This is not the first time Mayweather has partnered up with other companies. ‘TBE’ has partnered with multiple organizations and promoted all kinds of business endevors from restaurants to cryptocurrencies. However, this announcement coincided with a reminder of Mayweather’s controversial fight tactics.  The talk of his dirty tactics resurfaced as fans recalled his bout against Diego “Chico” Corrales, which took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on January 20, 2001.

Despite expectations of a highly competitive clash, Mayweather delivered a dominant performance that showcased his exceptional skill and precision. However, it was Mayweather’s repeated hits to the back of Corrales’ head that left fans outraged. Throughout the fight, ‘Pretty Boy’s’ punches often strayed to the illegal target area, sparking controversy among spectators and prompting criticism from boxing purists. While the bout showcased Mayweather’s mastery, the use of such tactics left a bitter taste in the mouths of many fans.

A user named Patrick Ramos thought that these punches could get ‘Money’ to lose the fight. “That punch at the Back of the could have made Floyd lose the fight.” he wrote.
