Even after retirement, ‘TBE’ makes it to the headlines effortlessly, and he is only getting better with the same.

His promotion company already has some extraordinary boxing names and Mayweather truly dedicates his time to teaching some vital lessons to these young guns. Also, Mayweather’s teachings aren’t just restricted to the boxing space, but he also sheds light on health, money, and more such subjects.

He said, “The name of the game is boxing. The name of the game is not slugging because when the fight game is over, when boxing is all over, you hang it up like me. You still want to be able to have your faculties.”

“Still want to get out your brain. That’s more important than anything. F**k the money. Your health is more important than anything. The name of the game is to hit and not get hit. And I was the best at doing it, and I’m gonna continue to teach these young fighters,” he added.

Mayweather reportedly earned billions of dollars with his boxing outings. Yet, he knows the importance of health over an extensive amount of money. That said, in his above statement, he seemed extremely blunt on choosing health over money.
