Some deals are too good to pass up. Jeff Mayweather admits he never wanted the responsibility of being a gym owner. However, when he was offered a deal just to use his namesake — he once held the IBO super featherweight title and is the uncle of boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr — he couldn’t turn it down.
But his quest to help others wouldn’t allow Jeff Mayweather to solely collect a check for the simple gesture of using his name. He says he will be a staple at the Jeff Mayweather Training Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mayweather and his team are currently creating ways to bring attention to the gym, through various events and kids’ camps revolving around combat and fitness.
Mayweather trained at Floyd’s gym for years. Now has a place that he can call his own. The Mayweather name rings very loud bells in the world of boxing and the state of Nevada, and Jeff’s training center will surely keep that trend going. The 18,000-square-foot gym caters to boxing, mixed martial arts, karate, taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu and strength and conditioning.
