Despite dealing with the death of the mother of his children and his uncle, Floyd Mayweather was back to his old self during a recent Instagram Live video.
The undefeated boxer waved stacks of cash around when talking about the coronavirus pandemic. At one point, he said that his investments are still paying off, but struggled to get the word epidemic out of his mouth. He actually almost said ‘academic’ before saying ‘huge shit’ instead.
“Even with myself, [people] are like … ‘Floyd gonna end up with nothing.’ I made smart investments,” Mayweather told Brown in the Instagram chat.
“That’s why, right now, with this huge epidemic, with this huge s— going on, crazy stuff going on, my investments are still paying off.”
The 43-year-old is one of only a few athletes to make $1 billion through sport, finishing his career in 2017 with a 10th round stoppage defeat of Conor McGregor and a flawless 50-0 record.
“This is not about throwing this in nobody’s face or showing up,” he said. “This is saying ‘I’m blessed.’

“In a recession, I can still feed my loved ones. When you’re showing your $60,000, you’re saying I can still feed my wife. I can still feed my children. And you gotta let them know.”
Regarding the coronavirus pandemic, Mayweather said: “Tough times don’t last. Tough people do.”
