What has been said?
Money Kicks says Mayweather is taking on this challenge as it seeks to establish itself in the Middle East market.
The YouTube sensation explained to SunSport, “They did it because there are no boxers here. Me, I like to go to markets where people haven’t. Start a trend.”
“I was the first YouTuber here to get a million subscribers, yet a new market.
“That’s why Floyd wanted a boxer from here, because I grew up in the Middle East and Asia. Now I can grow up in the world.”
The Kicks also admitted to being a huge Mayweather fan growing up.
“Floyd is always the respectable, quiet guy, polite guy, and I always had a TMT merchant with me before I met Floyd,” he said.
“I took pictures and always wore his merchant. Always a respectable guy.
“When I met him, he said, ‘You are the man.’ I said, ‘Which man?’ And he said, ‘You are the man, you always support me’.
“I didn’t know he knew me. That was four years ago, five years ago, and he’s always shown love.”
