He said that the two were meeting just to discuss how they can work together. At the end of the meal, the American boxing legend asked the waitress what she would do if she had all the money in the world to improve her life. The woman initially said she would get rid of her credit card debt.

However, when the superstar asked what she would do to change her lifestyle, she said she would undergo a procedure to have an easier time while doing exercise and cardio. Shahidi recalled that after that, Floyd asked her how much it would cost and found out it would be around the six-seven thousand mark. He then placed a $10,000 tip at the bottom of the bill.
