Mayweather was watching the Los Angeles Clippers vs Memphis Grizzlies game at the Staples Center in LA in 2021. This was when a teenage male fan approached him for a photograph.

The fan was distraught at the champ’s response. Moreover, he turned that camera to selfie mode and accused Mayweather of homophobia. He said, “Floyd’s a homophobe. You guys saw that first. Floyd doesn’t want to take a picture with me because my nails are painted. Bro, really?”
Mayweather’s rep later clarified that Mayweather could not take the picture as he was being rushed out of the venue. And Mayweather himself also refuted the homophobia claims by mentioning that it was far from the truth.

He honestly doesn’t have to take a picture with anyone he doesn’t want to even though he could have just said no and left it at that 🤷🏾♂️
