Floyd Mayweather set for latest 'legalised bank robbery'
Floyd Mayweather’s long reign as boxing’s pay-per-view king has been remarkable – not least because it has run well beyond his official retirement – but we have finally reached the end., grandson of a mafia boss: the ‘Teflon Don’ John Gotti who once ran the Gambino crime family in New York.

That was true, to a point. Mayweather’s bout against McGregor, officially his last pro fight but in reality an all-hype crossover contest against an MMA fighter making his boxing debut, was a dazzling success. It is still the second biggest boxing PPV of all time, behind only Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao, and earned Floyd a reported $275million.
