Floyd Mayweather is known for his spotless record inside the ring, but he nearly caught his first “L” at a pool party in Las Vegas.
According to UFC star Aljamain Sterling, he was ready and willing to fight Money Mayweather after Floyd aggressively pursued his girlfriend at a pool party. Let’s take it back to 2015, Mayweather arrives on the scene with his massive crew and begins to order drinks from his VIP section. Sterling and his girlfriend, enjoying themselves a short distance away, are greeted with a messenger sent by Floyd to scoop up his girl.
Aljamain Sterling’s manhood was challenged in flagrant fashion. Here’s his account of not backing down to Floyd and giving his girl the option to leave via Total Pro Sports.
“She turned him down, but he was unrelentless as he continued to signal for her to come down before sending a member of TMT (The Money Team) to try and convince her to meet ‘Money’.Here is Sterling account of what happened: “So, pretty much we get there and Mayweather’s not even there yet, but we’re on top of the mezzanine drinking or whatever and later on that morning he strolls through with about 30 guys and he had his Louis Vuitton beach towel on and everyone’s watching his entrance,” he recalled.
“We all go to the railing to see it, and then we’re like show’s over, we just saw who came in and so no big deal. I’m a fan of Mayweather but I’m not some jockey. I saw the guy walk in, OK that’s cool, and then I go about my own business the rest of the day.
“I guess my girlfriend was still over there at the railing looking over with my training partner’s girlfriend and (Mayweather) points up to her and she’s looking around and they look at each other and she’s like ‘I think he’s pointing at you’ (gesturing towards Sterling’s girlfriend). She points at herself and he nods like ‘Yeah, you.’ She didn’t really pay him no mind, she just kind of shook her head like ‘I’m with somebody’ and she’s laughing about it and blushing a little bit.”
Sterling continued by saying: “After that, he sends a guy up there. So, he comes up by the end, by security, and we come down there. I guess he was telling someone to call the girls and we both end up speaking to the guy. I was like, ‘I don’t think this guy realises what he’s getting himself into.’ I don’t care how many guys he’s with, he needs to realise this isn’t the place where he just picks out any girl he wants and that’s not how it works over here by our section. He was like ‘You guys can both come over’ and I was like ‘No thanks, I’m straight.’ And at the end of the day if my girlfriend went, it’s kind of like – she can obviously find her bags outside the hotel room, if you get my drift on that. But, so he sends that guy over and I pretty much tell him like it is – I’m an undefeated MMA fighter, you’re an undefeated boxer. If you really want to find out what’s better MMA or boxing today, you can come over and we can figure this out.”
Much respect to Sterling for standing his ground and not being intimidated by the fame or entourage.
