Floyd Mayweather and Devin Haney's dad in heated argument after Ryan Garcia loss

Floyd Mayweather and Devin Haney's dad clashed in an X-rated argument after his son's shock defeat by Ryan Garcia.

Haney lost his unbeaten record when he was dropped three times by Garcia on the way to a points loss last weekend. The world champion still held onto his belt despite the defeat as Garcia missed weight by 3.2lb and was ineligible to win the title. Mayweather congratulated Garcia on the phone after his win, but clashed with Haney's dad Bill during a heated 10-minute argument.

Mayweather asked Bill on Instagram Live: "I reached out to you to let you know that I don’t have nothing against you, when did you and me go wrong? When did you and me start having beef? Last time I seen you in Miami, we kicked it and had a good time. Now all of a sudden it seems like Bill Haney is my enemy."

Bill said that boxing was in the 'Devin Haney era' before his son's loss to Garcia and even hinted that a sparring session between Haney and Mayweather played a part in the boxing legend's retirement. "I feel like you’re bull**** based on your actions about everybody that’s been in the town that’s been down with you," Bill told Mayweather.

"They doing dirtball bad, ain’t nobody doing real good f****ing with you. You told me about what you'd do with Tank, you seen what I did with my son? When you went to go talk and do the deal, it wasn't something he felt like he wanted to do. He wanted to be a boss so the deal didn't happen."

Mayweather was desperate to get a word in whilst Bill ranted and brought up his flawless 50-0 record whilst addressing Haney's defeat. "Congratulations on you having an undefeated fighter in the gym, but I am undefeated under the lights. Is your fighter undefeated under the lights? "Bill, I don't have to have a p***ing contest with you," he said.

"You know what time it is with me when I see you. The Haney business will be continuing, have I ever needed your help with anything? My son needs me, tomorrow today and every day. We don't need you for dog s***," Bill responded. The pair then awkwardly laughed as the argument ended before Mayweather told Bill to phone him directly.
