Floyd Mayweather doesn’t enjoy losing. Be it inside the boxing ring or outside of it, he does everything he can to ensure his victory.

Remember the fight against Victor Ortiz? The American cornered Mayweather with his aggression and also planted an illegal headbutt. Although he was apologetic for his action, Mayweather turned the tables by punching an affectionate Ortiz straight in his face.

Thus, ‘Money’ enjoys seeing his name on the winner’s card. That said, the undefeated boxer recently defeated one of his friends in a video game session. Since they aired it live on the internet, Floyd Mayweather couldn’t afford to lose.

Meanwhile, he is possibly trying to get back inside the ring. After failing to capitalize on a matchup against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor in 2020, Mayweather is now eyeing a boxing matchup against Logan Paul.

Rumors state that the pair can face off soon. However, Mayweather is still to clarify his stance. If it happens, there will be huge PPV sales and Mayweather might not want to avoid it, especially when he has nothing more to prove in the sport.
