The command Floyd Mayweather tells &#8216;The Money Team&#8217; when ordering them to attack

A man of Floyd Mayweather’s wealth and status never travels solo but the requirements of being part of his entourage are pretty mental.

To be part of Mayweather’s’ ‘The Money Team’ – one must go to extreme lengths to protect the 50-0 undefeated boxer and the upwards £250,000 sums of cash he regularly carries around with him when he’s out and about.

In fact, it’s said that when utters the words “sick them” – his some of whom are said to earn around $150,000-a-year, are expected to go on the attack.

ahead of their money-spinning boxing bout back in 2017.

The guards followed the command and promptly surrounded – with a scuffle ensuing on stage after McGregor’s team leapt to his defence.

As expected, the Irishman did not take too kindly to what happened when asked about the altercation.

“Juicehead fools,” said McGregor, as per

“I don’t know, man. I didn’t even see them until they were on top of me. I was like, ‘what?’ and then everybody was pushing and shoving. But, handbags, we call that back where I come from. It means it’s nothing, it’s just handbags. It’s just a term we use

“We’re having a good time, but I’ll tell you what, if those fucking juiceheads [do it again], I’ll slap the hell out of all of them. If something like that happens at the next one, something will have to happen.”

‘The Money Team’ are widely viewed as merely being Mayweather’s stooges but according to Rod Braswell, who has been friends with Mayweather since 1987, there’s much more to it.

“It’s a collaboration of entrepreneurial minded people that are highly-educated with good common sense,” Braswell told in 2017.

“Floyd looks out for everybody and gives them an opportunity to go forward. Everybody is not meant to go forward, but he at least tries to put you in position to go forward.”

The command Floyd Mayweather tells ‘The Money Team’ when ordering them to attack

Floyd Mayweather’s entourage is one of the biggest and most powerful in the game and there are slew of ridiculous requirements for joining.

‘The Money Team’ are not only tasked with protecting the undefeated 50-0 boxer in public but also the substantial amounts of cash he regularly carries with him.

They are paid extremely well, with

The team also get to travel on a separate private jet as well as receive one or two pieces of jewellery.

But it’s not always an easy ride working for the 47-year-old as he expects his bodyguards to go on the attack as soon as he utters a command.

During the press conference with Conor McGregor ahead of their 2017 superfight, Mayweather shouted at his crew to ‘Form Voltron’.

It sounded like something out of a Marvel movie but 15-time world champion was demanding the TMT go on the attack and surround McGregor.

A huge fracas occurred when McGregor’s team also showed they were game for a scrap

Mayweather, who has had multiple altercations with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, has also been known to yell “sick them” – which also means activating his mob into action.

One of Mayweather’s bodyguards, Alfonso Redick, stands at a ridiculous 7ft and is quite rightly nicknamed ‘Big Church’.

But another of his personal minders, Jizzy Mack – once labelled a “juicehead turkey” by McGrego

Mack previously fought on the undercard of Mayweather’s exhibition bout against Mikauru Asakura over in Japan.

He took on a much smaller opponent in kickboxer Kouzi but was finished off in the third round.

Kouzi put him on the canvas on multiple occasions and after a final flurry of punches, Mack was put to the sword when the referee waved away the contest.

Maybe he was waiting for the order from Mayweather, who won later on in the night and collected a cool £20 million

Floyd Mayweather’s hardest fight ended with a plea for mercy – If you use these WBN quotes, please link back to the source: https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2024/07/18/floyd-mayweather-hardest-fight-plea-for-mercy/

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

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

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

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

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

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

Taking another breath, Mayweather allowed Augustus to work but was still getting caught throughout his attacks, so much so that the ringside doctor looked at Augustus to his disgust. Augustus was allowed to continue but knew taking too much more would end the fight. – If you use these WBN quotes, please link back to the source: https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2024/07/18/floyd-mayweather-hardest-fight-plea-for-mercy/

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

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

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

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

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

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

“But I liked to fight, and I like fighting. That’s probably a bad thing to say. It’s probably even worse to feel good about it, but it is what it is. I am a fighter. I was born to fight. And when I die, I’m going to die with boxing gloves on and a mouthpiece in. That’s my frame of mind. Every time I turn around, I’m fighting for something.”

Emanuel Augustus is undoubtedly one tough man. – If you use these WBN quotes, please link back to the source: https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2024/07/18/floyd-mayweather-hardest-fight-plea-for-mercy/

Floyd Mayweather Went To Buy a New Car, Returned Home With Three

No wonder they call him “Money.” Floyd Mayweather just paid approximately one million dollars for three cars. He went to a luxury dealership and returned home with two Rolls-Royce luxury sedans and a McLaren.

