Floyd Mayweather:financial security beats records

Floyd Mayweather will view his success in providing financial security for his family as a greater achievement than retiring undefeated.

Mayweather confronts his most ferocious challenge yet when he faces long-term rival Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday morning to finally determine who is the finest boxer of their generation.

The 38-year-old has cultivated an air of invincibility built upon his unbeaten 47-fight record, but he views the accumulation of a personal fortune in excess of £325million with greater satisfaction than his exploits in the ring.
