Floyd ‘Money Bags Woman Hater’ Mayweather, a man with a bank account as long and storied as his domestic violence rap sheet. Now, for the final time, he will step into the ring and chalk up one more monster pay day before hanging up his gloves.
Floyd will face off against Andre Berto on September 12 in what promises to be an historic occasion, with this below from TIME:
Mayweather (48-0, 26 knockouts) will defend his welterweight world titles against Berto (30-3, 23 knockouts), in an attempt to match the late heavyweight champion Rocky Maricano’s 49-0 record. Showtime pay-per-view will broadcast the fight from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas, but of course. Floyd took the opportunity to once again sing his own praises:
“I’m ready to get back in the ring on September 12 and prove again to the whole world why I’m ‘The Best Ever’ … Forty-eight have tried before and on September 12, I’m going to make it 49.”
The fight was officially announced on his Instagram account.
Berto also made the obligatory ‘I’m coming for you’ noise after the official announcement:
Best believe that I plan to bring it to Floyd and I’m not concerned about what 48 other fighters have been unable to do…Somebody is getting knocked out and it won’t be me.
I hope you’re right my friend, here’s one happy ending I won’t be rooting for.
