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 McGregor
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 gatecrashed a young fighter’s press conference to declare himself the GOAT of boxing following Canelo Alvarez’s win over Jermell Charlo.
dominated Charlo as he defended his undisputed super-middleweight world titles, winning a lopsided decision in Las Vegas.
Undercard action saw Curmel Moton, just 17, make his professional debut as he knocked out Ezequiel Flores in the very first round.
Moton, who is widely regarded as one of the best talents in America, spoke to the assembled media after his victory – alongside his promoter
But the budding starlet’s press conference was hijacked by the former pound-for-pound boxing king as he went on a rant about being the greatest of all time.
The 46-year-old took exception to a reporter calling him ‘arguably one of the greatest of all time’ as he hijacked Moton’s presser to make his feelings clear.
“What are we rating ourselves on?” He said.
“In the least amount of fights, you know, I didn’t have to have 70 fights, or 150 fights, 300 fights.”
The five-weight world champion added: “Did I or did I not beat the most world champions? In the least amount of fights? Who got the highest gate? Who made the most money? Who was the most accurate? It’s basically saying that…”
The reporter agreed with everything ‘Money’ said and ultimately rephrased his question to refer to the 50-0 fighter as the ‘greatest of all time’.
Is Mayweather the GOAT of boxing? Let us know what you think.
