Whether it is for his style of boxing or his personal life choices, ‘Pretty Boy‘ has always been a bone of contention for many.

Sonnen said, “This is one hell of a thing, and I really don’t want to do that to Floyd. If Floyd owes money and he didn’t pay it, it’s going to crush his reputation. But the money team isn’t real and the only thing that’s less real than the money team is the exaggeration of Floyd Mayweather’s net worth.”
