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
