Floyd Mayweather is considered by many the greatest boxer of all time. Apart from his in-ring skills, the record-holding 50-0 boxer is also known for the sheer amount of riches under his possession.

But this time, the odds seem to have turned against him as fans on Twitter bashed a video of him posted on DailyLoud’s Twitter page. The video showcased “Money” Mayweather shopping at a Louis Vuitton store in Japan and paying through cash.
Fans urged Floyd Mayweather to stop showing off
Although the video received about 4.1k retweets, the fans didn’t take this video very well, calling it a “show-off”. Most were of the opinion that there were better things that could be done with the money.
Others seemed uninterested, already knowing the fact that Mayweather is crazy rich.
A follower wrote “Floyd we know you are rich, we don’t care. Use your card and keep the line moving.”
Some of DailyLouds’ audiences seemed disgusted at the incident and tweeted things like, “Just pay on card man and stop showing off” and “Nobody really rich and who doesn’t want clout pays in cash. They have black cards or similar with no limits. This guy is such an attention seeker it’s boring.”

While the other one seemed to mock Mayweather’s ignorance despite being rich, his tweet read “Remember when 50 Cent asked him to read 1 page of a Harry Potter book”. He ended with a few smiling emojis, which clearly implied his mocking tone.
