FLOYD MAYWEATHER will not be accepting gifts this Christmas and has BANNED people from giving him presents.
The boxing legend – who in 2019 topped Forbes’ rich list of the decade with £706MILLION earned – is a famously generous person.
But only receiving back on a “commercialised holiday” has infuriated Mayweather so much he will stop receiving presents on special days.
He posted online: “I will not be accepting gifts on Christmas, my birthday, Valentine’s Day, or Father’s Day.
“I constantly give gifts all throughout the year because I feel every day is worth celebrating and not just some commercialised holiday.
“Where’s the thought behind a gift if it’s only given on a holiday? You only think of giving me a gift when society says you should give gifts?

“I understand people can’t give me what I give them, but it’s the small thoughtful things that count.
“It’s all about reciprocation. The random gift on any given day is priceless, not the gifts I receive 4 times a year. I’m better than that.”
Mayweather boasted of making over £1bn during his time as the pound-for-pound and pay-per-view king.
But he retired officially in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 34, in ten rounds.
