Floyd Mayweather rejected a fan's request for a photo Saturday, telling him that he "don't take pictures with guys with no painted nails."
The fan, who filmed the interaction, approached Mayweather after the Los Angeles Clippers had played the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA at the Staples Center in LA on Saturday.
In the video, which was shared with TMZ, Mayweather is heard saying: "You got painted nails. I'm not gonna take no picture with no guy with no painted nails," before his bodyguard ushers the fan away.

After Mayweather has moved on, the fan turns the camera on himself, calling Mayweather a "homophobe."
"Floyd doesn't want to take a picture with me because my nails are painted. Bruh, really?!" - he adds.

Mayweather's agent has denied that Mayweather didn't take a picture with the fan because of his nails, telling TMZ it was actually because he was in a rush to leave the game.
