Moreover, Mayweather garners widespread recognition as “TBE” (The Best Ever) due to his profound tactical acumen within the boxing ring.

In a recent interview, Mayweather made a revelation that may come as a surprise to many – he chooses to send his daughter to a public school rather than a private one.

This decision may raise eyebrows, considering Mayweather’s immense fortune, but he articulated his rationale behind this choice.

Mayweather expressed the view that public schools provide an experience more alike to the real world when compared to private institutions.

He values the diversity present in public schools, which he believes better mirrors the broader society.

Reflecting on the same, he stated, “I make sure all my kids went to public school. Not private school. “

Adding,”Public school is more like the real world, I feel like private school is more like a boot camp. Everybody gotta dress the same, cuz they wanna keep everybody in a level playing field.”

Mayweather underscored the fact that his daughter often finds herself as the only black student in her class, emphasizing the importance of exposure to such diversity.

Mayweather also pointed out that private schools tend to be more uniform in their approach, with students often wearing identical uniforms, thereby leveling the playing field.
