All-time great boxer and athlete Floyd Mayweather recently fought in an exhibition in Mexico.
One where he took on John Gotti III in a rematch and won the exhibition format boxing match.
He hasn’t spoken at all since it, until now, saying on Instagram:
“Retirement isn’t about slowing down, it’s about living on your own terms. I’ve worked hard to build a life where I can choose my adventures, and if those adventures still bring in multi-millions, even better! Success isn’t something you retire from it’s something you refine. Exhibitions are my way of giving my fans, old and new, the opportunity to witness my greatness on any stage I choose. That’s what any successful businessman and boss would do. It’s okay for Jeff Bezos, who is 60, Bill Gates at 68, and Warren Buffett at 93, to continuously build their legacies and wealth, and they’re celebrated as smart businessmen. But when I, a Black man far younger in age, choose to do the same, somehow it becomes a problem for naysayers with nothing to their name. Bottom line, there’s too many of you busy pocket watching, while I’m busy still creating wealth and legacy.”
Shrewd Mayweather.
Expect more from him in terms of exhibitions.
There was talks of him against Chavez Sr. but not much has come of it since.
Hopefully people will actually know about his next one, though.
No one really knew the last one was even happening.
