Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the most successful boxers in the sport. Over his career of more than 20 years, he did not lose a single fight and established himself as one of the greatest boxers of all time. Since his retirement from professional boxing in 2017, he has been active, participating in numerous exhibition fights. As exhilarating as it was in the beginning, his exhibition bouts seem monotonous, and it is safe to say that the boxing world is not happy with it. He recently fought Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers in an exhibition bout in London.

Recently, Mayweather Jr. shared a video of him during the fight against Chalmers. After watching the video, the fans can’t keep their calm and had witty reactions to it.

The former five-division world champion shared a video initially posted by happypunchpromo. In the video, Mayweather Jr. is seen sitting on the ropes and talking to his team at the ringside. The video shows how calm Mayweather Jr. was during the bout. The caption in the video reads, “Floyd ain’t got no worries.”

Meanwhile, this bout was the biggest for Aaron Chalmers in his professional career. Not everyone gets an opportunity to dance with the prince of boxing, ‘Money’ Mayweather, inside the squared circle. However, the fight ended with no decision, and no winner was announced. Interestingly, following the bout, a YouTuber named True Geordie made some claims about Mayweather Jr. with raised eyebrows.

The former champ seems to enjoy being in the ring. His love for boxing can’t keep him away from the ring for a long time, which should be respected. But, the fans were not pleased with his fight against Chalmers and showed their disappointment on Instagram.

Fans react to the video

The boxing world had mixed reactions to the video. A user named __diego._  joked that Floyd’s sparring sessions are worth millions of dollars. He commented, “Man does sparring sessions for millions of dollars.”

xthrillbillyx believes it’s evident that Mayweather isn’t worried because it’s an exhibition bout. He wrote, “Of course he ain’t worried, bro it’s an exhibition. Nobody is actually fighting fighting.”

In the same vein, classic_tate_w commented, “This a clown fight.”
