Floyd Mayweather is not a fan of NBA guys trying to preserve their bodies.

The undefeated boxing champ blasted NBA players who took games off to rest during the season. Load management has become a thing over the last several years due to guys like Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James. During a recent Q&A Mayweather blasted players who took games off to rest because he felt they were ripping off fans who paid a lot of money to watch NBA players entertain them.

“They will play a couple games and take a couple games off,” “That’s not cool. With that type of money, if you’re not hurt, you need to be out there playing ’cause these people pay a lot of money for the NBA players to entertain.”

Watch below:

NBA fans had mixed reactions to Mayweather’s comments:

I think the biggest problem with load management is when fans, in particular kids, go to see their favorite player and he’s sitting out.

If someone is healthy they must suit up and play. The Fans ultimately pay these guys salaries.
