Floyd Mayweather retired in 2017. However, he continues to compete in exhibition fights. Moreover, he makes millions and millions of dollars by fighting opponents much less formidable than him. Not to mention, as per TMZ, it is rumored that the boxer is set to make his return in an exhibition bout against John Gotti III in February of next year.

That being said, a substantial section of the boxing world is not a fan of such bouts and to an extent is in a state of frenzy. But Mayweather remains unbothered and has a stern message for them. Let’s hear all he had to say.

Floyd Mayweather addresses his critics

Mayweather, although a proclaimed boxer, is also polarizing. Throughout his career, ‘TBE,’ was susceptible to scrutiny and criticism that prolongs even today.  However, according to Mayweather, his critics and haters are envious of the fact that he continues to make millions after becoming the richest boxer of all time. In addition, he asserted that this jealousy was also ignited as he became a billionaire at a relatively young age.

Reflecting on the same, he stated, “See they upset because I’m able to milk the game. I’m smart. I made a lot of smart investments. You know what? Great people like Warren Buffet, when they get money, their 50s-60s, 80s, and even 90s it’s okay. I was able to leave boxing, on my own terms. To keep all my factories, kept a lot of money. So they are upset that I’m able to go out there and make 40-60 Million.”
