There's a reason Floyd goes by the name "Money" Mayweather, and he proved it late Thursday night in Miami.
Popular streamer Adin Ross was streaming live at BOXR Gym for a friendly 2v1 fight with Ryan Garcia, but controversy struck when he tried to go meet Floyd Mayweather on camera. The 46-year-old boxing legend was clear: if Ross wanted to film him, he needed to be paid up front.
Money Mayweather refuses to meet with Adin Ross for free
"I've got to own my footage," the Money Team leader said as Ross approached with his cameras. "You can't film me for free. Run a check!"
During the interaction, Floyd referenced the "NBA money" that he heard Ross is rumored to be making in his undisclosed contract with streaming platform Kick. Ross signed the deal in March 2023, which he claimed was the biggest streaming deal ever at the time, placing it somewhere in the range of Ninja's $50 million deal with now-disbanded platform Mixer.
Ross gained popularity by streaming 2K basketball video games with Bronny James. He was banned from Twitch eight times, primarily for having hateful slurs in his videos and his chat, before eventually leaving the platform to sign with Kick.