Floyd Mayweather’s latest shopping spree seems to have been quite effective. He took to Instagram to inform his approximately $30 million followers that he brought three brand-new cars into his luxury garage. But before getting them in there, he parked them in the driveway of his home, which he calls “The Palace,” and made a video to show everyone his new “toys.”

He got his hands on a white-over-red McLaren GT, estimated at over $200,000. He’s got another McLaren, a yellow one, in Miami, but he will keep this in Las Vegas.

He also bought a Rolls-Royce Ghost. The Ghost should start at around $350,000. The walkaround video shows the luxury sedan has a red leather interior.

And there is another Rolls-Royce that he could not stay away from: a Phantom with an extended wheelbase. Mayweather points out that it has Gucci pillows for the comfort of those sitting in the back. Floyd “Money” Mayweather says it is no ordinary Phantom, but a special edition for which he paid $700,000.

This means he bought $1.2 million worth of cars within minutes because money roll out of his bank account as views roll into his Instagram videos.

Floyd Mayweather is not exactly the representation of modesty when it comes to showing off. He has been flexing his car collection on social media every chance he gets.

“I’m just bringing you, guys, into my everyday life. You can get mad, this is what GOD wanted!” the undefeated boxer explains.

However, claiming that he bought three cars is not really accurate. Floyd also shows a Mercedes-Benz van with Maybach equipment. It’s got a starlight headliner just like his Rolls-Royces and seats wrapped in orange leather in a lounge-like passenger cabin.

A partition wall separating the area from that of the driver, Apple TV, a refrigerator, and a coffee machine are on board. He bought the van a few days before to his Rolls-Royce/McLaren car shopping stint.

Mayweather retired from boxing in 2017 with an incredible unbeaten 50-0 record, which made everyone label him as arguably the greatest boxer ever to enter the ring. He is the richest boxer in the world, with a net worth of $400 million. So, no wonder he can afford any car out there.

His Gucci Himalaya bag has just arrived and he has to show that off, too. He couldn’t have paid $110,000 for a bag and kept it a secret. He places the bag box on the steps leading into his home, right next to the keys of his luxury vehicles.

In a recent interview with ESPN, the former boxer revealed he owns $15 million worth of cars that he never even drives. That figure just went to $16 million with the addition of the two Rolls-Royces and two McLarens.

The three new entries will probably have the fate of all the others: they will just sit parked in his super expensive garage of his “Palace” in Las Vegas. The fleet reportedly includes 16 Rolls-Royces, three Bugattis, and two Ferraris, among many others. For most of his cars, he pays with cash that he brings in bags

Patrick Cantlay humbled after visit Patrick Tiger Woods’ house and cutting comment

Patrick Cantlay knows exactly how to win the PGA Tour’s annual Player of The Year award, but his tally of one is a long way behind the crown’s record winner Tiger Woods

Patrick Cantlay was left humbled by the great after the American opened up on winning the Player of The Year award back in 2021.

Cantlay enjoyed his back season to date that year, winning three Tour events as well as the FedEx Cup title. In doing so, the American received the recognition of his fellow players too, after being voted Player of The Year by his peers at the end of the campaign.

The latest recipient of the prize who made it back-to-back wins, pipping latest signing and current FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland for 2023.

On the back of Scheffler’s acceptance, Cantlay reminisced about his win back in 2021, opening up on a encounter with Woods, who has 11 Player of The Year awards to his name. Ahead of this week’s Sentry Tournament, Cantlay said: “I’ll tell you a story.

“I went over to Tiger’s house, I think to talk Ryder Cup after I had won Player of the Year [back in 2021], and it felt like a big deal to me at the time that I had got a Player of the Year, and they give you this little Jack Nicklaus bronze trophy.

“So we’re walking through Tiger’s house and we’re in the basement and he’s got like, 11 of ’em lined up right next to each other all in the corner of the basement — boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.” Jokingly, Cantlay then told Woods he was ‘catching up’ following his 2021 win, but he was soon shot down by the 15-time major winner.

“I go, ‘Hey, I’m catching up,’” Cantlay added. “And he looked at me and he goes, ‘You got a lot of work to do.’” The cutting comment summed up Woods’ competitive edge even at this stage – and reminded Cantlay exactly how much the icon has achieved.

In winning the 2023 award, Scheffler was able to equal one of Woods’ great records, becoming the first player since the 48-year-old to win back-to-back Player of The Year titles.

