CURRENTLY ON SALE An in-depth look at the genius mind of boxing's most successful boxer: Floyd Mayweather. Retired with a perfect 50-0 record, Mayweather was a champion at the fresh age of 21. Almost two decades later, he became the only fighter to earn 300 million dollars in one night. In this practical guide, we walk you through Floyd's success secrets. Perfect for aspiring boxers, athletes, ambitious entrepreneurs, and fight fans who would like to learn how to harness their talents. HOW FLOYD BECAME THE BEST EVER BOXER 'The Floyd Mayweather Mind' uncovers the rise of the legendary boxer. Many boxing fans know about his successes, but fewer fans know about the struggles he had to overcome in his early life. This book shows how Floyd combined perseverance with strategy to get through challenges and become the most successful boxer in the sport's history. FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS In 1978, Floyd Mayweather was born into poverty and an unstable home. Growing up, 7 of his family members lived in one bedroom. Floyd's mother was a drug user and his father was a drug dealer. However, with precocious talent that was honed by his father, Floyd felt that he could use fighting as a way to propel himself to a better life. So he left formal education and pursued a career in the noble art of boxing. Despite winning multiple championships as a pro, Floyd struggled to find stardom as easy as he found winning world titles. It was years before he was able to fight in big match-ups and earn mega paydays. In his early years, Floyd was heavily criticized, by not just the media, but by his own promotional team. So how did Floyd overcome this to become the first fighter to earn hundreds of millions of dollars? Floyd Mayweather showed determination that many of the world's greatest legends share. He didn't give up, he created opportunities for himself and he capitalized on them when he had the chance. There was once a time when boxing-commentators laughed at him for thinking he could become as big as Oscar De La Hoya (his former-rival), but Mayweather smashed through their expectations. LEARN HIS SECRETS In this book, we break down the formula of Mayweather's greatness, like nowhere else you'll see. You will learn the steps he took to propel his career. Many fighters have talent, but few are able to harness it the way Mayweather did. And it is fascinating to learn how he did so. The book consists of four sections. Each section covers the different areas in which Floyd Mayweather faced challenges. The four sections are: - Championship Characteristics - Fundamentals of Fighting - Media and marketing mastery - Handling Business The aim of the book is to, not only be entertained by Floyd Mayweather's success story, but to also give you keys to your own greatness. By decoding Mayweather's secrets to success, you will gain vital knowledge that could be applied to your life and career. As a fight fan, you will be inspired by Floyd's rise. You will also understand why he made certain decisions and why he had to adopt a controversial persona. Many people believe that success is given to those who are chosen by lady luck. But by understanding the map of success, you will set yourself apart. After reading 'The Floyd Mayweather Mind', you will be energized with a new work ethic, have a better understanding of business and know how to achieve your boxing dreams.

Former Rolling Stone editor Stayton Bonner ventures inside America's secret illegal underground fight world - and meets its modern-day gladiators. Just when you think you've heard all the grizzled-fighter-taking-one-last-swing-at-redemption stories, along comes Bobby Gunn - the first bare-knuckle boxing champion in the U.S. in more than 120 years. Undefeated through 71 fights, Gunn, 42, rules the circuit, an underground network of pro boxers, mixed martial arts fighters and street brawlers who enter the ring without gloves in empty warehouses and mobster McMansions for as much as $50,000 a night. It's dangerous and bloody and illegal almost everywhere - a secret world run by organized crime. And for Gunn, a devout Christian journeyman boxer using the prize money to put his seven-year-old daughter through private school, it's his only shot at a better life. "Everybody wants to take me down, brother, and make a name for himself," he says. "I've gotta watch my back." Bare Knuckle is a fast-paced portrait of today's illegal underground bare-knuckle world - a Rocky story, only more bizarre, populated by street brawlers, mobsters, and a modern-day gladiator bent on upending America's first sport.
From Jack London to Joyce Carol Oates, The Hurt Business is the ultimate boxing book covering a century of the greatest fighter and the writers who have followed 'the sweet science'. Beginning with Jack London's account of the 1910 championship bout between Jack Johnson and James Jeffries (for which the Call of the Wildman called for and coined the term "The Great White Hope"), and ending with Carlo Rotella's 2002 homage to Larry Holmes ("Champion at Twilight"), The Hurt Business is a near century's worth of rip-roaring reveal. Some of it comes ringside, like Norman Mailer et; some of it comes from the gym, like Pete Hamill's "Up the Stairs with Cus D'Amato"; and some of it comes from so far behind the scenes you feel as if you've been eavesdropping - Thomas Hauser's excerpt from The Black Lights. For fans of Norman Mailer's The Fight or George Kimball's Four Kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran and the Last Great Era of Boxing, The Hurt Business belongs on the shelves of any fan of boxing or sublime sports writing.
