The world recently got a taste of this when Floyd Mayweather, one of boxing’s greatest, decided to swap his punches for prose. What was surprising, however, wasn’t just the rare glimpse into the mind of Mayweather outside the ring. It was also the bewildering aftermath of his Instagram post – a post so powerful that it caused fans to momentarily forget the recent, ugly brawl with John Gotti III that had threatened to mar Mayweather’s legacy.

So, if you’re wondering what the hubbub is about or simply want to know how a retired boxing legend can still dictate narratives outside the ring, stay tuned. Sometimes, the ring can extend beyond the ropes, into social media and the hearts of fans worldwide.
