Floyd Mayweather Jr. knows there's one woman who's always in his corner: his mom.
Mayweather remembers the tough conditions he grew up in — his father in prison and the family struggling to make ends meet — and the salvation he found in boxing, which enabled him to help his mom pay the bills.
"My mother always had it extremely hard," Mayweather said in an interview with FightHype.com. "And I love that lady to this day."
Mayweather said for her most recent birthday he bought her a Bentley, though he couldn't remember what kind. (You know you're rich when you can't remember what kind of Bentley you bought.)

"I always want my family to have the best," he said.
