Pound-for-pound boxing champ, Floyd Mayweather, has been blocked from entering Australia over his history of violence towards women, ending plans for a two-day promotional tour due to begin on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Mayweather posted a video of himself on a Carribean Island on Tuesday getting a “fish pedicure”.
Somewhere in another country… getting a fish pedicure.

The collapse of the tour is a blow to prominent publicist Max Markson, who could be facing financial losses after booking venues at Crown casino and Darling Island Wharf in Sydney for events on Thursday and Friday nights.
The gala event cost $200 to $1000-a-plate or $2000 to $10,000 for a table.
Mayweather was originally booked for dinner and nightclub appearances in Sydney and Melbourne on January 29 and 30, but they were cancelled and changed to February 5 and 6.
Mayweather, who is the highest paid athlete in the world after making $141 million last year for only two fights, was denied a visa just hours before he was due to fly to Australia via private plane with a 30-person entourage.
