According to TMZ.com, it was allegedly triggered by rapper T.I., who “took a swing” at Mayweather who was at the Fatburger on the Vegas Strip early Sunday morning (Monday night in Manila).
“According to several witnesses … Floyd was eating inside the restaurant when T.I. walked up and started jawing at Floyd,” the TMZ report said.
TMZ reported that the two men’s fight also caused “a chair-tossing brawl in the Fatburger.”
“We’ve obtained multiple videos,” TMZ added. “It’s unclear what caused the beef, but we’re told T.I. swung at Floyd … their giant bodyguards jumped in to separate them … and then the all-out melee began.”
The five-division world boxing champion was heard yelling at T.I., “control your bitch.”
Police arrived at the scene but they were late as the two had left the restaurant.
Except from the restaurant worker, there was no mention in the TMZ report if Mayweather was hurt in the brawl.
