Parents

There is not much information about Justin's childhood and parents, nor has he talked much about his mother. 

He only got to know about his father, a prior great boxer, Floyd Mayweather Sr. 

Since then, he started putting Mayweather after his name and becoming a part of the boxing legend family, including his uncles Roger and Jeff Mayweather.

Siblings

Along with Floyd, he also becomes a half-sibling of Deltricia Tawanna Howard, Fatimah Mayweather, and Fannie Orr.  

Floyd Mayweather, “I am the best boxer ever.”

Justin’s half-brother Floyd shared his inside words of how it’s been crazy nervousness that had been thrown at him, pointing it towards the nine figures. 

Floyd elaborated that he had money thrown at him from many different countries. 

As of the current scenario, he is very loyal to the MGM Grand as he mentioned they had treated him extremely well. Floyd feels blessed to be in this position. 

Floyd added that he had earned tons of money and made smart investments. 

If he gets the itch to come back, it won’t be for the money, but he has to get paid; that’s why he had the nickname Floyd money Mayweather

Lastly, he says he wouldn’t want to say the best part for a pound fighter in this world because he is no longer active. 

However, the best ever is not being cocky and arrogant but just the proofs in the pudding, and he thinks he has the right to call himself TBE

Floyd says that he had lived up to the name TBE by going out there day in and day out when he was active and winning. He also talked about taking a toss of loss before yes in his life. 

Like, when you lose a loved one, that’s taking a loss, when your kid’s hurt, that’s a loss, when you are sick, that’s a loss, but he got to where I got to from a lot of very smart team who is still behinds him; Floyd added. 

Interest in boxing since young?

Well, to let you know, while growing up, Justin developed a keen interest in boxing. 

Also, Justin started his professional training way before knowing about the real identity of his biological father. 

Besides that, he considers Mike Tyson, a boxing legend, his inspiration.

Nevertheless, he didn’t get trained by Roger and Jeff who are his uncles.
