    Sinclair was his mother's name. He changed it to Mayweather early in his life.

    they split when he was a baby. if his dad wasn't present at his birth,there couldn't have been an argument against putting her name on his certificate.

    isn't Joy also his dad's middle name?

    Maybe he was a source of happiness.
