Being a famous personality can be challenging at times. If you are one of the most famous sporting personalities in the world like Michael Jordan you just need to step outside of the house to be on the headlines. MJ was on the front page of every newspaper when he reportedly got himself into a scuffle. Jordan was reportedly seen separating two men as his wife was dragging him away from the chaos. One of the men who was supposedly involved in the altercation made a revelation.
The boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao took place in the year 2015 and was dubbed the fight of the century. The boxing fans were looking forward to the fight as it would settle the age-old question of who’s better. Mayweather showed his defensive prowess as he emerged as the winner after 12 rounds of scintillating boxing action. But the fight was not the only thing that went down that day as six-time champion Michael Jordan got himself involved in an altercation.

Michael Jordan was seemingly separating two men from getting involved in a fist fight after the Mayweather-Pacquaio fight. It was reported that the two men were rapper Wack 100 and internet personality and former gang leader Charleston White.
White is a rather controversial figure, as he has a criminal background. It was reported that he’s been to the juvenile center for an alleged assault. White opened up on the claims that he was the one that Jordan was separating.
Charleston White said, “These Ni**as really believe I was somewhere between Michael Jordan and Wack 100.” He made it clear that the claims made by many that MJ was separating him from attacking WACK 100 were wrong. This might cause one to wonder if the guy in the clip was not White.
This leaves the question – Who was Jordan separating in the viral video? Was White not part of the scuffle itself? It looks like only one NBA legend can answer the puzzling questions.
Yet, Jordan seems more interested in the business aspect of his retired career.
