Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather might have disappointed some of his fans back 2021 after he refused to take a picture. Moreover, the reason why Mayweather denied the young fan this opportunity might be even more disappointing. The former 5-division champ dismissed the young fan because of his painted nails.

This happened when ‘Money’ made an appearance for a game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Memphis Grizzlies. The teenage fan approached Mayweather when he stated that he didn’t take pictures with guys who had painted nails.

It is widely known that former NBA superstar Dennis Rodman and UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya sport painted nails and are well within their right to do so. However, although Mayweather might not agree with these fashion choices, it was certainly unsportsmanly for him to deny the young fan a photo.
