BE: You're 30, so I imagine you're closer to the end of your boxing career than the beginning. After boxing, what's next for you?

MAYWEATHER: It's to keep elevating my business enterprise. I'm going to continue to elevate my business portfolio—inside and out of boxing.

BE: Can you give some examples of ventures you're in or want to get into that aren't boxing-related?

MAYWEATHER: Mayweather Promotions is heavily involved in concert promotions. We recently co-promoted the Beyoncé tour with Alan Haymon. Mayweather Promotions is also co-promoting the Chris Brown tour. The night of my fight, the same night we're promoting Chris Brown in Detroit. So essentially this Saturday, I'll be making money in two places at the same time: in the ring during the fight and monetizing receipts for the Chris Brown show in Detroit.

BE: Sounds like you've had a heck of a year.

MAYWEATHER: I've had a remarkable year. After my fight on Saturday, I'll be the second highest paid athlete in all sports, right behind Tiger Woods. I'm over A-Rod. If I'm not mistaken, he made about $30-something million this year.

I'd heard about his music label and thought he was going to blow his dough in record time but maybe he's going to be OK after all.