There was some controversy surrounding the vote though, with LIV’s latest coup, Rahm missing out on the award despite winning four times including last April’s Masters. Scheffler too enjoyed a great year, maintaining his spot at the top of the world rankings and winning both the Waste Management Phoenix Open and Hero World Challenge in 2023.

Consistency was key for the world No. 1, who finished outside the top-20 just three times throughout the year, and he believes this is what earned him the majority of the vote from his peers. “I just think it depends on what the guys kind of looked at for their vote,” he responded when asked if he was surprised by the vote at The Sentry.

“I guess this year they really kind of appreciated my consistency. Like I said, I was very proud of that. The way I played the entire year, I think I maybe only had one or two starts that were — that I would categorise as not great, but other than that I had a lot of starts where I just played really solid golf and to do that for an entire season out here I think is very difficult. I’m very proud of that aspect of my game.”

SPAR PACKAGE I sparred Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury but another Brit pair including 19-year-old are hardest punchers I ever faced

LAWRENCE OKOLIE has sparred Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury – but two hitters stand out among the lot.

Former cruiserweight champion Okolie himself is one of the most feared punchers in the world with 15 knockouts in 20 wins.

His long 6ft 5in frame and speed made the 2016 Olympian a sought-after sparring partner for the world’s top names.

Fury brought Okolie into his camp before fighting Deontay Wilder for the first time in 2018.

And AJ sparred with the WBC bridgerweight champ several times over the years.

Joshua now challenges for the IBF world title on September 21 against Daniel Dubois – with whom Okolie has also shared the ring.

And he named Dubois – along with 19-year-old sensation Moses Itauma – as the two hardest-hitters he has come across.

Okolie, 31, told BoxNation: “I think he’s probably one of the hardest punchers.

“Him and Moses Itauma are the two hardest punchers I’ve been in the ring with, whether that’s sparring or fights.”

Itauma is 9-0 with seven KOs and has been compared to a prime teenage Mike Tyson.

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk rematch could have major rule change as WBC push for another alteration

However, several sanctioning bodies and boxing authorities chose not to utilise it.

Ahead of Usyk and Fury’s inaugural encounter on May 18, the WBC demanded video replay be implemented.

After much deliberation, they were eventually permitted to review it during and after the contest although the other three major sanctioning bodies (IBF, WBA and WBO) chose not to use it.

If a decision had been overturned using video replay by the WBC then the IBF, WBA and WBO are unlikely to have accepted the ruling, which would have led to a messy situation

To avoid this from happening in their rematch on December 21, Sulaiman and the WBC are pushing for all of the organisations involved in the fight to recognise video replay.

“Video replay is a rule that the WBC has had for the last few years but it is a complicated situation with the British Boxing Board of Control as they do not accept its use,” Sulaiman told talkSPORT.com.

“However, during the rules meetings of the last fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, we demanded that the video replay be used for the WBC’s sake.

“We will be pushing for it in the Usyk-Fury rematch and every fight we are involved in…

“The Middle East Professional Boxing Commission was the local authority and the British Boxing Board of Control had a lot of influence over them so they were claiming not to have it.

“But in the end, the WBC made it clear that if there was absolute evidence of a major controversy then we would reserve the right to make our own decision using the big screen and correct the ruling.

Former Anthony Joshua Trainer Derrick James Gives Honest Verdict On Tyson Fury Fight

Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury remains one of the biggest fights to be made in boxing despite there being one heavyweight clearly ahead of them.

That man is Oleksandr Usyk, who became undisputed in the division by beating Joshua twice and then Fury earlier this year. ‘The Gypsy King’ has a rematch and both his and ‘AJ’s promoters will be hoping he wins so they can finally stage the all-British clash without any more losses on records.

After his first defeat to the Ukrainian, Joshua left longtime trainer Rob McCracken to team up with Robert Garcia. Upon losing the rematch he moved on to Derrick James, whom he stayed with for wins over Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius. He would be trained by Brit Ben Davison for his next victory over Otto Wallin and confirmed that would be the partnership going forward as he moved into a Francis Ngannou fight.

In an interview with Cigar Talk, James – who remains on good terms with ‘AJ’ – was asked what he thought about his uptick in form of late.

“He’s been who he is. He is the biggest thing in boxing … I don’t think he looks better now than he looked two fights ago. I think he’s getting down, and when you’re getting it down you get more comfortable in what you’re doing, so you’re able to do better.

Competition matters. [Francis] Ngannou was very difficult because you don’t know what he’s gonna do … You gotta be able to be present enough to engage off what he does.”

