This was proved after his sons Zion and Koraun Mayweather, tried to trick a cab driver into chauffeuring them for days while shortening his wages and breaking their agreed-upon promises. Back in 2021, before Mayweather’s exhibition bout with Logan Paul, the two sons hired a Florida cab driver and rode around in his vehicle for days but did not pay him the agreed amount.
