What caused the fight between T.I and Floyd Mayweather? 

According to reports, T.I approached ‘Money’ Mayweather as he sat at a Fatburger restaurant with his entourage. T.I came and started jawing at Mayweather and within moments, the altercation turned into a chair swinging frenzy.

The altercation took place after T.I’s wife Tameka insulted the unbeaten world champion. In a video released from the altercation, we can hear Floyd saying, “control your b**** motherf*****.”

Bodyguards from each side surrounded their respective employer as they rushed to get away from the scene. Mayweather took off in a Bugatti as his bodyguards, all dressed up in ‘TMT’ gear, surrounded his car.

In an interview with Nicole Bitchie, Mayweather explained what exactly happened. “I throw my daughter [Iyanna] a big [14th] birthday bash today. I’m eating at Fatburger and next thing you know, he walk in talking about we need to talk again.”

“And then I told him, ‘You need to get the f–k outta my face. That’s what you better do.’ And then he said, ‘I ain’t talking to all these people so you ain’t gotta talk loud.’ I said, ‘Listen, don’t come to my face with no disrespectful s–t. Like I told you before, you must’ve forgot what I did for a living.'”

“He said, ‘You do in the ring, I do it in the streets.’ I said, ‘My man, I do it everywhere. You can find out if you want to.’ Just like that. Then a couple of words exchange and people got to pushing and a riot kinda broke out. And then a bunch of chaos and that was basically it.”
