Boxing-Mayweather legacy a numbers game – Holyfield (Reuters)
By Mark Lamport-Stokes LAS VEGAS, Sept 10 (Reuters) – Should Floyd Mayweather Jr end his boxing career on Saturday as planned, his legacy will be underpinned by the extraordinary numbers he has brought to the sport, says former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield. Mayweather has said that his welterweight title defence against fellow American Andre Berto will be his final fight and should he win, as is widely expected, he would match the 49-0 record of former heavyweight great Rocky Marciano. “Mayweather has made more money than anybody else in the game of boxing,” Holyfield, who has been crowned world heavyweight champion a record five times, told Reuters.
