Ladies and Gentlemen, I am Erick Andrews, and I am your host for today on the Mrs. Bessie McMillion show. I am so pleased to be here today and have a chance to introduce our guess speaker Floyd Mayweather Jr. Floyd Mayweather Jr. was born on February 24, 1997 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Boxing has always been in his blood due to his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. and his two uncles Jeff and Roger Mayweather Jr. were all champion contenders with a couple of titles between them during their careers. His father Floyd senior, introduced Mayweather Jr. to the world of boxing in the gym not long after he started walking.

Most recently, Sports Illustrated named him the highest earning athlete in American sports with 90 million in projected earnings. Mayweather Jr. said, “My career is very important to me and as long as I have the desire and ability to be at the top of the boxing charts, I will continue my legacy by competing in the ring. My goal has always been to be one of the best fighters that ever lived, but I also want to be a successful businessman thinking outside the boxing ring and touching as many people as possible while my career is at its peak.” He has successfully taken his star power and moneymaking ability to a whole new level by signing a 30 month 6 fight deal with Showtime.

    Luis Rodriguez Speech

    Rodriguez’s speech means that intellect is not simply defined by going to school and getting conventionally good grades, but by the pursuit of knowledge. He means that education does not end after high school or even college, our minds should constantly be feeding and learning new things so we can continue to grow. Learning is messy, learning contains mistakes, it may look like a series of failures but if you persist you can achieve great things. Learning even looks different on everyone and that is not strange. We can become so focused on just getting by with good grades in school we can forget what an amazing opportunity we have, and when we can access to each other’s minds the possibilities are endless.…

    Athletes Should Get Paid Essay

    Imagine this: you are in the military force, you risk your life on a day-to-day basis for our country's freedom. If you survive fighting, you sleep on an uncomfortable, rock hard bed and eat nauseating food. You work your tail off, yet you actually make less than the average American does yearly. Now, take into perspective, perhaps a professional boxer: they may risk their lives, but it's for our entertainment, not for our safety. When they are done wrestling, they go back to their five star hotels and eat gourmet food. They train, and yes, they may have worked hard to get to where they are, but they're out here making millions per fight, which is way more than what the average American makes. Look closer, should an entertainer really get paid such a profound amount for one fight, rather than those who work to…
