“Tunnel Vision”: Floyd Mayweather Drops Powerful Advice on Why Most People Don’t Make It, But He’s at the Top

Floyd Mayweather knows a thing or two about success, and he’s not shy about sharing his secret. At a public appearance, the undefeated boxing legend adviced today’s generation on what it takes to reach the top. Explaining why most people fail to make it, Mayweather said it all comes down to how people can hone their focus. 

“You got 24 hours in a day. Eight hours you sleep right? And most people work a 9-5 so eight hours you’re working. So we at 16 hours, we got breakfast, lunch and dinner, what are we at 19? It takes you an hour to get ready, so we at 20 hours,” said Mayweather.

“Y’all gotta get focused. I am where I am at because I am focused. Tunnel vision,” he added.

Growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather faced significant hardships, including poverty and family struggles. Despite these obstacles, he channeled his energy into boxing, a sport deeply rooted in his family.

His dedication paid off. Floyd ended his career with an undefeated professional record of 50-0, and earnings exceeding $1 billion. Beyond the ring, Mayweather has diversified his wealth through investments, including a substantial property portfolio.

Mayweather continues to expand his business empire 

A few months ago, rumors surfaced that Mayweather had exhausted his wealth and was looking to do exhibition bouts to make some money again.

Money Mayweather shut down down the “broke” rumors in his classic style — by dropping a massive $402 million on an affordable housing deal in Manhattan. The investment on 1,000 housing units spread across more than 60 buildings in upper Manhattan made it one of the biggest real estate deals of the year in New York.

While whispers about money troubles have followed him since his blockbuster fight with Conor McGregor in 2017, this move speaks for itself.  

Sure, his exhibition fights might fuel those rumors, but Mayweather’s real estate play shows he’s still winning outside the ring. The deal, since it provides affordable housing for those in need, carries a social impact as well.
