Blaming the process of giving gifts on special days, he further added, “Where is the thought behind gifts if they are only given on holidays? You only think of giving me a gift when society says you should give a gift? I understand people can’t give me what I give them, but it’s the little thoughtful things that count.”
He concluded by adding, “It’s all about reciprocity. A random gift on any given day is priceless, not a gift I receive 4 times a year. I’m better than that.” Although the post may seem controversial to some, it has received over 50k likes from followers and fans around the world.
Mayweather And Kim Kardashian Sued By Investors Over Alleged Crypto Fraud
Although Mayweather has appeared in the news for several controversial issues, mostly regarding his boxing profession or his never-ending beef with competitive opponents, it never grew beyond that.
However, according to The Blast, boxing icon and businesswoman Kim Kardashian found themselves mixed up in an alleged crypto scam. The celebrity was accused of deliberately overhyping the EthereumMax cryptocurrency to their millions of followers in order to make a profit.
Following these allegations, a class action lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the Central District of California, naming EthereumMax for making false promises.
The case goes on to accuse the company and all of its celebrity promoters of jointly inflating the token’s price by making “false or misleading statements” in their social media posts.
Kim’s method of promoting the controversial crypto was through his Instagram story, dated June 13, Sunday. The ad reads, “Are you all into crypto? This is not financial advice but sharing what my friend told me about Ethereum Max token”! He then added a hashtag, including #ad, indicating it was a paid sponsorship.
Instead, Mayweather took a different approach by allowing the tokens to be accepted as payment for tickets to his boxing match with YouTube star Logan Paul. He stepped it up by promoting EthereumMax at a bitcoin conference in Miami, where he received a cold reception from the audience and was booed off the stage.
