  • O’Malley, 29, avenged his only loss in a 20-fight career with a unanimous decision win over Marlon Vera.
  • Floyd Mayweather, 47, retired with an undefeated record of 50 wins, including a victory over Conor McGregor in August 2017.

It seems Floyd Mayweather Jr. is taking it easy on a lavish European vacation. Some time ago, the undefeated former champion shared snapshots and clips of him enjoying a card session with a bunch of friends aboard a train in France. The boxing legend, now active in the exhibition boxing circuit post-retirement, last dueled John Gotti III in a controversial event.

The world’s richest boxer enjoys his downtime at exotic locales. Usually, he prefers to jet set on one of his priced Gulfstreams to reach the destination. However, as his post conveyed, for a change, he decided to give some time off to his pilot crew. Thus, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and the gang headed to the ‘City of Love’ on one of the best-operated train systems in the world. From the looks of it, they appeared to have taken the world-famous Train à Grande Vitesse, or TGV.Floyd Mayweather: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more
In the post, Floyd Mayweather Jr. wrote, “I gave my pilots a couple of days off, and 15 of us hopped on a train to Paris to move around a little bit!” The first clip showed him sitting by the window seat with cards spread out in hand. A few bundles of bills decked the table. A friend, seated diagonally across the table, distributed the pieces. As the game progressed, they randomly picked the cards from the draw pile and arranged them alongside the one in hand.

There are very few in the boxing world who flex their wealth like Floyd Mayweather can! The retired billionaire boxer can often be found showing glimpses of his bottomless wealth on social media. However, his recent trip to a resort on his $50 million private jet, Air Mayweather, has taken his billion status to a whole new level.

Known for his extravagant spending habits and love for expensive jewelry, ‘Money’ Mayweather never shies away from having a good time. So, when he decided to take a trip to a snowy country recently, he saw it fit to share the life update with his devoted followers online. The retired boxing legend hopped on social media today to share some pictures and videos from his trip abroad.

Turning to Instagram, Mayweather informed his followers, “When I see fly places on social media, I don’t research it. I just hop on my jet and go see it!” In the post, Mayweather attached several candid pictures of himself, along with what seemed like some fun clips from the trip. However, none of it would have been possible without his jet, which he did not fail to mention. According to Mayweather, he visited a resort in France named ‘Courchevel 1850.

Mayweather identified Jaron Ennis as the prime candidate to try and dethrone the pound-for-pound king of boxing.

He took his stance on the grounds of Crawford not being able to land a bout against Canelo Alvarez or a rematch with Errol Spence Jr.

Now seven months removed from his seventh-round knockout of Spence Jr., Mayweather thinks that Crawford and Ennis is next up on the itinerary.

The Money Team founder sat down for an interview with Fight Hype and gave sound reason for a Crawford and Ennis welterweight contest:

“Somebody’s got to give ‘Boots’ the opportunity. It’s been difficult for Terence Crawford to get the Spence rematch done, it’s been difficult to get the Canelo fight done, so his other option is to fight ‘Boots’ Ennis,” Mayweather said

‘Boots’ Ennis possesses the speed, flash, and technical skills to bother Crawford. He’d also be the last major pugilist at 147 pounds for Crawford to potentially best before moving up in weight, which he’s long desired.

Mayweather also drew from his fight with Canelo Alvarez back in 2013. He stated that giving Alvarez a chance helped boost his profile. Win or lose, Ennis is at a juncture in his career where a strong performance against Crawford would similarly pay immeasurable dividends.

In the realm of boxing, where strength and strategy intertwine, few individuals achieve the level of greatness possessed by Floyd Mayweather Sr. This American boxing trainer and former boxer is a true living legend, with a remarkable net worth of $5 million, which he accumulated through his illustrious sporting career and subsequent triumphant training ventures.

From the moment Mayweather Sr. stepped into the ring in 1974 until his well-earned retirement in 1990, he mesmerized audiences with his extraordinary talents. With an aura of invincibility surrounding him, Mayweather Sr. crafted an impressive record that many pugilists would envy. His awe-inspiring track record boasts 28 wins, only six losses, and a solitary draw – a testament to his unwavering determination and relentless drive for success.

However, it was upon waving goodbye to his own gladiatorial pursuit that Mayweather Sr.’s true journey began. Transcending from a formidable competitor to a trailblazing mentor, he emerged as one of the most celebrated trainers in the realms of professional boxing. Fighters sought after his invaluable expertise and guidance, drawn by his reputation for transforming raw talent into greatness.

Mayweather Sr.’s immense knowledge and contagious passion propelled him to work alongside some of the most esteemed figures in the sport. Notable fighters such as Chad Dawson and Joan Guzman entrusted their careers to his seasoned tutelage. It is little wonder why these remarkable athletes sought solace under Mayweather Sr.’s watchful eye – they recognized that being coached by this virtuoso was akin to gaining access to an inexhaustible reservoir of wisdom.

On November 19, 2005, Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought his first welterweight fight. Four months later, he would win his first championship belt in the division. But in that duration, on February 4, 2006, an era came to an end. One of the greatest boxers in history, Thomas Hearns, finally hung up his gloves.

Mayweather Jr. retired nearly a decade later. But many can’t help but pose an intriguing question. Towards the twilight years of his career, Hearns fought in the cruiserweight and lightweight divisions. However, he commenced his career as a welterweight. So what would have happened if the two greats had collided as 147-pounders? Who would have won? A former champion seems certain of the route this gripping square-off would have taken.
Floyd Mayweather versus Tommy ‘The Hitman’ Hearns at 147. Who’s gonna take that one?” Now that’s a million-dollar question. But who would risk the answer? Both are boxing greats and living legends. Where one excelled as a defensive genius, the other relished pummeling opponents with a relentless attack. After spending nearly 20 years inside the ring, Mayweather Jr. retired with an unbeaten record.

It is what it is, y’all. ‘Hitman’ takes that. It is what it is.” He said this during the interview. He shared that he had gone through ‘The Hitman’s career right from his amateur days. Hence, according to Porter, he had never been as skilled as many expected him to be, despite all the boxing he had been doing since a young age.

Floyd Mayweather has long made it a practice of flaunting his lavish wealth, and over the recent Super Bowl weekend that included taking to Instagram to tout the $1.1 million he said he spent on luxury Super Bowl suite tickets for himself and 34 friends. But it also included a post about a much larger expenditure, and one that was almost certainly less fun, unless he was rooting for the 49ers: a check to the IRS totaling more than $18 million.

Mayweather started up with a post about his Super Bowl plans with the following caption:

“Just before I paid that light million and change for that little Super Bowl stuff,” Mayweather posted. “I had to pay the IRS aka Uncle Sam $18,047,181. This is what I owed in taxes while I’m retired so just imagine what I was paying when I was activated.”

Mayweather might be retired from boxing but a tax bill like that shows he’s still making plenty of money from endorsements and other investments. Fortunately for him and his inner circle, he seems to still be doing OK, although it might make you wonder how many more people he could have taken to the Super Bowl if he didn’t have taxes to worry about.

It’s true that Logan Paul, at 6-foot-2 and around 200 pounds, will have some 50 pounds and 6 inches on Floyd Mayweather Jr. when they share a boxing ring on Feb. 20, 2021. But while Mayweather has spent 43 years on this spectacle-spinning planet, while Paul is just 25 years old, the boxing legend seems worried to think about his fight with the former YouTuber. How might boxing benefit? This latest showcase of celebrity fisticuffs could help indoctrinate a new generation into the joys of jabs. On the other hand, it could plunge boxing’s long history of farcical spectacles to a whole new depth of degradation.
