Is Floyd Mayweather broke

Floyd Mayweather is always keen towards making big money and he is ready to face anyone if the fight is going to bless his bank account. Breaking up retirement is nothing new for the American boxer as he has done it several times in the past. After defeating Manny Pacquiao in one of the biggest welterweight clashes of all time, Floyd Mayweather announced his retirement. However, he returned back and fought UFC star Conor McGregor in 2017 which benefitted him with a highly profitable purse.

Whatever the reason may be, a lot of fighters believe that Floyd Mayweather is broke and he is making a return just to earn some money. According to Former UFC Superstar Chal Sonnen, Floyd Mayweather must have lost all of his money over his rich lifestyle and he is forced to come back for a fight. The current Bellator Heavyweight acknowledged the fact that Floyd Mayweather has been lucky enough for earning a lot of money but believes that he could not keep it, before calling Mayweather a "dumb-dumb". Chal Sonnen also believes that Floyd Mayweather stands nowhere in MMA and he will be fighting a boxing match in his return with UFC hanging around his name.

"Look, he's just not a very bright guy. He's surrounded with even less bright guys," said Chal Sonnen in an interview with TMZ.
