Undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather joins music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, film director Brett Ratner, and mind-body healing pioneer Deepak Chopra in launching his own signature MYMAG magazine to provide fans a revealing glimpse into his life and inspirations. MYMAG is a personalized media platform that enables influential personalities to establish a more personal connection with their biggest fans. Essentially, Floyd is collaborating with multiple publications to provide content that he has personally chosen, along with personal content about his lifestyle, friends, and family, to share with his fans. The print and digital publication is launching in the lead up to his May 5th showdown with WBA jr. middleweight champion Miguel Cotto fight.
MYMAG Presents: Mayweather is the company's first in a new limited edition series and will be sold exclusively through the MYMAG website [http://www.mymag.com/?p=1670], with only 2,500 printed. Ship date is May 1st. In addition, to celebrate the launch of the "Mayweather" print and digital magazine, Floyd Mayweather is inviting designers to submit their most creative pattern or color scheme shoe design for a chance to have a pair made, worn and promoted by Money himself.

MYMAG PRESENTS: MAYWEATHER
The first limited edition MYMAG will highlight the prolific Floyd Mayweather and in keeping with the luxurious lifestyle of the champ, this magazine will be produced in a very limited quantity and is destined to become a collector's item for true fans, featuring gold leaf cover lettering and numbered editions.
An oversized, glossy, gorgeous print magazine mixing Mayweather's favorite articles with exclusive content from the man himself- resulting in a picture of the boxer as never seen before.
"I WANT MY VICTORIES to be flawless," says Floyd Mayweatherand this boxer-without-peer has certainly made good on his word. An undefeated five-division champion and winner of seven world titles, the prizefighter has become one of the wealthiest, most reveredand most contentiousathletes alive.
Now, in advance of his epic May 5 bout with Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, comes Mayweather's MYMAGthe most intimate look into his world this enigmatic figure has ever permitted. Mayweather is Las Vegas, and MYMAG is his wingman: Tag along on a private photo shoot, get the scoop on his tight friendship with 50 Cent, devour the amazing story of Sin City's first integrated casino.
His favorite magazine content is all here, too. See the gripping portraits of Method Man, David Banner, Obie Trice and more shot by streetwise photographer Estevan Oriol for Respect magazine. (Why isn't Floyd in the pics? Because the man could hardly have more respect as it is.) Go behind the scenes of the 2008 De Niro/Pacino/50 Cent flick Righteous Kill with a Vibe feature Mayweather couldn't put down. Brush up on your boxing history with vintage issues of the classic magazine The Ring. And feast your eyes on a kinetic "lost weekend" Wallpaper portfolio, playing cards helpfully included. That deck of 52 (and the poker chips alongside them) are the only game of chance you'll get when Mayweather is involved. In Las Vegas, he's the closest thing to a sure bet. And MYMAG, by his side the entire time, is playing with house money. Care to be dealt in?
