7 He Never Bets On Himself
According to an article by Business Insider, Floyd Mayweather has never bet a single dollar on himself.
Although some rumors might suggest otherwise, the article quotes sources which claim that the boxer is actually very superstitious about betting on himself, and that’s the reason why he’s never put money on himself to win.
6 He Ate Pretty Much The Same Meal Every Single Day Before The McGregor Fight
We’ve mentioned diet before, and there’s no understating how important this factor is in any type of training, boxing or anything. The phrase “you are what you eat” is 100% true when it comes to athletes, and it should come as no surprise that almost every professional athlete in the world must adhere to a strict meal plan in an almost religious manner.
Floyd is no exception, and he puts everything in the hands of his personal chef. According to the chef, Floyd Mayweather is not someone who favors variety.
According to Esquire, he eats meals consisting of eggs, home fries, grits, bacon, turkey sausage, and ham. But every day, almost without fail, the boxer always has spaghetti with Bolognese sauce.
5 He Is Obsessed With Fighting On Certain Dates
Every professional athlete has certain things that they’re superstitious about. Even if they don’t like to admit it, most athletes have certain rituals and habits that they must do leading up to a game. Whether it’s the way hockey players tape their sticks or soccer players lace up their cleats, everyone has their own special way of doing things before the main event.
Floyd is no different, and for him, dates are apparently very important. When he fought Pacquiao, he made it adamantly clear that he wanted to fight on May 2nd, the weekend of Cinco De Mayo.
He referred to this date as “Cinco De Mayweather,” and even made it an official condition of the fight contract, as Fight Saga reported.
