Floyd Mayweather busts a dance move in ‘GOATED’ music video

The project was recently put out on all media platforms with ‘TBE’ showing off his dancing skills along with Curry also training the rapper in a gym. The video showed Mayweather making a short appearance in the middle of the song. He trains White out at BOXR Gym in Miami and then dances along with him. Moreover, it seemed that his training might have worked as White then proceeds to knock out a goat-wearing opponent in the next scene.

The rapper also pays tribute to another all-time great, Michael Jordan, flaunting his iconic number 23 jersey. However, this was not all as Mayweather’s surprising cameo appearance drew in some wild reactions from fans who were stunned to see ‘Money’ in this new avatar.

The fans were more than surprised to see Mayweather in a music video. However, with him easing off the exhibition bouts this might be a way for him to contemplate retirement from the sport. Nonetheless, it was a breath of fresh air to see the former champ get out of his comfort zone and try new things.

In addition, this might be a sneak peek into Mayweather’s documentary ‘GOAT’ based on his life and career, which is said to be in the works. However, we might see ‘Money’ become a TikTok star before this as his dance moves might just take over the internet.
