Floyd
Mayweather is still undefeated in Las Vegas after he and rapper T.I.
became embroiled in a huge melee which caused chaos at a city Fatburger
on Saturday morning.
Videos
from that evening show chairs being thrown inside the burger joint
while 37-year-old Mayweather screams, presumably at T.I., for him to
'control your b**** motherf*****'.
Witnesses
to the brawl said that T.I. approached Mayweather while he was eating
and began to verbally abuse him before he allegedly threw a punch at the
undefeated eight-time world champion.

Pound-for-pound
champion Mayweather and the 33-year-old 'I'm Serious' rapper, whose
real name is Clifford Harris, faced off after the hip-hop star's wife,
Tameka aka Tiny, insulted the fighter.
Both men's entourage's launched into furious fighting inside Fatburger as the two multi-millionaires squared-off.
Eventually the Vegas police showed up, but by then both T.I. and Mayweather had left.
Mayweather
left in a £1.8 million Limited Edition Grand Sport Bugatti, which he
purchased last week after his £19million fight with Marco Maidana, from
which he emerged victorious.
According to TMZ,
the fight was sparked by a photograph that T.I.'s wife Tameka posted to
Instagram of herself and Floyd's daughter, Lyanna, writing the girl was
her 'new boo.'
This
apparently upset T.I., who felt that it was disrespectful and
confronted Mayweather at the burger joint because of the photograph.
Mayweather will have his next fight on September 13, ruling out a potential meeting with Amir Khan.
Calm before the storm: T.I. attended the LIQUID Pool Lounge at ARIA with fellow rapper Nicki Minaj shortly before the fight
Cause of concern: Lyanna Mayweather appeared in a
picture with T.I.'s wife Tameka - which Tameka captioned up with the
message that Lyanna was 'new boo'
All smiles: Mayweather pictured with TI's wife Tameka sometime before the fight broke out
Mayweather Promotions chief executive Leonard Ellerbe confirmed a to-be-determined opponent.
Khan,
who impressed on the Mayweather undercard with an excellent win over
Luis Collazo, is unable to fight in September because he observes
Ramadan.
'Floyd will go on September 13 and we're looking at who he's going to fight and where he is going to fight,' Ellerbe told ESPN.
'Obviously,
Las Vegas is his home and the MGM Grand is always the leading candidate
but we will take a look at our other options.'
