Fans react to a 27-year-old picture of a young Floyd Mayweather Jr. 

The boxer is a world-famous personality, and as such,  is well known internationally. The celebrity regularly updates his huge following about his life on Instagram, where he has a following of 28.3 million users. However, he recently shared a photo from his past, and people can’t stop talking about it. Here’s what they had to say about this photograph from 27 years ago.

A fan wrote, “Real OG nobody done it like @floydmayweather”

Female fans cannot stop admiring a cute and handsome Mayweather. “He was cute though.”

“So handsome” 

Another true fan had some advice for the boxer’s haters. “A lot of people hate on this man. I hear things like “he’s cocky, arrogant, etc”. Wrong, Floyd is just a marketing genius who mastered the art of boxing. He understood how lucrative it was to have people pay to watch his fights, hoping that he would lose. If you hate Floyd, you just fell for the marketing.”

“Millenium Mayweather” 

“HARD WORK PAYS OFF” 

“That’s them money Michigan days”

Apparently, the superstar’s Instagram is full of extravagant things. But even before he amassed millions, ‘Pretty Boy’ had a liking towards wearing jewelry.

His last bout was with his former sparring partner, Don Moore, in Dubai. 

We will see the boxer in the ring for another exhibition bout soon, as he is scheduled to fight in September. Notably, Mayweather will go up against Japanese veteran fighter Mikura Asakura. How will Asakura fare against Mayweather? We’ll find out in a couple of months.
