    Floyd Mayweather Says Donald Trump Is ‘The Best President’

    Floyd Mayweather was full of admiration for Donald Trump this week as he declared on national television that the businessman is the greatest leader the United States has ever had. The living boxing legend said he was glad at the President’s return and commended him for his policies in the last month since he took office.

    Floyd Mayweather Gushes Over Donald Trump

    Floyd Mayweather is a proud Republican and MAGA, and he doubled down on his political identity this week in support of Donald Trump. The boxing champion, known for his polarizing and controversial remarks, said in a recent episode of Fox Business’ Making Money that the President is the greatest the nation has ever had. Mayweather argued that despite many people complaining about Trump’s policies, he believed the President was making the right decisions. “In America, we’re never happy,” he said.

    “I’m happy, but we’re never happy. We had Trump before, we didn’t appreciate him. But I think Trump is a great president, actually, he’s the best President in my eyes. He’s the best President we ever had. Great businessman and that’s what it’s about.”

    Floyd Mayweather continued praising Donald Trump, saying:

    “Trump has done an amazing job. And a lot of people around America are upset, but no matter who goes in the White House, we’re always upset. I think Trump is the man for the job.”

    Mayweather’s Long-Term Support For Trump

    Mayweather’s recent comments about Donald Trump’s presidency being the best are not one-off sentiments. The undefeated boxing icon attended Trump’s first inauguration. He also supported his presidency before going low-key in 2017. Hence, not many people were surprised that the entrepreneur is still a fan of the President. Meanwhile, the businessman‘s praise for Donald Trump comes less than 60 days since the latter took office a second time, prompting many to wonder which policies won him over.

    His remarks also invited criticism from a colleague who called the boxer wishy-washy. MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz accused Mayweather of being a hypocrite who supported the Democratic Party and couldn’t stick to one party.

    “This guy is so fake, he was a big Obama and Biden supporter, now he is talking about President Trump. You cannot play two side of the fence. This guy is fake and a fraud,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

    Netizens React To Floyd Mayweather’s Comments About Donald Trump

    Mayweather’s remarks about Donald Trump went viral quickly, and netizens are divided over the appropriateness of Mayweather’s opinion. Many argued that the boxer had a right to his views, and some applauded him for being “real” and recognizing who was “real.” However, many in the Black community, who view the President as a polarizing figure, called out Mayweather. Some even called him a sell-out. Onsite obtained a clip of Mayweather’s interview, and the comments were disagreeable.

    “You’re happy erasing your people history? You’re happy that the elderly can’t afford their medicine.” someone asked.

    Another person commented:

    “I’d love to hear more about the specific policies or accomplishments that make him “the best.”

    But then again, thoughtful analysis doesn’t seem to be his strong suit.”

    “Definitely the uneducated Trump was talking about,” a third person added.

    The responses to Floyd Mayweather’s opinion about Donald Trump reflect the sentiments of the American populace. However, as some have pointed out, everyone, including Mayweather, is entitled to their views.

    He stated that he has also experienced being tossed aside once their former benefactors no longer find them useful. However, the journalist clarified that he wasn’t sure if that was true with Gervonta Davis and Floyd Mayweather. Meanwhile, Davis agreed that his host was right and noted that idols become more humane once one gets close to them.

    “I’ve been in situation where, though, like, you know, I was in a lose-lose situation and now came out still on top,” he told Hill.

    A curious Hill asked Gervonta Davis what he meant, and he told the influencer that Floyd Mayweather Jr. had once placed him in a difficult position. Davis revealed he was just 21 when asked to face José Pedraza. The 2017 fight would be his first world title, and he had been out of the ring for seven to eight months. Davis revealed that Mayweather insisted that he fight Pedraza or he would not get another opportunity. Meanwhile, Davis only earned $10k a fight, so he struggled financially. He had also been evicted from his house and had to sell his jewelry to survive. When asked if Mayweather did it intentionally, Davis said yes.

When Hill asked him for more details, he said he didn’t want to “go too deep into it,” but he fell out with his former mentor because of his daughter.

    “They were saying I was messing with his daughter after the fact that she kept Snapchatting me,” he told his host. “She kept hitting me on the Snapchat so they sent it to Floyd and Floyd bugged out.”

  • New Lawsuit Alleges Floyd Mayweather Told His Bodyguard To Assault Man In Response To Being Fired

    New Lawsuit Alleges Floyd Mayweather Told His Bodyguard To Assault Man In Response To Being Fired

    Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is facing a lawsuit for assault and battery. The lawsuit alleges that Mayweather, along with his business The Money Team LLC, and a restaurant, are responsible for injuries sustained by a man who was tackled by Mayweather’s bodyguard. 

    The plaintiff, Eduardo Andres Torres Martinez, claims that the incident occurred while he was dining at a Yard House in Los Angeles on February 10th, 2022, as reported by Jasmine Brand. As Mayweather and his entourage entered the restaurant, a commotion broke out as diners approached him for autographs and pictures. Martinez says he started recording the scene on his phone, which caught Mayweather’s attention.

    Martinez says the boxer then gestured to his bodyguard to

    “handle”

    him, resulting in a confrontation between him, the bodyguard, and a struggle to gain possession of his phone. According to reports, the plaintiff alleges in his lawsuit that the bodyguard,

    “negligently, carelessly, intentionally, maliciously and/or physically touched, struck, and/or hit [Martinez] by striking”

    Martinez is suing Mayweather and the restaurant’s security for assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, as well as general negligence. He claims to have suffered severe physical and mental injuries, along with significant medical expenses. 

    Although he filed a police report against Mayweather, no charges were pursued due to a lack of evidence and conflicting witness statements. Mayweather denies any involvement in the incident, stating he left the crowded Yard House soon after arriving. The lawsuit’s monetary value remains undisclosed, and the case awaits a judge’s ruling.
