Ordinarily, any sports celebrity would be more than willing to give their autograph to fans. But in the case of Floyd Mayweather Jr., it seems the retired boxing great has a certain "no-sharing" policy in play -- meaning if a fan wants his autograph, it should be only him on the item where it would be signed and no one else.

It appears this is the new rule in place for the Flamboyant One when a female fan asked for his autograph last weekend during the Manny Pacquiao vs. Keith Thurman fight in Las Vegas. According to a report from TMZ Sports, Mayweather initially grabbed the glove and was ready to sign it. However, after inspecting it, he saw several other names (undisclosed) who signed and pulled back.

"You already got some names on it, baby. You gotta have gloves with just me on it!!"

Gangsta!

Just tells you what kinda person he is.

....a twat?

So just have him sign it first... then everyone else.

I was thinking just that..

Can't control who you meet first though can you?

I'm pretty sure if I was a celebrity of any sort my policy would be "get the f*ck outta my face with that autograph bullsh*t" about 90% of the time so anybody signing anything for anybody is nicer than I'd be a great deal of the time

The 10% exception would be some chick I wanted to rail or somebody that otherwise hit it off with me, and became more than just an autograph seeker.

Shouldn’t this be on the “Boxing History” forum?

Just yanking chains.

I didn't think autographs were a thing anymore.

I thought we'd crossed into the selfie age.

... Or if your signature was used as part of a charity fundraiser. Then your policy of not signing all sorts would make it rarer and more valuable- thus making the charity more money
