Clearing $20-40 million dollars per fight, Floyd Mayweather made a mint before deciding to hang up his gloves last fall. Mayweather's legendary work in the ring has afforded him a luxurious lifestyle that he's never been shy about putting on display. That includes his footwear, which, more often than not, are designer sneakers from brands like Balmain, Christian Louboutin and Givenchy priced in the thousands. Strangely, Mayweather may be the only celebrity never spotted wearing Air Jordans, and he explained why in today's interview with Hollywood Unlocked.

The undefeated boxer offers his reasoning in the clip above, and without giving everything away, it comes down to what it usually does with Mayweather — money. He makes it clear that he doesn't have a problem with Michael Jordan himself, but you shouldn't expect to see him wearing the Jumpman anytime soon.
