Boxing champ Floyd Mayweather has gotten into a brawl with rapper T.I. causing a scene outside a fast food joint in Las Vegas. What could have caused the two men to fight?

Mayweather has another match to go, but it's not inside the ring this time, but against rapper T.I. According to reports, the fight arose from an Instagram photo posted by Tiny, T.I.'s wife.

Tameka "Tiny" Cottle posed beside Mayweather's daughter, and captioned her post "new boo." T.I. obviously found this disrespectful, and might have thought that the boxer is getting close to his wife.

"Had to come celebrate with my new boo @moneyyaya Happy Birthday bae," wrote Tiny as the caption on the photo.

When the rapper went up to Mayweather, the boxer reprimanded the rapper. That's when the musician started to swing out of control.

For those who found out about the fight, it's normal to think that Mayweather might have gotten T.I. in a snap, but it was the other way around. It was said that the rapper took so many shots at the athlete. Either way, the fight could have been avoided if the two decided to handle their differences through decent conversation.

TMZ reported that Mayweather had no plans on stealing the rapper's wife, and how T.I. reacted was out of control. The boxer added that it was Tiny's idea to "hang out" in Las Vegas. Mayweather continued saying that he still wants to be friends with the rapper and his wife, despite everything that had happened and the publicity surrounding it.
