According to the report on Nypost and Independent, it was after the NBA battle between LA Clippers vs Memphis Grizzlies that the young fan approached Mayweather for photos.

Mayweather was about to honour his request before he saw the fan had painted fingers.

The report added that the American boxer left the scene immediately telling the young fan that he don't take photos with anyone with painted fingers.

A video of the incident shows the undefeated boxer telling the young chap something to the effect of:

“You got painted nails, I don’t take pictures with guys with no painted nails.''

Before Floyd Mayweather retired from boxing, the American had total number of 50 fights and he won all which remains an impressive record in his career.

However, there have been talks for Floyd Mayweather to come out of retirement, but the American is not ready to go into professional boxing again.

Recently, undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather once again took time out to show off his wealth on social media.

The 44-year-old who won all 50 bouts before hanging his gloves had a stack of $100 notes while he was probably trying to ensure it was complete.

Despite retiring in August 2017, the 'moneyman' remains one of the richest sportsmen in the world with a value of about $450 million.

He also owns a chain of investments all across the United States while he boasts of a fleet of exotic cars.

The retired boxer also shared a post of himself taking a road jog earlier today with his teammates coming behind him with bicycles.
