Honorees included the first female coach in the NFL Dr. Jen Welter, Mayweather’s mother Deborah Sinclair and the first female boxing judge Patricia Jarman.

The breakfast was emceed by star of HBO’s Ballers Jazmyn Simon who opened with an inspirational story of a struggling actress who after over 200 different auditions finally landed her big break.

“It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish,” said Simon.

The event culminated with an inspiring speech by Dr. Welter as she accepted the “Titans of the Trade” award. She spoke about the power of achieving one’s goals, not being afraid to pave your own way and the close bond that sports creates amongst people from all walks of life.

“It doesn’t matter how you get in the door, what matters is what you do when you get there,” said Welter. “It’s a full time hustle to be a woman in sports…but God kept me humble and I just try to do everything I can to be the best I can be.”

Overall, the event was a great success and while Mayweather fight days may be a thing of the past with his recent announcement of retirement, the Titans of the Trade Breakfasts will continue.

“What started as a relatively small gathering of women from all facets of the boxing industry has become a fun outside the box event that continues to get better and better,” said Nicole Craig, Vice President of Marketing and Operations for Mayweather Promotions. “This year we added live entertainment, some extra star power and inspiration with the speeches and attendees. It is great to see that this event continues to just get better and better.”

Las Vegas (September 8) – Mayweather Promotions will bring together professionals from across the sports and entertainment industry on Saturday, September 12 for another installment of the Titans of the Trade: Breakfast of Champions. A Floyd Mayweather fight-day tradition, the semi-annual breakfast aims to create a strong rapport among diverse professionals in the industry and honor those who have contributed to positively to advancing women in the field. Titans of the Trade: Breakfast of Champions will take place at MGM Grand Convention Center and tickets are available for purchase at here.

The event kicks off an exciting day of boxing as Floyd Mayweather will step into the ring for the final time that evening as he takes on Andre Berto at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Titans of the Trade: Breakfast of Champions supports a strong community of professionals who aspire to positively impact the sports and entertainment industry. In bringing together a large group of highly influential individuals on one of the biggest days in boxing, peers and colleagues are able to share stories, network and celebrate each other’s successes.

This year, the Titans of the Trade Committee is thrilled to present awards to honor the following recipients:

Dr. Jen Welter will be honored with the Titans of the Trade award, as she has made history by becoming the first female coach in the National Football League (NFL). She is currently a camp/preseason inside linebacker coach for the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals.

Deborah Sinclair will be presented with the Golden Glove Award. She is the proud mother of 12-time world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather and two daughters Deltricia and Fannie. From the often-difficult circumstances surrounding her family in their native Grand Rapids, MI, to living a fulfilling life in Las Vegas, Ms. Sinclair encouraged all of her children to rise above their circumstances and strive for the best life possible. Mayweather often attributes his extraordinarily successful career to his mother and her message.

Patrica Jarman will receive the Meritorious Award for her contributions to the boxing industry as a judge, amongst many other accomplishments. She is currently an International Boxing Judge, having presided over 130 title bouts around the world including UFC, Muay Thai, Big Knockout Boxing and Glory Kick Boxing fights. On Saturday, September 12, Jarman will judge the highly anticipated rematch between Orlando Salido and Roman “Rocky” Martinez, which will appear on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Andre Berto undercard.
