Legendary boxer Mr Floyd 'MoneyMan' Mayweather seems to have preferred neighbouring country Zim over Mzansi. This, after the American boxer who was on our shores this past weekend did not post a single picture in South Africa, besides the South African celebs and politicians who were all over him during his gala dinner.
Mayweather, who started his first leg of his motherland tour in Zimbabwe, posted a heartfelt video or young children singing for him at a stadium with a touching caption that read, "Thanks for the Zimbabwe for embracing me with open arms."
Yesterday the globe trotter posted a picture in South of France in Monte Carlo with a caption that took a jab at haters.
"Y'all keep running your mouth and I am gonna keeping running through my passport, " he said.
This left South African fans with a bitter taste in their mouths that he came to South Africa and never posted a single picture embracing the "motherland". Some fans were even asking if Zimbabwe is more beautiful than South Africa?
One comment asked, "So you didn't find a nice pictures to post in South Africa?" Another fan expressed how disappointed they are as they were looking forward to his reviews about Mzansi.
"Bro am hurt,I came to your page to check what you say about us and there is nothing."
Zimoja has learnt that Floyd was initially invited by his friend, a wealthy Zimbabwean businessman, who is one of the biggest gold dealers in Africa. According to the source when they heard that he was going to be in Zimbabwe, A South African businessmen decided to highjack the opportunity and invite the flamboyant boxer.
Mayweather hosted a Banquet Dinner at the Sandton Convention Centre on Saturday with tickets for the dinner costing between R2 500 ?" R45 000 per seat.
The event was aimed at raising funds for South African youth in boxing through his Youth Empowerment Programme, The Floyd Mayweather Jr Foundation.
Themed "Go Black or Don't Bother", this event was attended by Mzansi A-listers, including Zulu King Misuzulu Zulu. When asked for comment, publicist Simphiwe Majola simply said, "Please ask him directly doll!"
