Floyd Mayweather Caught on Video Rejecting Male Fan’s Picture Request Because his Fingernails Were Painted!

[Mexi-Box]

No, not really. I don't think it was strategically edited.

The video was definitely carefully edited to portray a preferred narrative, because we didn’t get to see Floyd’s direct interaction with the kid.

Money May couldn’t have seen the kids painted nails from the small snippet portrayed by the video, so he must have seen them beforehand.

If you’d actually watched the video, the kid says “I didn’t mean to rush him like that!”

That's the story here. In the video, that's the important bit.

The video was definitely carefully edited to portray a preferred narrative, because we didn’t get to see Floyd’s entire interaction with the kid.

If TMZ shared the video in its entirety, we’d be able to make a judgement call, because we would appreciate the actual context of the situation, but we can’t!

Floyd’s actions may have been unreasonable… or they might be wholly justified! Either way, we don’t know, because we only have access to a cherry-picked extract of the video.

I don't know what happened at the start, but if it was anything other than his nails that bothered Floyd, I'd've thought he'd have mentioned it.

You're right, nobody knows what happened at the start, though I suspect TMZ and the kid does!

Have you ever heard of the phrase “God of the gaps”?

Whenever there’s a lack of a scientific explanation for the existence of certain natural phenomena, religious nut cases cite those knowledge gaps as evidence or proof of God’s existence.

Basically, they feel the only possible explanation for the existence of the mysteries of the unexplained, is divine intervention from a supreme being!

That’s precisely what you’re doing here, because you’ve resorted to using assumptions to address all knowledge gaps, which is exactly what TMZ wants you to do!

That’s the reason why the media always manipulates their video content (or cherry-picks certain quotes) to fulfil their preferred narrative – to tell you the story they want you to buy into.

Though I'm not a fan of celebrity culture, so I've never heard of the 'gotchas' you mentioned, so I suppose it's plausible that something else happened first, though it seems odd that Floyd wouldn't mention it.

You’re making more assumptions to fill in additional knowledge gaps.

Watching the entire video would have addressed all our queries.

It's possible that the story wouldn't have been interesting if we saw the entire video.

You know who the kid is? I think it may be more of a leap to call him a 'social media whore' and a 'weirdo', to be honest.

The nature of the video and how it’s been distributed speaks for itself!

You're writing an essay trying to defend Mayweather ROFL! Un-Enlightened One.

[Bandog]

Let me guess..the person with the painted fingernails is the OP?

[brilo33]

so what tho i doubt ryan garica was that bortherd

[Lackeos]

The rep also clarified that the teenager’s accusation of Mayweather being homophobic couldn’t be further from the truth.

It's quite clear that the accusation couldn't be closer to the truth.

The "Mayweather Fingernail" video only shows part of the interaction and could be presented out-of-context, because how would Floyd know the guy had painted nails?

By looking at them?

You didn't watch the video did you?

If you did, then you wouldn't have asked such a silly question!

Dude, what the f*ck are you talking about? Anyone who watched the video wouldn't be complaining about it being out-of-context or asking how Mayweather knew his nails were painted. Mayweather said his nails were painted, so yeah, just like lookingaround87 said, Mayweather looked at his nails and saw that they were painted. You're acting like Mayweather didn't say what he said or something. Seriously, seeing the video doesn't help your argument at all, it only hurts it. Like... do you have a non-idiotic theory for why Mayweather would say his nails were painted if they weren't?

Also, let's not forget, his nails were painted. So that must've just been a good guess, right?


And Mayweather must just say sh*t just to say it, right? Like, someone with brown hair walks up to him and Mayweather will just say "I DON'T TAKE PICTURES WITH PEOPLE WITH BLUE HAIR," right? Like, Mayweather is just a random word generator? He's not saying words for any particular reason? Is that it? Are you theorizing that he has Tourette's or something?

[Lackeos]

I never thought I'd see the day but I'm with Mayweather 100% on freedom of choice, especially regarding the vaccine.

Your body, your choice.

Big pharma and all their puppet governments will need to be held accountable for all the thousands of Covid vaccine deaths and injuries.

Men, women, and now children.
What next? Institutional infanticide?

The 21st century holocaust.

And we let it happen.

If you’re not a troll, you’re a retard. Please don’t have kids, it would be a shame to create another generation of people as stupid as you.

I agree with him too and I've got 7 kids. All unvaccinated. How about that little man?

[lazboy]

Imagine EO’s reaction if it was Kovalev, Crawford or GGG instead of Money May.

[Enlightened-One]

You didn't watch the video did you?

If you did, then you wouldn't have asked such a silly question!

Like... do you have a non-idiotic theory for why Mayweather would say his nails were painted if they weren't?

Floyd could have only seen the kids fingernails before the start of the video.

Therefore, the video was carefully-edited to portray Floyd in a poor light.

We didn’t see the entirety of the interaction.

You can pretend otherwise, but then you'd be lying, wouldn't you?

You can go “blah, blah, blah…. Angry words… angry words…. Insults… more insults…” all you want, but I’m speaking the truth.

Glad to see that some celebrities still hold values. I used to think that "who cares," but as we have seen with American culture recently, there is a line that people shouldn't freely cross. We're already getting people trying to normalize pedophilia. We just keep opening the flood-gates to these absolute degenerates in our society.

Also, I'm pretty sure Mayweather is almost impossible to cancel like Dave Chappell. The dude beat his wife and has a host of skeletons in his closet.

