Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather is the subject of a superb piece in this month’s issue of ESPN The Magazine. The full article, by Tim Keown, is well worth 10 minutes of your time as the writer learns just what it is like to travel with the circus that is the boxer’s life.

Mayweather’s skills in the ring are acknowledged too, and the piece finishes with this superb graphic, showing just how many rounds the 36-year-old has endured in his flawless career thus far.
Next Saturday he fights Canelo Alvarez and Mayweather is red-hot favourite to extend his record to 45-0, just four shy of Rocky Marciano’s record of 49-0. It is claimed that Mayweather wants to get to 50-0 before he retires. If he does, it looks like he will do it the hard way, going the distance.
