Floyd Mayweather redefined the sport of boxing with his unusual boxing prowess. ‘TBE’ employed a defensive game plan across all his fights, and with that, he ended up being undefeated throughout his career. While many appreciated Mayweather for his skills, there were still some fans who disregarded Mayweather for whatever he brought to the table.

Recently, the rap sensation 50 Cent, in a chat with Brian J. Roberts, addressed this point. He also came up with a cracking statement about why people dislike Mayweather.

He said, “So it’s okay for you to watch the fight. Nobody watch Floyd fight to see how amazing he is. They watch it for the opportunity to see him lose. Because they don’t like him, they don’t like him because everything he says is about money.”
