“Hard work, dedication!”
— Floyd Mayweather
Mayweather's signature catchphrase, used in interviews and press conferences throughout his career. It became his personal brand and boxing mantra.
The richest boxer in history grew up sleeping on the floor of a one-room apartment with five other kids. His father was a fighter who once used him as a human shield. His mother was on drugs. He started boxing because there was literally nothing else. He went 50-0 and earned over a billion dollars, and people still called him boring. He never cared. He trained when the cameras left. He ran at four in the morning when the club closed at two. If someone tells you your method is boring, check their record first.
