Undefeated boxing legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. recently took part in a charity basketball game known as the “50k charity challenge match.”
During the game, Mayweather came head-to-head with Larry “Bone Collector” Williams. Williams crossed Mayweather up on the court, resulting in “Money” getting his ankles broke and eating it on the court floor.
To make matters worse, Williams also sank a three-pointer. The entire audience in attendance gave an amused reaction while Mayweather himself laughed it off. Check out the clip here:
Mayweather is, arguably, the greatest boxer of all time with an undefeated record of 50-0. In his last outing, Mayweather picked up a TKO defeat over UFC star Conor McGregor. It also marked his 50th consecutive victory. There has been chatter about Mayweather potentially returning to the ring soon, however, the undefeated boxing legend seems to be enjoying retired life.
Rematches against the likes of Manny Pacquiao and McGregor certainly sound financially appealing, and Mayweather has been open to doing exhibition bouts similar to the one he did against Tenshin Nasukawa.
This past New Year’s Eve, Floyd Mayweather Jr. returned to combat sports action when he fought kickboxing sensation Tenshin Nasukawa. The pair competed in a boxing exhibition bout under the RIZIN banner. Not surprisingly, Mayweather made very qui…

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao put on the biggest boxing event in history back in 2015.
However, it looks like, if Freddie Roach had anything to say about it, the fight would’ve never happened. Prior to the contest, Pacquiao was dealing with a shoulder injury. Both Pacquiao and Mayweather apparently came to an agreement that each man could use painkillers, as “Money” was having issues with his hands.
Unfortunately, the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) wouldn’t allow Pacquiao to do so because he failed to report his shoulder injury on pre-fight medical documents. Roach told The Dan Patrick he tried to get the fight canceled, but was unsuccessful (via Boxing Scene):
“I didn’t try to stop that fight until I found out that the injury was that bad…. that the injury on his shoulder would need surgery to fix.
“So we were going to go into the fight with a bad shoulder, so we had an agreement that Mayweather could shoot his hands up, which he does often, because he has very fragile hands… so he uses a painkiller that he has in his hands so he can get to a fight, and we had [an agreement] that Manny could get a painkiller for his shoulder.”
Not Allowed On Fight Night?
Roach then claimed Pacquiao was not allowed to use it on fight night while Mayweather was:
“But on the night of the fight, he was allowed to use it and we weren’t,” Roach said. “Yes, [Mayweather’s camp knew about the shoulder injury]. There was a lot of money at stake. I still feel bad about letting that fight go, but I wasn’t powerful enough to stop that fight from happening.
“There were big promoters and so much money. The payday was tremendous. But I don’t do this just for the money, I do it for the love of the sport. I didn’t think Pacquiao was capable of fighting his best fight one-handed.”
Mayweather would go on to keep his undefeated streak alive, winning the bout via unanimous decision. For the past few years, talk of a rematch has circulated the boxing world, but nothing official has been made just yet.
