Boxing superstar, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the most eccentric individuals in the world of sports. Pugilism aside, ‘Money’ Mayweather is ever ready to engage in a war of words with his opponents. However, things took an intriguing turn recently when someone left Mayweather at a loss for words. It is also worth noting that this ‘someone’ happened to be a cockatoo.

He then proceeded to ask Belhasa to talk to the cockatoo. In response, the cockatoo proceeds to mutter a few intelligible words. Mayweather, on the other hand, was amused by the exchange. And was also at a loss for words.
