Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is widely regarded as a boxing icon. Considered to be one of the most successful boxers of all time, he is recognized for having one of the longest winning streaks in the sport. He eventually retired with 50 wins and zero losses. He is noted for his excellent defense and extreme accuracy with his punches. Thanks to his successes, he has amassed a net worth of $450 million, making him one of the richest athletes in the world. Today, he has devoted himself to professional boxing promotion.

Before his victories, however, Mayweather struggled to make ends meet during his younger years. Interestingly, he came from a family of boxers, with his father being a former welterweight contender. To help his family, he spent his time and energy on boxing. This eventually led to him dropping out of high school to focus on the sport full-time.
