Remember the time NBA legend Michael Jordan was involved in a brawl? To be more specific, ‘His Airness’ once played the mediator in an altercation between a fan and one of his bodyguards.

Michael Jordan had gone to Las Vegas to watch the highly anticipated Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Manny Pacquaio fight. The $300 million word fight took place at the MGM Grand Arena on May 2, 2015.