What has Paedophilia got to do with some kid painting his nails?

Men have worn make up on and off since ancient egypt, it's just an adornment. Calm down...breathe.

If Floyd has fears of people with painted nails, then he's a complete bellend.

It sounds like you paint your nails. Yes, people who do that should get humiliated. We've lost a lot when people can't take responsibility for his or her action. When I was a kid, you'd get beat up for doing that. Floyd doesn't fear that dude. It's a stupid way to put it. He's just reacting to some dude that looks silly with painted fingernails like a girl.

I don't paint my nails you pathetic whining little fanny. I'm just not bothered by people who do, unlike you and Floyd, you upright pussyhole.

Poor fellow, watching nonsense with his pet parrot in his moms basement fuming with jealousy at me, my small army and my millions. Millions.... atleast your boy Dillian will also get a few when he gets koed by Fury aye? That will make you feel better.

Maybe if you hug Dillians nuts tighter he'll share a few of them with you.

I used to paint my nails when I was that kids age.

[jamesmcdonnell]

I guess in some posters' eyes that makes you a degenerate

[gilgamesh]

Well, I'd prefer it if Floyd didn't care about a kid with painted nails. I'd prefer it if no one cared about kids with painted nails. Painted nails are pretty close to the bottom of the list of things I care about. Floyd's reaction to painted nails are only marginally above that. I imagine that kid was a bit upset about it, though.

To be fair, the video was strategically edited and excluded most of Floyd’s interaction with the weirdo with the painted nails.

Anyone with a modicum of intellect would surely ask the reason why either the social media whore or TMZ intentionally refrained from showing the entirety of the interaction.

Don’t you agree?

Why would anyone give a sh*t about the interaction?

[margaret thatcher]

"You got painted nails, I don’t take pictures with guys with no painted nails."

well, i woulda just guess he means what he says by this. but maybe he really meant that he wanted a handjob from those pretty nails? since we are speculating on hidden meanings and all that

I honestly believe a quarter of the forum are intolerant morons. Another quarter have double standards on what is acceptable depending on what boxer did what.
And the remaining half are normal everyday guys that just want to talk boxing and have good conversation

Don’t you agree?

Why would anyone give a sh*t about the interaction?

For me personally, the far-left media are desperately seeking “gotcha” moments to “cancel” famous celebrities or sportsmen when they least expect it.

I feel they deliberately manipulate or misrepresent information to fulfil their own agenda (i.e. CNN vs. Joe Rogan).

That said, for all I know, Floyd Mayweather Jr. might indeed be a bigot, but if that really was the case, then why did TMZ intentionally refrain from showing the entire video?

Because after all, the kid did say he “didn’t mean to rush him like that!”, but we never got to see it, which makes me think TMZ are hiding something, probably because it undermines their sensationalist preferred narrative.

Like I said before, I don’t really care whether Mayweather Jr. is an utterly rancid individual or not, it’s more about the truth and trying to understand the reason why TMZ intentionally edited that video.

I don’t really want to see current or retired fighters falling prey to “gotcha” style journalism and “cancel” culture.

I used to not be bothered until I saw the trends that happen when people stop being bothered. Go and paint your toenails and fingernails you poofter, but don't think I'll give you an autograph.

Wow I'm surprised in this say and age, that people are still so intolerant
So you think the LGBTQ should be beaten?
In sure Jewish and Black communities should also be persecuted.
Dude go to hel. You suck

It's simply ridiculous to conflate toleration with beatings and persecution.

Someone needs to get some kind of sense of perspective back.

And it's not Floyd Mayweather.

His initial comment was as a kid you would get beat, then proceeds to say that today people are to tolerant.
Maybe I am reading between the lines but I would venture to say he is saying people need to still beat gays.
If that is not persecution what is?

[margaret thatcher]

just some girly dude who painted his nails, big deal. floyd shouldnt be such a snowflake over it. the dudes who react like that are just showing that they secretly get a boner from it , that's what makes them uncomfortable

[tiny_acres]

Like I said previously. Floyd is an all time great boxer no doubt. But he will never be considered a great human. Would anyone expect Floyd to be a genuine nice guy?

[Lenny Cravats]

When did painting nails make you gay? It's been a thing in alternative scenes for donkeys years and men have worn make up for hundreds of years.
Like I said, I used to paint my nails.... And I've had sex with a lot of women, and no men.
If you think painted nails is a sign of being gay, then you've got to be thick as pigshit.

[H8Usernames]

I never did appreciate Shitty Mayweather. He said it himself, Chavez sr, Pernell Whitaker etc they were shit and that's the names that his star opponents built their resumes on so world titles, p4p ratings etc his opponents were mostly fake. And then there was the pathetic ducking of Shane Mosley. Perhaps Mayweathers real greatness equals Bernard Hopkins. Perhaps it is close to Manny Pacquiao but does it exceed that of Roy Jones jr? Hell no. Does it even exceed the greatness of his victim Canelo Alvarez? Very hard to say.

Regardless this thing about standing up for what's right and good that's a good thing. The way he beat that youtuber was also impressive sure one is a youtuber and the other is an atg but Mayweather started his career at junior lightweight and the paul guy is a natrual cruiserweight.

And then we have this gem:

Genaro Hernández former junior lightweight world champion and Mayweather opponent died from cancer on June 7, 2011, at the age of 45.Floyd Mayweather paid for Hernández's funeral expenses.

So even though Floyd was no #1 I'm on #TeamMayeather
