“This Is Why He Keeps Fighting These Bum A** Exhibitions”: Floyd Mayweather Drops $7 Million in Gucci; Doesn’t Sit Well With Boxing World

Floyd Mayweather is no stranger to living a life of opulence and luxury. The boxing legend has built an empire of wealth through his illustrious career, amassing an estimated net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. Renowned for his flashy lifestyle and penchant for displaying his wealth, ‘Money’ has often faced criticism for his extravagant spending and showy antics.

Despite officially retiring from professional boxing, Mayweather has continued to find his way into the ring with his controversial exhibition bouts. These events, often labeled as “money fights,” have left boxing purists divided. While some expressed frustration at Mayweather’s decision to continue competing after his prime, others see it as a spectacle for entertainment.

Amidst this backdrop of extravagant living and controversial exhibitions, Mayweather made headlines once again during his recent visit to Africa. Arriving in his private jet, the boxing multimillionaire first touched down in Zimbabwe, where he was invited by “Mr. Gold” Scott Sakupwanya. The trip was a spectacle, with traditional Zulu dancing welcoming the renowned athlete to the motherland. However, it was his visit to South Africa that sparked the most buzz.

Nicknamed ‘Money’ for a reason, Floyd Mayweather Spending $7 million Gucci spree sparks controversy

In one of his latest shopping sprees, ‘TBE’ showed his fondness for extravagance and luxury. During his visit to South Africa, the former champion spent $7 million in a Gucci store. While Mayweather’s spending habits have never been a secret, this particular shopping spree on foreign soil has ignited a fresh wave of criticism. Many fans and pundits question why the boxing legend spent so much despite going to Africa to promote the sport of boxing.

A user, E claimed that his spending habits were the reason why he has to compete in exhibition bouts after his retirement.

Another user JayB thought it was a classless move to spend copious sums of money in front of poor people. However, he was not surprised Mayweather did this given his track record.

Another user named Sho was shocked that ‘Money’ spent $7 million in just a few hours. He stated that this was the reason why his nickname is ‘Money’.

Moreover, a user by the name of DJtheJeep thought that this $7 million would be better spent on local goods instead of designer companies like Gucci where the money eventually returns to Europe.

Also, a user named xxes pointed out that ‘Money’ decided to spend $7 million while wearing a standard North Face T-shirt.

The spending on designer items has added fuel to the ongoing debate surrounding Mayweather’s post-retirement activities. Critics argue that rather than using his immense wealth to contribute positively to society or support charitable causes, Mayweather focuses on indulgence. However, ultimately, the debate surrounding Mayweather’s choices and actions will likely persist for a long time. While some may admire his ability to generate enormous wealth and attention, others will continue to question the impact of his decisions on the sport and society at large.
