Floyd Mayweather, renowned for his audacity and unpredictability, has always been adept at drawing attention both inside and outside the boxing ring. But his most recent spectacle has left his fans and followers bewildered, providing some unexpected entertainment. Just days after parading his multi-million dollar car collection to the world, the boxing superstar, also known as ‘Money May,’ decided to put on another show – this time unveiling his staggering collection of sneakers.
In a Twitter video, Mayweather revealed a towering stack of shoeboxes, each one housing a pair of sneakers to be worn just once. “I love sneakers,” he declared, before likening his collection to a precarious game of Jenga. “I got a stack all the way up to the top… Let’s stack it, let’s go,” he enthused. With a nod to a fan’s commentary, “The insecurity is strong with this one” – one wonders: is this flamboyant display just an eccentric hobby or is there a deeper story behind Mayweather’s mountain of sneakers?

Fans react to Mayweather’s towering sneakers collection
In the intriguing video posted by IFL TV, Mayweather dives into the details of his sneaker collection. Each box in his formidable stack houses a unique pair of shoes, destined to be worn just once. “I don’t know about anyone else, but Money May loves his sneakers,” Mayweather stated, unveiling the extent of his affection for footwear.
Mayweather’s display sparked a variety of reactions from fans. Some fans speculated about Mayweather’s motivations. Hadleigh McKinlay dryly observed, “The insecurity is strong with this one,” alluding perhaps to a deeper reason behind the ostentatious display.

Some reveled in the eccentricity of the spectacle. The Tories, a fan, commented, “Out Enjoying the fruits of his career. Anybody else would be if they were in his position. I want to see his entire house, like a cribs tour. He doesn’t look too confident on that ladder.”

Not everyone was as enthusiastic, however. A user named 고생 끝에 낙p이 온다 noted a lack of diversity in Mayweather’s collection, stating, “Needs some versatile in his sneaker and car collections, very bland.”

There were also lighthearted comments about Mayweather’s likely sponsorship. Thomas King remarked, “He gets sponsored by Nike,” implying that Mayweather’s impressive sneaker stack might be partially due to his relationship with the brand.

Amidst these contrasting reactions, Kelvinbossman added a unique perspective, comparing Mayweather’s display to the less flamboyant behavior of tech tycoons. “We don’t see this kind of stuff from Bezos, Musk and them but yeah do you my guy,” he mused.
