Floyd Mayweather sends a message to his haters ahead of his boxing return
The 45-year-old went live on Instagram to show his fans some pad work as he trained for his upcoming May 14 fight in Dubai. Mayweather will be fighting Moore on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab. After an intense pad session, he spoke to the camera about why they (his haters) are upset:
"When great people like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, the Waltons, the people that own Walmart and Walgreens, when they're getting money in their 50s,their 60s, their 70s, 80s and even 90s, it's okay. A young kid like myself from the inner city, from the ghetto, I worked my way to the top. I was able to leave boxing on my own terms and keep all my faculties, kept a lot of my money, so they're upset that I'm able to go out there and continue to make forty and fifty and sixty million."
