Floyd Mayweather Jr. announces ‘The GOAT’, a docuseries about his life
Floyd Mayweather Jr., who has just defeated Japan’s Mikuru Asakura in an exhibition match, will recount his professional boxing career through a series.
With 50 fights as a professional boxer and an immaculate, undefeated passage through the ring, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has become one of the most important fighters in history. And now, five years after his retirement, ‘Money’ is ready to tell his story.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, the 45-year-old former boxer reported that he is working on the creation of the docuseries ‘The GOAT’, which recounts his life. Video material owned by the fight promoter will be used in the program.
“I want to tell my story from my point of view. The good, the bad and the ugly. I don’t want people to think I left things out and it’s all glory,” Mayweather said. “There are many ups and downs in life every day. There are many problems. Not just for me, but for my loved ones. People will love it. Believe me.”
The creation of the docuseries will have the support of Hidden Empire, an organization that has in its ranks filmmakers Deon Taylor and Roxanne Taylor. Billionaire businessman Robert Smith is also involved in the project.

Mayweather, who has just defeated Mikuri Asakura in his fourth exhibition match after retiring, revealed that in his docuseries, he will recount the difficult youth he lived through.
“Since the beginning of my professional career in 1996 I have been offered a documentary about my amateur career. Like how my dad went to prison. How my mom cleaned hotel rooms and offices to take care of me. What it was like to live in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Seven in a quarter,” he explained. “The story is incredible. Like I said, people will love it.”
