In a boxing career of over 20 years, Floyd Mayweather has torn up a handful of opponents inside the ring. Baptism under fire, as they call it, ‘Money’ has handed a humbling punishment to many an individual in the sport of boxing. However, that Mayweather once spilled blood on investor-cum-magnate-cum-philanthropist, Warren Buffett is a rare story occasionally heard.

In The Pivot Podcast, accompanied by Alex Rodriguez, a former Major League Baseball player, Floyd Mayweather opened up about the time he had stained Warren Buffett’s expensive suit with blood. “Warren Buffett came to the boxing gym; we shot a commercial together, actually”. “That day I was sparring”. “I said, I’m gonna get blood on your suit.”

Mayweather, who is one of the richest sports-person alive today, and who earned a “hundred-thousand-dollar” by his teenage, feels that with money comes comfort. Of course, as Mayweather says, it allows one to do whatever they want in their life.

In addition, ‘Money’ expresses that with age and experience comes growth. Undoubtedly, true to his words, Floyd Mayweather embodies the growth of the person to whom he refers.

While the discussion about inspiration and work ethic went on, Mayweather shared a fascinating story. “When I was 10, I done my first autograph signing,” said Money. “This guy knew I was going to be big; he was a fan of my dad. I was 10 years old; he said, sign this baseball,” added Mayweather.

Last year when Mayweather fought Paul in an exhibition match, he said something interesting during his post-fight ring interview. With a smile on his face, he expressed that although he wasn’t 21; it was fun while still having a fight.

Whether it be Buffett or Bezos, for Mayweather, the dream shall never fade and the spirit shall never die.
