Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has reached out in support of Nate Robinson after his loss. The former NBA star Robinson lost to YouTube sensation Jake Paul via a vicious KO. The whole world of combat sport has since ridiculed the former NBA player’s escapade. However, Mayweather encouraged the former Slam Dunk contest champion; he also slammed those who didn’t.

The legend of the sport took to his Instagram to show his support. A picture with Robinson was accompanied with the caption, “Nate, I’m proud of you and I will always stand behind all my brothers. I will never kick my brother when he’s down. It’s ok for people to voice their opinions on social media, but no black athletes or black entertainers, especially black NBA players should make a mockery out of you.”

Clearly, Mayweather is not happy with the treatment that Robinson got after his loss. He also wrote, “We are supposed to all stand with each other through the good, bad and ugly. I’m here to uplift you and let you know we all love you and congratulate you for just making an effort.”
