He was born into a family of boxers, his dad was a welterweight fighter, two of his uncles were his trainers, one of them (Roger Mayweather) is his current boxing trainer, Roger has won two world championships. Mayweather always wanted to box since he was young, but he never knew if he would get to that point, reason being.. he lived with his mother for a while in New jersey, most of the time they didnt even have electricity. Alot of people dont know this about him and are suprised when they see everything that he has today. What there also suprised to here is that mayweathers mom was addicted to drugs, including heroin, he also had a aunt that died from aids because of drugs. His dad never really even acted like a dad to him, he was always getting hit by his dad and the onlyplaces his dad ever took him was to the gym to train, floyd thought that his dad liked his stepsister more because she never got hit.
