The Billion Dollar Fighter



The Billion Dollar Fighter

Floyd "Money" Mayweather brings his illustrious boxing career to a close after a 10th round knockout of Connor McGregor, MMA's two Division World Champion. As he has his entire career, Floyd gave the fans what they wanted to see. 

It wouldn't go the distance. Floyd repeatedly told the world that it wouldn't and it didn't.

For 21 years Floyd has given the fans what they wanted to see but in all honestly, fans were hoping to see Floyd lose...something he has never done in his professional boxing career. Floyd took the desire of the fans hate and envy and made professional boxers, future hall of fame boxers look foolish while making himself the highest paid athlete, the first billion dollar fighter ever!!!

God has only made one thing perfect and that is Floyd Mayweathers boxing record. 50-0

For years Floyd has done charitable work in his community, provided opportunities for others and made the lives of many better. His last act put himself and his children and their children in position to live comfortably for the foreseeable future. What is most impressive about it all is that Floyd Money Mayweather did it his way.

Floyd Mayweather arguably the pound for pound best fighter to ever lace up the gloves will undoubtedly be inducted to the boxing hall of fame but what is as equally impressive is the way he not only changed the sport of boxing but how he changed sports in general. LeBron James and other world class elite athletes has emulated Floyd's business blueprint and for the first time in sports, we are seeing athletes build billion brands that they now know how to leverage and cash in on thanks to Floyd "Money" Mayweather. 

As someone who has watched Floyd's entire career inside and outside the ring, I remain inspired by his work ethic and his ability to take control of his career while taking over the sport of boxing. 

Their will never be another Floyd Mayweather in the sport of boxing, not inside the ring or outside of it. The Best Ever of our generation. Lets just call it what it is.

Well done Money May. Congrats on a successful career.

Chamillionaire: How He Could Afford That ‘NBA Finals’ Courtside Seat And Much More!!!

Chamillionaire, former rapper turned tech giant With all due respect, Chamillionaire never has to record another song, make a rap or listen to music ever again for the rest of his life.  No, it’s not due to ringtones either. Can we say… SILICON VALLEY, CALIFORNIA?  Just the location, alone, you see what I’m getting at, right? Although Hakeem “Chamillionaire” Seriki has chosen to keep his “urban” look and rapper image, he’s gone “tech.” And trust, his money is longer than every rapper in the industry. Why??? Because of Investments !!! According to Chamillionaire, at his office in Silicon Valley, all kinds of people come through to talk to him — from “scientists, Ivy League graduates, people who have brilliant ideas and ‘people who are just winging it’,” says the known rapper. Where are they now… Sure, it has been years since Chamillionaire has had a hit song. Probably the last worldwide song people knew was “Ridin’.” Remember? Well, at one point, yes

Why I Became An Investor

Chris Sain Jr. Top 40 under 40 Business Leader The Why My dad was and is to this day, the best businessman I have ever known . I am certain that over the course of his lifetime he earned well over a million dollars. I am not at all saying he or we, as a family were millionaires, in fact we were your average, maybe above average middle class family, but his business acumen took him very far in life as a businessman.   Me on the other hand had no business acumen. As a kid, my dad told me to play and to have fun and to worry about work when I became an adult. My father instructed my brother and I to do this because growing up he didn't have much of a childhood and wanted different for us. So, as a kid, you listen to your dad. To be fortunate enough to actually have a dad in the home, you listen even more when your dad tells you something. So... Play is what I did.  I played so much I became one of the best athletes to come out of Grand Rapids, Mich.... (read a
