Powered by

Floyd Mayweather was asked about his thoughts on the #Metoo movement and the retired boxer answered the only way he knows how.

During an interview with Men’s Health magazine, the undefeated fighter was questioned about his take on the hashtag, which has seen a number of women around the world share their stories of sexual assault and harassment.

“The who?” Mayweather responded when asked about the campaign.

“When you say, ‘Me too’ … when somebody is like, ‘I got a Rolls Royce, I be like, ‘Me too,”‘ Mayweather continued.

“When somebody say they got a private jet, I say, ‘Me too. I got two. Me too."

The 40-year-old has been charged with domestic violence on numerous occasions against different women and insisted that he hadn’t heard of the movement.

“Well, I didn’t know!” he said.

“My ‘Me Too’ movement from the beginning was whenever somebody said what they have I’m like, ‘Me too.’ Somebody say they got a billion dollars, I say, ‘I made a billion dollars, me too.”

The interviewer then asked Mayweather about his sensitive side, and that’s when ‘Money’ finally realised he should denounce sexual harassment.

“Of course. I mean, you live and you learn,” Mayweather said.

“I think everyone, if you’re in an uncomfortable position, you have to pray about it, you know, talk about it, and I think that, you know, sexual harassment, I don’t think it’s cool at all.”
