The two-word command Floyd Mayweather tells 'The Money Team' when ordering them to attack

The two-word command Floyd Mayweather tells 'The Money Team' when ordering them to attack

Floyd Mayweather is said to have a very specific command he uses to get his entourage to go on the attack.

Floyd Mayweather is said to utter two words in order to get his crew to go on the attack.

Mayweather, arguably the greatest boxer of all time, has quite the entourage and they are referred to as the 'The Money Team'.

Members of the pack, which includes the 7ft Alfonso Redick, have important responsibilities - primarily being to protect Mayweather when he's out in public and also look after the ridiculous amount cash he often takes out with him.

The team do have their perks as some members are believed to be paid $150,000-a-year, as well as getting to travel on a separate private jet and receiving pieces of jewellery.

"It's a collaboration of entrepreneurial minded people that are highly-educated with good common sense," Rob Braswell, a long-time friend of Mayweather's told the New York Post in 2017.

"Floyd looks out for everybody and gives them an opportunity to go forward. Everybody is not meant to go forward, but he at least tries to put you in position to go forward."

However it isn't quite an easy gig, as it's claimed that Mayweather expects his bodyguards to go on the attack as soon as he says a specific command.

Ahead of a 2017 superfight with Conor McGregor, Mayweather called for his crew to 'Form Voltron'. They proceeded to surround McGregor but his clan also moved in and a scuffle ensued.

The 50-0 boxer has also used "sick them" as another phrase to initiate a similar action. As expected, McGregor did not take too kindly to Mayweather's antics.

"Juicehead fools," said McGregor, as per MMA Fighting.

"I don't know, man. I didn't even see them until they were on top of me. I was like, 'what?' and then everybody was pushing and shoving. But, handbags, we call that back where I come from. It means it's nothing, it's just handbags. It's just a term we use.

"We're having a good time, but I'll tell you what, if those f***ing juiceheads [do it again], I'll slap the hell out of all of them.
