However, it’s worth noting that this wasn’t the first time Mayweather and Garcia have been spotted together.

Upon hearing about the surprising pair-up, Ryan’s promoter and Floyd’s former rival took a snide shot at Floyd. Not to mention, it deteriorated Oscar De La Hoya and Ryan’s relationship. On the other hand, Devin Haney has spoken out about the impact Floyd had on boxing.
‘The Dream’ claims Floyd messed up boxing
Though it might not seem like it today, Haney was pretty close to Floyd in the past. However, that doesn’t mean it would stop Haney from expressing his thoughts. While appearing in The Pivot podcast in June 2023, ‘The Dream’ Haney stated, “In UFC those guys fight each other, lose, fight again still equally as big, may even be bigger after a loss…”
