For several weeks Floyd Mayweather was in Dubai on the occasion of a world tour and he frequently uploaded photos of himself having the time of his life. However, Gervonta Davis rattled everyone by alleging that Floyd Mayweather owed some people money in Dubai and they would not let ‘TBE’ leave the country until he paid them. Later Rick Glaser echoed Davis when he stated that Mayweather was “definitely being held by the Government court system“ in Dubai in connection to a case which involved a “substantial amount of money“. At this, as Mayweather shared a photo of himself posing in front of Burj Arab, fans feared ‘TBE’ was forced by authority in Dubai.
As a result, not knowing Mayweather had already left Dubai, a fan said, “Free Floyd.”
Meanwhile, a fan believed Mayweather looked unhappy because he wanted to return to the US. “My boy just wanna come home,” they said.
On the other hand, suspecting the authority’s involvement, a fan wrote, “This picture look forced.”
Similarly, one said, “He never took a pic like this a day in his life. Looks weird.”
Finally, echoing others a fan declared, “Dude look forced to take dat pic.”
Soon, Glaser took to social media and confirmed that Floyd Mayweather returned to the US and even donated $30,000 in a random act of kindness.
