Floyd Mayweather claims his 50-0 unbeaten record will NEVER be beaten but still wants someone to prove him wrong

FLOYD MAYWEATHER claimed his records in boxing will NEVER be beaten – but still wants someone to prove him wrong.

The American legend retired at a perfect 50-0, surpassing the great Rocky Marciano’s record.

Mayweather also walked away as boxing’s highest-paid fighter of all time, smashing all pay-per-view numbers.

He broke the box office record in 2015, with his win over Manny Pacquiao, 43, selling 4.4million PPVs in the US.

In total, Mayweather generated over £1.2BILLION in box office sales throughout his iconic career.

And now it is all said and done, the former five-weight world champion believes he has set a pace nobody can match.

Mayweather, 44, said on The Pivot Podcast: “In the history books, my name will live forever.

“I don’t knock no fighter, but the difference between me and any other fighter – my records are here to stay.

“Do I wanna see them break my records? Absolutely. But they won’t be broken.”

In 2006, Mayweather made the life-changing decision to leave Bob Arum’s Top Rank stable, paying $750,000 (£553,000) to do so.

‘Pretty Boy Floyd’ soon turned to ‘Money Mayweather’ switching his persona and fighting style to become a box office attraction.

The ring legend believes he ‘changed the whole dynamic’ of how athletes get paid, but revealed impressing his dad Floyd Sr was always his main goal.

Mayweather said: “I wanted my dad to be proud of me first. Before anything.

“When my dad would say that ‘my son will break all the records,’ that stuck with me.

“On top of that, I wanted my own people to be proud of me. There’s nothing like that feeling. I’m more than the ‘American Dream’.

“I’m my own boss. I do what I want to do and I say what I want to say. If I feel that something is not right, then I’m going to speak on it.

“I changed the whole dynamic of how athletes get paid. I’ve been fighting since Michael Jordan was playing basketball.

“I was undefeated from then to now. LeBron James’ career is almost over, and I’m still getting paid.”
