"He spends so much money" - Joe Rogan explains why Floyd Mayweather carries on fighting for money despite being one of the richest boxers

Joe Rogan recently weighed in on Floyd Mayweather's decision to continue to take exhibition boxing matches. The Joe Rogan Experience host attributed the International Boxing Hall of Famer's post-retirement career to his spending habits.

Speaking to guest Ali Siddiq on episode #1998 of JRE, the UFC commentator stated:

"What's intersting is Floyd's making more money than anybody, and he's boxing people who have no chance of beating him, and he's doing it as an exhibition. It doesn't even hurt his record."

After Siddiq attributed his desire to continue to compete to the "drug of boxing," Rogan added:

"Also, the money. He spends so much money. If he's playing for the future, you've got to keep it coming in if you're going to keep spending the way he spends... He needs that money. The money's got to keep coming in if you're going to live like this. He's only 46. He does this with everything. He's got a million dollar watches."
