"He did not f**k me with at all" - Adin Ross gets denied by Floyd Mayweather as boxing legend asks streamer to pay for on-camera interaction
Kick star Adin Ross went live from the BOXR Gym in Miami, Florida, on August 25, 2023. After a friendly 2v1 fight with Ryan Garcia, the streamer decided to meet American boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, things did not go as planned, as the 46-year-old immediately asked Ross to pay upfront if he wanted to have an on-camera interaction.
Claiming that he has to "own his footage," Mayweather remarked:
"I've got to own my footage. You can't film me for free. Run a check! Who's company is it? (The streamer responds by saying it's his company) Yeah? Where's my check?"
In response, Ross said he was "broke" and wished to be as wealthy as Mayweather:
"Bro, I've got no money. I know your money, I've got no money, bro. I'm broke. I want to get money like you. I've got no money, bro. S**t, I wish! S**t... I got you."
Mayweather was seemingly uninterested in interacting with Ross unless he was paid. Following their five-minute discussion, the indefinitely banned Twitch content creator stated:
"He did not rock with me at all. At all! He did not f**k with me at all, bro. He didn't look at me. He just went like that. It's cool, bro. No, he did not rock with me at all! He did not f**k with me at all. It's all good. Chat, meet your idols, (this is) what happens, bro."
