\"Mayweather\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So apparently, Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn’t like to lose at anything, even plane rides.<\/p>\n

In boxer Ricky Hatton’s memoir, War and Peace: My Story<\/a>, he details a time when he and Mayweahter were flying to New York in separate planes and, well, just read below for the story.<\/p>\n

“A few minutes into the the journey, we’re chatting away, having a drink when the pilot gestures to me to come forward. \u2018Hey Ricky, listen to this idiot. He turns on the speaker and over the radio I hear Floyd arguing with the pilot of his plane behind: ‘I’m not letting that motherfucker get there before me, fucking overtake them!’ ‘We can’t do that, Sir,’ the pilot said. ‘Overtake that motherfu*ker — I’m the champ! I’ve got to get to New York first. I’ll pay whatever you want.'”<\/em><\/p>\n

I mean, does this really surprise anyone. The guy has an obscene amount of money and can basically buy what ever he wants, why wouldn’t he think he can pay to have a pilot fly past another plane just for the sake of landing first. Geez.<\/p>\n
