Floyd Weather asked about #MeToo in 2018. Interviewer doesn't like response

Here's the really entertaining part.
While I'm not a huge fan of Mayweather, the writer of this article, Henry Bushnell, doesn't strike me as a manly man or that he'd be your typical reporter on boxing.
quote:
Floyd Mayweather is famous because he is a world-class athlete. He happens to be very good at punching other people, and avoiding their punches. On the other hand, he’s infamous for being a pretty disgusting human being. He has an extensive history of domestic violence. He’s misogynistic. He’s racist. He’s homophobic. The worst part is that his fame protects him from the repercussions that his various transgressions deserve. So much so that he apparently doesn’t care about being offensive.
quote:
The latest example came in an interview with Men’s Health. Mayweather wasn’t even really asked a question about the #MeToo movement – the wave of women speaking out about and denouncing sexual assault. It was simply part of a question that the interviewer never even got to. Because Mayweather cut her off. Here’s the exchange, with video below:
Here's the really entertaining part.
quote:
We’re asking a lot of men, in light of the #MeToo movement, how men can grow in 2018.
Mayweather: The who?
The #MeToo movement. Women speaking out about sexual assault.
Mayweather: When you say “me too” … When somebody is like, “I got a Rolls Royce, I be like ‘me too.'” When somebody say they got a private jet, I say, “Me too. I got two. Me too.”
This is a very different —
Mayweather: Well, I didn’t know! My Me Too movement from the beginning was whenever somebody said what they have I’m like, “me too.” Somebody say they got a billion dollars, I say, “I made a billion dollars, me too.”
quote:
It is not possible to be more ignorant or insensitive. It was easy, and almost necessary, for viewers to laugh in the moment. The interviewer likely felt she had to laugh, too. That doesn’t detract from how obnoxious and reprehensible the response was, though. The reporter’s prompting finally got Mayweather to say, somewhat uncomfortably, that “sexual harassment, I don’t think it’s cool at all.” It took a lot of stumbling over his answer to even get those words out.
While I'm not a huge fan of Mayweather, the writer of this article, Henry Bushnell, doesn't strike me as a manly man or that he'd be your typical reporter on boxing.

Agreed. I would have loved witnessing that take place.

Just checked his background, covers soccer for yahoo. So your assumption is correct.

Hard to hear about a twitter movement when you can't read.

Reality is, he could've answered this question in a number of epic ways.

Sort of what you expected him to look like.

Mayweather FIGHTS for a living. He's not a psychologist, healer, spiritualist or anything of the sort.
Seriously, what in the hell did the interviewer think he was gonna get by asking THAT question of a guy who makes money by hitting people?

That us a poorly written story. He wasn't asked about me-too but was asked? What? The clowns whibwrite for yahoo are jokes. This guy is a huge pussy who obviously doesn't realize that Mayweather spends his time wither training or spending his money, not watching Entertainment Tonight.
Based upon that picture he looks like the malnourished cousin of the reporter for "YouTube sports."

He wasn’t even manly enough to do the interview. He wrote an article about some woman interviewing Floyd.

I still rejected his AggyArk application.
Price of jars is going up and I'm not wasting one on his goofy arse.

Wouldn't want to get into a banjo dueling contest with him.
