By Edgar Solorzano: Current pound for pound king Floyd “Money” Mayweather is one of the most gifted fighters in the sport of boxing. Many believe he just runs for a great number of rounds to outpoint fighters. Only problem, in the sport of boxing it is nearly impossible to outpoint a fighter just by running. Mayweather has gained power since his 2003 fight against Victoriano Sosa. A fight that Sosa believed he won, even though he only connected 14% of his punches while Mayweather connected 55%.
Floyd earned $2.8 million for his fight against Sosa, yes, that is still more than what Maidana earned for his biggest fight in his boxing career. Only in the sport of boxing can a construction worker build a giant building and earn less if the public is not familiar with his name. Ten years later, Floyd has managed to earn millions of dollars for a single fight, far more than $2.8 million.
