The shooting made Mayweather's bodyguard a hot search word for a while, and the four personal bodyguards protected Boss May at all times like meat shields.
Long
Mayweather's idea of hiring bodyguards began in 2003 by accident. After a match, his team was attacked inside the boxing gym, but Mayweather was not there. According to Arum, it took a long time for the staff to clean up the blood on the carpet, which shows the fierceness of the fight between the two sides. This gave Mayweather a great shock, and he realized the importance of security. For his own safety, he decided to hire bodyguards.

Job requirements
For more than a decade, Mayweather has hired a number of bodyguards, almost all of whom have experience in the police station or FBI, and are very good at security. Mayweather has several requirements for bodyguards: first, to ensure safety, to ensure the safety of their lives and property in all aspects without dead ends; second, good character, several bodyguards have been swept out of the house because of misconduct; third, each performing his duties, Mayweather's bodyguards have specific responsibilities and division of labor.

Four bodyguards
Mayweather now has four bodyguards, all of whom are bulky and weigh 1470 pounds (666 kilograms) combined. Mayweather was worried that her small helicopter would not be able to carry this weight, so he often sat on one of his own when he went out, and the bodyguards took another special model.
Plant: 2.04 m tall, 380 lbs (172 kg);
Wales: 1.98 m tall, 430 lbs (195 kg);
Redick: 2.16 m tall, weighs 400 lbs (181 kg);
Manx: 1.92 m tall and weighs 260 lbs (118 kg).
Human flesh defense line
Each of the four bodyguards had their own specific positions, with Redick and Plante in the front and Wales and Manx in the back. They always wear t-shirts with the words tmt (money team) on them. Clothing sizes range from 3xl to 7xl. Their nicknames were: Cathedral, Big A, Big Bart, and Jethrough. When the four hunks came together, the Mayweather in the middle seemed to disappear.

Strengths
In addition to being tough and burly, these four bodyguards also have their own strengths. Redick looked the most intimidating, he was originally a professional basketball player, through a friend to introduce him to Mayweather, Mayweather at a glance.
Plant was originally a football player, and it took Mayweather some thought to bring him under his wing. Plant didn't look favorably on the job of bodyguard in the past, calling it a "fake cop." Later, Mayweather paid for all aspects of his support, and Plant accepted the job.
The four bodyguards had a working meal together
Wales is good at wrestling and soccer, and is familiar with state gun laws, and he lives just a 4-minute drive from Mayweather's house and is on call.
Manx is a retired heavyweight boxer who knows the history of boxing as well as Mayweather. He was caught by Mayweather while doing a bartender. Mayweather tipped $1,000 at the time, even though he only drank half a glass of juice.

The Great Wall
Mayweather called the bodyguards the "Great Wall." In the ring, he is incredibly powerful, but outside the ring, he also needs protection. Hiring bodyguards is normal for some celebrities, but it's rare for some people like Mayweather to hire hunky bodyguards.
Mayweather is 1.77 meters tall and weighs 68 kilograms. Given his record, his height is usually overlooked. But when he came in and out with the bodyguards, surrounded by the Big Mac's bodyguards, he looked like a child. The president of showtime once commented that with them, Mayweather would not have to carry a pistol with him.
Public places should be vigilant
Work intensity
Bodyguards work intensively and must be on call and vigilant and silent at all times. Working hours are 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, with almost no time to relax. Whether Mayweather goes to the mall, boxing gym or on vacation, they are bound to be around Mayweather. It's like a strong meat shield that keeps potential threats out.
Make a difference
Over the years, bodyguards have played an important role in keeping Mayweather personal and property safe. At the mayweather-Greg press conference, the fathers of the two boxers move, thanks to the bodyguards blocking them; in the pre-match propaganda between Mayweather and McGregor, Mayweather let the bodyguards surround the cannon without a word.
Bodyguard treatment
Mayweather treats bodyguards decently, earning at least $150,000 a year per bouncer. There were always bodyguards in and out, so that Mayweather had no private space, and sometimes the boxer wanted to be quiet, wanted to go out alone, but it was almost impossible. So, no matter where he goes, the "baggage" weighing 1470 pounds (666 kilograms) must be carried with him!