After Fury struggled and scored a split decision against Ngannou, Joshua knocked the former UFC Heavyweight Champion out in two rounds. Paired with a stoppage over Wallin – who also managed to take Fury the distance – some fans and pundits have been altering their predictions for the clash.

James says Joshua absolutely has the tools to win should it happen.

“I don’t think about how Ngannou fought [each of them]. I seen Fury said styles make fights, and that’s true. But I think that [Joshua] has the ability to beat him, yeah. He has everything, the ability to beat him, yeah.”

As always with this particular match-up, there are obstacles on the path to making it happen. Joshua has the chance to become a three-time heavyweight champion against Daniel Dubois on September 21 and Fury will have his second crack at Usyk on the same day in December.

Carlos Alcaraz laughs off Emma Raducanu question amid wild rumours after winning Wimbledon again

Spotted in the Centre Court crowd for the prestigious occasion was British tennis star Emma Raducanu, whose attendance prompted many to speculate – without any foundation – that the young pair could be an item.

Speaking to the press after the victory, Alcaraz laughed when he was asked about the presence of his fellow 21-year-old in the stands.

Offering his thoughts as to why the Brit had come to watch, he said: “I don’t know, I don’t know. I think a lot of people came to see the final.

“I think Novak and I always put on a good game, a show on the court. I think it is a beautiful game to watch.

“And she is from here, so I imagine that she wanted to come and see it. If there was a Grand Slam in Murcia [his home town] I would 100 per cent go to the final, even if I wasn’t playing.”

But the Spaniard kept things light-hearted as he ended by teasing: “I don’t know if she came to the finals or if she came to see me. Who knows?

“You have to ask her, but I hope she enjoyed the final.”

The more likely reason for Raducanu’s presence is the fact Kate Middleton was in attendance on Centre Court. Asked which celebrity she’d most like to come and watch her play, Raducanu responded in an interview: “Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales – she’s like my idol,” she laughed.

Nevertheless, Alcaraz was certainly in the mood to entertain some more speculative questions as he wrote himself into the history books by clinching his fourth Grand Slam title at the All England club.

In doing so, the world number three is the youngest player to complete the feat, whilst he also joined Roger Federer as only the second player in the Open Era to win his first four Grand Slam finals.

He will now go into the Olympics as favourite to win the men’s singles gold medal. His long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero admitted it will difficult to prepare for the Games on short notice. “We will try,” he said. “It’s tough to change the surface to clay. We have to rest some days and then try to be ready again.”

Djokovic will also be in Paris vying for gold, with that being one honour missing from his enormous collection.

Meanwhile Raducanu was unable to match her male counterpart’s success at the grass court major, exiting the tournament in the round of 16 after defeat to Lulu Sun.

Alcaraz will now turn his attention to the upcoming Paris Olympics which starts later in July, where he will partner sporting great Rafael Nadal in the doubles event, as well as targeting gold in the singles on his Games debut.

In the meantime however, fans will be keeping a close eye on both the Spaniard and Raducanu’s next moves, with many clearly eager for a new tennis power couple.

Tyson Fury told exactly what he must do to beat Oleksandr Usyk in rematch by former foe who caused him serious problems

Tyson Fury will need to use his full repertoire of skills if he hopes to beat Oleksandr Usyk.

The pair are set to rematch on December 21 after the Ukrainian slickster defeated the Brit to become boxing’s first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era in May.

Usyk got off to a good start but was outboxed in the middle rounds by a confident Fury.

‘The Cat’ then rallied in the second half, winning the eighth before dropping and nearly stopping Fury in the ninth stanza en route to a hard-fought split-decision victory.

Before the fight, several members of the boxing fraternity insisted Usyk, a former undisputed cruiserweight champion, was too small to beat Fury.

‘The Gypsy King’ outweighed Usyk by 39lbs on the scales and had a remarkable six-inch height and seven-inch reach advantage over him, yet he wasn’t able to make it count.

Fury’s former foe Otto Wallin believes the Brit needs to make the most of their size disparity if he hopes to win the second fight.

When asked by talkSPORT.com what Fury has to do to exact his revenge on Usyk, the 33-year-old said: “It’s a tough one. Just looking at him, he’s a big guy so he has to keep Usyk off him and outbox him.

“He must keep him away but he’s difficult Usyk, he’s a very good fighter.

“The way he hurt Fury last time was pretty amazing. For a smaller guy coming up from cruiserweight to hurt Fury like that and almost take him out.

“Fury has to be very smart and keep him off him, use his long arms and when he gets close, tie him up and lean on him.

“But he was trying to hold him last time and Usyk got out of it and just kept punching.
