Floyd Mayweather doesn’t like to lose, and the entire boxing fraternity is aware of that. Having amassed 50 wins in his overall career, Mayweather retired undefeated in 2017 from the sport. However, he still retains a similar mindset, as he seemed vexed after losing a charity basketball game in Las Vegas.

A huge basketball fan, Mayweather, tried his hands on the court recently to raise charitable funds. He was accompanied by several stars, including Ghanaian-American actor, Michael Blackson. However, things didn’t go really well between him and ‘TBE’ Mayweather. Per social media reports, Blackson didn’t perform commendably on the court and that didn’t sit well with the undefeated pugilist.

Mayweather screamed at the actor, yelled at him multiple times. The entire altercation was captured on camera, which showed Floyd Mayweather in an ill mood. Later, Michael Blackson shed more light on the incident by taking it to social media.

The actor posted a video of Floyd Mayweather yelling at him and described the whole scenario in his caption. No wonder he didn’t miss out on demeaning Mayweather’s behavior on the court.

He wrote, “This n**** Floyd Mayweather just hates to lose lol. Yesterday I played in his charity game and why did I agree to play on his team? I played 11 seconds and had 0 points, 2 turnovers, 3 arguments, and 16 yells from Floyd.”

“This n**** yelled at all the players and coaches for letting me in the game. This n**** is so competitive that if he was playing against a bunch of make a wish kids, he will make sure to kick their a**. I told him before the game that we was going to take an L and he thought I was playing.”

Floyd Mayweather is strict with his games

Aged 44, Mayweather is still active in the sporting community. Despite hanging up his gloves professionally, Floyd Mayweather continues to accept exhibition fights. He has had two bouts against Tenshin Nasukawa and Logan Paul after knocking out Conor McGregor in his final pro-outing. That said, the former five-weight champion also seems to have some serious plans regarding his basketball stints.

He was rumored to meet former boxing nemesis, Manny Pacquiao, in a charitable basketball game in the Philippines. The motive was to raise funds for both sides, which can serve as social welfare causes. While Pacquiao has had a basketball career in his home country, the idea seemed intriguing. Per reports, they were also planning to have retired NBA players on the team.

The idea, however, is yet to receive an official confirmation. Pacquiao is a presidential aspirant in the Philippines and seems extremely focused on his political activities. Meanwhile, Mayweather is rumored to return to boxing action and take on YouTuber Money Kicks in an exhibition in Dubai. Since both sides have their respective plans onboard, it’s hard to picture them colliding on a basketball court anytime soon.
