Book Description
CURRENTLY ON SALE An in-depth look at the genius mind of boxing's most successful boxer: Floyd Mayweather. Retired with a perfect 50-0 record, Mayweather was a champion at the fresh age of 21. Almost two decades later, he became the only fighter to earn 300 million dollars in one night. In this practical guide, we walk you through Floyd's success secrets. Perfect for aspiring boxers, athletes, ambitious entrepreneurs, and fight fans who would like to learn how to harness their talents. HOW FLOYD BECAME THE BEST EVER BOXER 'The Floyd Mayweather Mind' uncovers the rise of the legendary boxer. Many boxing fans know about his successes, but fewer fans know about the struggles he had to overcome in his early life. This book shows how Floyd combined perseverance with strategy to get through challenges and become the most successful boxer in the sport's history. FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS In 1978, Floyd Mayweather was born into poverty and an unstable home. Growing up, 7 of his family members lived in one bedroom. Floyd's mother was a drug user and his father was a drug dealer. However, with precocious talent that was honed by his father, Floyd felt that he could use fighting as a way to propel himself to a better life. So he left formal education and pursued a career in the noble art of boxing. Despite winning multiple championships as a pro, Floyd struggled to find stardom as easy as he found winning world titles. It was years before he was able to fight in big match-ups and earn mega paydays. In his early years, Floyd was heavily criticized, by not just the media, but by his own promotional team. So how did Floyd overcome this to become the first fighter to earn hundreds of millions of dollars? Floyd Mayweather showed determination that many of the world's greatest legends share. He didn't give up, he created opportunities for himself and he capitalized on them when he had the chance. There was once a time when boxing-commentators laughed at him for thinking he could become as big as Oscar De La Hoya (his former-rival), but Mayweather smashed through their expectations. LEARN HIS SECRETS In this book, we break down the formula of Mayweather's greatness, like nowhere else you'll see. You will learn the steps he took to propel his career. Many fighters have talent, but few are able to harness it the way Mayweather did. And it is fascinating to learn how he did so. The book consists of four sections. Each section covers the different areas in which Floyd Mayweather faced challenges. The four sections are: - Championship Characteristics - Fundamentals of Fighting - Media and marketing mastery - Handling Business The aim of the book is to, not only be entertained by Floyd Mayweather's success story, but to also give you keys to your own greatness. By decoding Mayweather's secrets to success, you will gain vital knowledge that could be applied to your life and career. As a fight fan, you will be inspired by Floyd's rise. You will also understand why he made certain decisions and why he had to adopt a controversial persona. Many people believe that success is given to those who are chosen by lady luck. But by understanding the map of success, you will set yourself apart. After reading 'The Floyd Mayweather Mind', you will be energized with a new work ethic, have a better understanding of business and know how to achieve your boxing dreams.

Book Description
THE GREATEST BOXING COACH IN HISTORY 'The Cus D'Amato Mind' teaches the principles and philosophies of the great trainer D'Amato, which took young boys such as Mike Tyson and Floyd Patterson to the heavyweight championship in a few short years. THE MAN WHO MADE MIKE TYSON In 1980, a young Mike Tyson was in the Tryon school for juvenile delinquents. By the age of 13, Mike had already been arrested dozens of times, had suffered bullying, and often engaged in criminal activities like armed robbery and house burglary. He was heading down a certain path to death or a life of prison. Fast forward six years later, and Mike Tyson had become the youngest heavyweight champion at 20 years old, after destructively crafting a route to the top. What had happened? How could such a change happen in such a short space of time? The answer is Cus D'Amato. The great boxing coach Cus D'Amato was a revolutionist. He was a modern-day philosopher. He was a leader who changed the lives of those he helped. Cus would literally take juvenile kids of the street, and house them in his fourteen-room mansion. Impressively, he was able to instill them with the character of champions, so they would be able to go out and conquer the world, whether they were fighters or not. Cus D'Amato created champions. LEARN HIS SECRETS In this book, we break down the mental strategies that any fighter (or anyone) can use in order to excel towards greatness. Fighters all over the world are able to acquire trainers that can teach technique. But they are unable to find teachers, like the Cus D'Amato's and the Angelo Dundee's, who can instill them with charismatic confidence, and help them deal with anxiety and fear before matches. The book consists of five sections. Each section is designed to empower you in a different area. The five sections are: * Character * Fear * Anxiety * Resistance * Leadership Without knowing what makes a champion, and how you can become one too, you will never be able to achieve it. After learning what makes 'The Cus D'Amato Mind', you will be more charismatic, confident, with a greater sense of control over your path to boxing greatness.

Book Description
This book comes out of years of reflection, failures, and some successes in the task of reaching out to others with the gospel. Many Christians think of the task of mission as an entirely verbal activity, when perhaps the best kept secret of New Testament teaching about mission is that it involves a whole range of activities that explicitly promote Christ to the world and draw others to him, and only a few of them involve speaking. Without diminishing or downplaying the importance of speaking the gospel, John Dickson shows that, on the other hand, downplaying the range of activities that promote Christ to the world has its own set of problems. It can make those who are not confident about speaking--of anything, let alone Jesus--feel inadequate and self-conscious in the task of reaching out to others. Equally, it can make those who do have a flair for speaking feel as though they are fulfilling Christ's mission just by talking. But the reality is that the Lord wants our whole life, not just our lips, in the task of bringing the gospel to the world. Every facet of our lives can be used by God to promote the news of his power and mercy. In this practical guide to the biblical art of sharing your faith, John Dickson offers refreshing insight into the ways that all Christians can and should be involved in spreading the good news of Jesus. While not all Christians are called and gifted to become evangelists, we are all called to promote the gospel through a wide range of activities--prayer, financial partnership, good deeds, godly lives, public worship, daily conversation, etc.--with and without our lips. As readers engage with this book, grapple with its arguments and hear the stories of people coming to faith, they will be inspired to see the whole of life as significant for bringing the gospel to the world, and they will be liberated out of guilt and self-consciousness in evangelism into becoming perfectly natural promoters of Jesus Christ.

Book Description
Former Rolling Stone editor Stayton Bonner ventures inside America's secret illegal underground fight world - and meets its modern-day gladiators. Just when you think you've heard all the grizzled-fighter-taking-one-last-swing-at-redemption stories, along comes Bobby Gunn - the first bare-knuckle boxing champion in the U.S. in more than 120 years. Undefeated through 71 fights, Gunn, 42, rules the circuit, an underground network of pro boxers, mixed martial arts fighters and street brawlers who enter the ring without gloves in empty warehouses and mobster McMansions for as much as $50,000 a night. It's dangerous and bloody and illegal almost everywhere - a secret world run by organized crime. And for Gunn, a devout Christian journeyman boxer using the prize money to put his seven-year-old daughter through private school, it's his only shot at a better life. "Everybody wants to take me down, brother, and make a name for himself," he says. "I've gotta watch my back." Bare Knuckle is a fast-paced portrait of today's illegal underground bare-knuckle world - a Rocky story, only more bizarre, populated by street brawlers, mobsters, and a modern-day gladiator bent on upending America's first sport.
