minute and his performance summoned scores of celebrities and sports stars including A-listers Muhammad Ali, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx who were among the ringside observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather has also become a crossover star, appearing in the Emmy award winning HBO reality series “24/7” five times. With each appearance, he provided cameras with an all access look at his training and personal life. Not a stranger to media requests and national television, Mayweather has appeared in commercials for AT&amp;amp;T and ESPN, competed on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2007, hosted WWE’s Monday Night Raw, and appeared on WWE WrestleMania XXIV in 2008. These opportunities, as well as the countless others such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and Men’s Fitness and visits to Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis &amp;amp; Kelly and E! Channel’s Chelsea Lately, demonstrates his impact across the sports and mainstream media spectrum as one of the most talked about athletes in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring,” said Mayweather. “My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman, thinking outside of just the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather was born into a boxing family. His father, Floyd Sr., was a former welterweight contender who fought Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncles, Roger and Jeff, were also pro fighters, with Roger – Floyd’s current trainer – winning two world championships during his prime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fitted with boxing gloves while he was still a toddler, Floyd started boxing competitively at the age of seven and his acumen for the game was obvious from the start. He would go on to compile an 84-6 amateur record while earning three Michigan Golden Gloves titles, three National Golden Gloves titles, PAL and National Championships and an Olympic Bronze medal in the 1996 Games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds…his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997 and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against the late Genaro Hernandez for ‘Chicanito’s WBC world championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The highly anticipated fight was no contest, as Mayweather battered the veteran with blinding combinations, pitching a near shutout before the fight was stopped after the eighth round. Floyd Mayweather was a World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As any great champion will tell you, winning a title is one thing, defending it is another, and Mayweather, despite his natural physical gifts, showed his desire for greatness by outworking his opponents in the gym and gaining a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This work ethic paid off as Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), Justin Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12) and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the 130 pound weight class cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship fight against Mexico’s tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. After 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown. Fight fans clamored for a rematch and Floyd answered their call in his very next fight less than eight months later, repeating with a 12 round decision win over Castillo. He went on to defend the lightweight title twice more, over Victoriano Sosa (W12) and Phillip N’dou (TKO7) before testing the waters at 140 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the junior welterweight division, Mayweather immediately made his presence known with a dominating 12 round decision win over former World Champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on May 22, 2004. After an eighth round stoppage of Henry Bruseles to kick off 2005, Mayweather made his debut as a pay-per-view headliner on June 25, 2005, when he walked through the rugged Arturo Gatti, stopping him in just six rounds to win the WBC 140-pound championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather didn’t spend much time at junior welterweight, as he immediately jumped up to the welterweight division to take on the best in yet another weight class. Floyd kicked off his 147-pound campaign with a sixth round TKO of former World Champion Sharmba Mitchell on November 19, 2005, and on April 8, 2006, he would face former friend Zab Judah in a highly-anticipated grudge match that saw Mayweather cruise to an easy 12 round decision win to earn the IBF welterweight title. Not satisfied with just one belt, Mayweather finished off a stellar 2006 campaign with a 12 round near-shutout over Carlos Baldomir to add the WBC welterweight crown to his trophy case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Baldomir, Mayweather rose to superstar status with his aforementioned highly-decorated year in 2007. Immediately following his historic year, he stunned the entire sports world in June of 2008 when he announced that he was retiring from boxing after competing in the sport for nearly 20 years. During his hiatus from the sport, Mayweather found much needed rest by spending the majority of his time with his family while regaining his lost spirit and love for the sport, allowing him to comeback better than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters who ever lived, but I am only willing to do that if I am physically and mentally prepared every time I step in the ring,” Mayweather said. “The break from the sport was good for me, but I returned to boxing to fight the best, and that’s what I intend to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, Mayweather had his true coming out party, shattering every boxing (and in some Oscar de la Hoya, which broke the cases sports) earning record in the book, including his must-see May 5 mega-fight against all-time live gate and pay-per-view earnings numbers. His victory over the Golden Boy earned Mayweather a whopping $25 million from his share of the revenue generated from the 2.4 million households that purchased the fight (a gross of over $120 million).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that year on December 8, Mayweather fought the popular and undefeated British World Champion Ricky Hatton, scoring a 10th round knockout and again earning over $25 million. Mayweather collected over $14,500 per second for his less than 28 minutes of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a 21-month lay-off from the ring, Mayweather returned on September 19, 2009 and thoroughly out-boxed one of his quickest opponents in Juan Manuel Marquez, earning a unanimous decision victory, generating 1.1 million pay-per-view buys translating to nearly $60 million in revenue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mayweather’s last six bouts, he generated nearly $600 million in revenue combined; delivering over eight million pay-per-view buys, making him the one of the highest grossing pay-per-view attractions in the history of the sport. In the nearly 190 minutes it took Mayweather to defeat De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto, he earned over $220 million, securing his place on top earner lists across the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather’s goal to live a rich, full life outside the ring is just as important as success in the ring. He is actively involved with the lives of his four beautiful children Kouran 12, Iyanna 11, Zion 10, and Jirah 8 and regularly visits with his other family members who live near him in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the owner of the Mayweather Boxing Club, the eight-time champion has a gym to call home and invites young future champions to train and learn from him and his uncle and trainer-for-life Roger Mayweather. A point of pride for the Mayweathers, the Las Vegas gym has become a go-to training facility for up and coming fighters ready to make their own mark in the sport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His charities endeavors do not go unnoticed either. Mayweather regularly supports the homeless in Las Vegas, frequently showing up himself to distribute sandwiches and water. Recently he made generous donations to Susan G. Komen Las Vegas Chapter, Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas and Three Square Food Bank, all reflecting his generosity and efforts to give back to those less fortunate and in need. Additionally, he donated significant funds to Las Vegas charter school Rainbow Dreams Academy, which focuses on the “at risk” and underserved population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mayweather is the Director of The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation which was founded in 2007 with the goals of empowering and encouraging community alliances, impacting youth leadership and strengthening family foundations in the Las Vegas community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My desire to give is as strong as my desire to win,” Mayweather said. “I know how important it is to help those who are less fortunate than me. I hope if I continue to work as hard outside of the ring as I do inside of it, I can inspire others to do the same and help out in their communities as well.” &lt;br /&gt;
