Floyd Mayweather, the former boxing champion, recently sparked a heated debate after publicly praising former President Donald Trump, describing him as ‘the best president’ and a ‘great businessman.’ The comments came during an interview with Fox Business. Mayweather stated, ‘He knows how to handle business, and he knows how to make money,’ emphasizing his admiration for Trump’s entrepreneurial skills. The reaction on social media was swift and divided, particularly among fans on Black Twitter, with many labeling Mayweather as a ‘sellout’ and criticizing his remarks. One Twitter user expressed, ‘Floyd has a right to his opinion, but it’s disappointing to hear such praise for someone whose policies impacted so many negatively.’ Critics focused on Trump’s controversial presidency, including his stance on race relations and social justice issues, prompting a backlash against Mayweather. Another user reacted, saying, ‘It’s hard to support someone who stood by when racial tensions were at an all-time high.’ Mayweather’s comments have ignited ongoing discussions about celebrity endorsements of political figures, with many calling for a boycott of Mayweather’s future events and businesses. Despite the backlash, Mayweather stands firm in his beliefs, asserting that he values business acumen above political ideology.
