Andrew Tate isn’t shying away from the limelight in Florida, despite Governor Ron DeSantis making it clear he isn’t welcome. Just days after DeSantis called for an investigation into Tate and his brother, the controversial internet figure cashed in on a high-profile boxing event.

On Saturday night, Adin Ross’ boxing stream event in Miami paid Tate $1 million to serve as a commentator. His presence at the event came after he openly challenged Florida authorities to arrest him so he could fight his legal battle in court. The state has yet to take action, and DeSantis has remained silent on Tate’s taunts.

Tate’s appearance at the boxing event sent shockwaves across social media. Supporters cheered his ability to turn controversy into profit, while critics slammed the decision to feature him amid ongoing legal troubles.

Some viewers criticized the event for giving him a major platform despite his sex trafficking charges in Romania. Others saw it as another example of Tate’s resilience and ability to stay relevant.

“What an absolute waste of time and tax payers money.” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Another called it “Lock them up” to those pushing for accountability.

Meanwhile, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier confirmed the state had launched a criminal investigation into the Tate brothers. However, details of the probe remain undisclosed, and it’s unclear whether authorities will take action against them during their stay in the U.S.

As Tate continues to make headlines, DeSantis faces mounting pressure to respond. Whether the governor will escalate his stance or continue to ignore Tate’s provocations remains to be seen. For now, Tate appears to be enjoying his time in Florida, turning controversy into cash while the state deliberates its next move.
