Floyd Mayweather never lost a professional fight inside of a boxing ring, but the boxing great knows when to cut his losses outside of it, says his old boxing promoter Bob Arum.
While allegedly being shaken down by Rap-A-Lot Records CEO James Prince, Mayweather allegedly ran to Arum to have him pay off a street debt for protection and managerial services rendered by what some dub the Boogeyman of the entertainment industry.
Hence, Prince isn’t someone who even the world’s top boxer wants problems with.
“We were at dinner one night and I got a call that there was a disturbance at my gym,” Arum explained during a Monday appearance on Highly Questionable on ESPN. “Floyd apparently had asked us not to do a fight in October, but to do it in December after James Prince’s contract with him had run out.
Maybe Mayweather, who birthed Mayweather Promotions in 2007 and has amassed over $1 billion from in-ring earnings and endorsements, will stick to professional security outfits and managerial teams to protect his assets moving forward.
