Why is Floyd Mayweather training so hard?

The post from Mayweather made no secret of his intentions going into the bout. He clearly wants to hurt Paul and prove he means business. So why is the superstar boxer taking his training so seriously for an exhibition bout?

The former multi-weight champion received heaps of criticism, with many suggesting that he took the fight solely for the payday. Moreover, some even suggested that the bout would be boring. Thus, ‘Money Mayweather’ appears to be on a mission to shut down all the criticism.

In addition, things got more intense after the first press conference, when Logan Paul’s brother, Jake Paul, tried to troll Mayweather by taking his hat. That event showed a different side of the superstar, and it appears to have spurred him on to make a statement in the fight.

What do you make of this post from Floyd Mayweather? Do you think the exhibition bout will be a bloody affair?
