Following the Harvey Weinstein allegations, the #MeToo movement has picked up some powerful steam, even evolving into the #TimesUp initiative, which had its biggest moment to date at the 75th Golden Globes.
While women have rightfully been the voice of the movement, several men in the spotlight have been asked to make comments on the matter. One particular man, Floyd Mayweather, was asked during his interview with Men's Health. The retired professional boxing champion and current professional boxing promotor talked about his retirement plans, his flighty spending habits and his virtual reality boxing game.
Amongst the more frivolous questions was something more serious: sexual harassment. Having the conversation with Mayweather is especially loaded due to his many domestic violence allegations.
When asked about the #MeToo movement, Mayweather initially asked, "The who?" After being told that the movement is about sexual assault/harassment, the main man behind the infamous The Money Team went on to say, "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.'
The interviewer accurately corrected the boxing star and said that this movement is very different from casually claiming expensive items.
"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," exclaimed Mayweather.
The two went on to talk about his "sensitive side," which is when Mayweather finally spoke on the sexual harassment topic directly.
"Of course. I mean, you live and you learn," Mayweather said. "I think everyone, if you're in an uncomfortable position, you have to pray about it, you know, talk about it, and I think that, you know, sexual harassment, I don't think it's cool at all."
Well, okay then.
