Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. was in Dallas Monday to promote the pre-Grand Opening of one of his new Mayweather Boxing + Fitness Club’s Cedar Hill. Hundred’s of fans came out in the Texas heat to get a glimpse of TBE who was recognized by local dignitaries for his contribution to the city and the youth. The event was also attended by the legendary “Lone Star Cobra” Donald Curry and Heisman Trophy winner and NFL Hall of Famer Tim Brown.
Mayweather talked about his recent induction into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame and International Boxing Hall of Fame, his promotional tours in Texas for his fights with the “Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez and keeping active fighting exhibitions in this exclusive Fightnews.com® interview.

A coworker told me that Mayweather had a gym a few minutes from our workplace. I thought he was mistaken, but looked it up after reading this article, and sure enough, he was right. Floyd must be doing pretty well with this venture. Looks like he currently has 75 locations all over the US, with more on the way…..
Yeah the Tampa gym has been there for more than a year. It’s mad expensive tho! lol The fight factory was a much better deal when they were open.
Damn, the Tampa location is right off Dale Mabry I see. Also one in Largo and St. Pete. I had no idea.
Man, Money May is Money May to the end. What a interview!! Wow fightnews!!
Exclusive!!! LMAO
Bottom line…Floyd loves the spotlight either in or outside the ring.
– That’s another 1 minute and 18 seconds that I’ll never get back.
– Useless questions and answers.
Gary G. Yet you took the time to write a comment on here. The passionate haters of Floyd never tire of complaining.

– You are barking up the wrong tree, Rover.
– Take care.
Good for boxing. With this many locations, the chances for kids going into boxing increases. See, there’s some good in everything.
Mr Mayweather open one in San antonio
Too bad he doesn’t have any tack about himself
Always good to see Floyd. What a great fighter. So fortunate to have witnessed his career during my lifetime. Anybody want to see a Sweet Science genius at work, just watch his fight against Arturo Gatti.
I beg to differ.I watched Floyd’s whole career .Great boxer puncher yes great defensive genius yes.great business man yes.But the word fighter you use I describe that a little different
