Undefeated five-division world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. wasn’t expected to trade punches this weekend, but the superstar pugilist did so any ways, getting into a physical altercation with rapper T.I. (Clifford Harris) at a Fatburger in Las Vegas on Sunday morning according to TMZ Sports.
“According to several witnesses … Floyd was eating inside the restaurant when T.I. walked up and started jawing at Floyd.”
The fight reportedly began when T.I.’s wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle posted a pic on Instagram with Floyd’s daughter, Iyanna Mayweather.
T.I. and Floyd’s fight was captured on video by TMZ, and also featured audio. In the videos, we see chairs flying and we can hear Floyd yelling at T.I., “control your bi— motherf—–.”
Now, TMZ is reporting that Floyd and T.I. are actually friends, but the rapper got angry after his wife posted a pic on Instagram with Money’s daughter, with the caption, “Had to come celebrate with my new boo @moneyyaya Happy Birthday bae.”
After seeing this, Tip thought that it meant that Floyd was trying to get closer to his wife.
The report went on to explain that Floyd is actually upset that T.I. would think that, when they’re all friendly. Plus, it was Tiny’s idea to hang out in Las Vegas in the first place. She was not on the scene when the fight went down, but was elsewhere in Vegas.
By the time Las Vegas police arrived at the scene, Mayweather was on his way out and T.I. had already left the area.
Police did confirm that a Fatburger employee got a minor injury during the scuffle. The worker refused treatment and would not cooperate with the police.
