Floyd Mayweather Jr is undoubtedly one of the best boxers in the world. He retired from the sport at the top by cementing himself as the greatest. However, throughout his life, the boxer has found himself in the midst of a lot of controversies. In 2014, the former five-division world champion had a very public physical confrontation with rapper Clifford Joseph Harris Jr, who is known by his stage name, ‘TI.’ And the news was a shock to the whole world. Both of these celebrities clashed inside a restaurant and had to be pushed apart by their respective bodyguards.

In a clip surfacing on the internet, Mayweather Jr tries to explain his side of the beef with the rapper. And clarifies what actually happened between the two and what he thinks about the altercation now. But it seems like fans are not pleased with the champ’s clarification and believe he was just avoiding the question.

In a podcast episode of  Drink Champs, the champ opened up about this public fallout with the rapper and what prevailed when the two met inside the restaurant. Mayweather Jr said, “If you believe that your wife is a trophy, she should be at home on the shelf.”
