Floyd Mayweather, one of the most important boxers of recent years, announces his foray into NFTs.
The collection of NFTs will be available on Rarible, an Ethereum platform, made up of personal items from Floyd Mayweather.
Social networks have received this news in different ways, since he is not the first famous person to insist on investing in his own “metaverse”.
The different universes of NFTs have managed to attract the attention of different businessmen, entrepreneurs, public figures and celebrities, so little by little they have decided to venture into the world of these “non-fungible tokens”; has now been Floyd Mayweather, as he announces on his social networks a collection of his own objects as unique assets.
But what are NFTs? NFT, or “non fungible token” by its acronym in English, refers to a non-fungible asset or asset. In other words, that it is unique and lacks equivalence. Throughout history, humanity has given value to tangible products that are scarce, such as gold, silver, or artistic works. Precisely, NFTs are the same, with the exception of that are in a digital plane and work under the rules that establish the validations of the blockchain format.
Celebrities and NFTs: relationship under construction
Probably one of the issues that has been criticized the most in recent years on social networks is the phenomenon of NFTs, because while some continue to bet on their investment, others describe it as an attack on the environment and a major scam. The volatility of the blockchain technology asset market has caused many users to end up dissatisfied with their bet on the metaverses in turn, while, on the other hand, it has made many collectors generate an increasingly large fortune.
Brie Larson is one of the best known actresses to enter this world of non-expendable assets. However, the reception of social networks has been hard for her, because as has happened with the “haters” since she decided to take the role of Captain Marvel in the homonymous film, a large part of the Internet users have made each action personal. of the artist. Added to this, mistrust of NFTs has ended up being the straw that broke the camel’s back for the Oscar-winning actress.

Another actor who has decided to participate in this new business has been the famous Johnny Depp, who recently launched his collection, ‘Never Fear Truth’, putting up for sale ‘tokens’ developed from their original works of art that are owned by their friends. However, the response to his assets has been much more positive. Therefore, it could be thought that there are many more reasons to consider that a celebrity’s foray into the world of NFTs It goes beyond just being a subject little understood by a large part of the users.
I’m fascinated by virtual NFT galleries. I hope in the future to train historians & other humanities scholars to examine, create, & evaluate NFT works & exhibition spaces.
I really like intimacy of this space vs. Black Arts District. This NFT exhibit is all art by Johnny Depp. https://t.co/S0FgEKEIwm

Now, the famous boxer, Floyd Mayweather, has decided to follow in the footsteps of these actors and announces his first collection of 5 thousand NFTs. Of all of them, 5 limited edition cards will be included for quite faithful collectors. The collection of NFTs will be available at Rarible, an Ethereum platform, made up of personal belongings of Floyd Mayweather. However, users have criticized this decision, including some calling this a scam, commenting that all assets with blockchain technology can be duplicated, “You have an unreadable map and no territory”, they commented in the publication thread.
The former boxer who will have his exhibition fight with youtuber Logan Paul was also criticized by users for mentioning that he had been working on this project for months; however, they pointed out that the account for this project was created only two days ago.
This was the publication with which Floyd Mayweather announces his foray into NFTs:
