Las Vegas, Nev. - Congratulations are in order to Floyd "Money" Mayweather who captured his third ESPY award Wednesday night when it was announced at the 18th Annual ESPY Awards that he won the 2010 Award for Best Fighter. Mayweather won the award previously in 2007 and 2008.

Mayweather beat out Manny Pacquiao and UFC's George St. Pierre to capture the sport honor, which is voted on exclusively by fans via online balloting.  Nominees are chosen by fans, sports writers, broadcasters, sports executives and sports personalities.

 "The fact that the ESPY award is based on fan votes makes it a special honor for me as I have always appreciated the fans who do recognize how hard I work to be the best in the sport," said Mayweather.
