In a recent interview with Men’s Health magazine, Floyd MayweatherĀ cracked a few insensitive jokes at the expense of the #MeToo movement. When asked what he thought about it all, the boxer denied he knew of the movement’s existence. Maybe he was thinking ofĀ Clipse’s song ā€œMr. Me Too.ā€

ā€œWhen somebody is like, ā€˜I got a Rolls Royce,’ I be like 'me too,'" Mayweather said. ā€œWhen somebody say they got a private jet, I say, ā€˜Me too. I got two. Me too.’"

Mayweather is deservedly receiving backlash for his asinine comments, with many on Twitter pointing out that the semi-retired boxer is also a serial domestic abuser. Mayweather has been involved in multiple abuse cases. Perhaps he really didn’t know about the movement, but it's more likely that he didn’t really care to address a cause that works to shame his actions and the actions of men like him. ā€œWell, I didn't know! My Me Too movement from the beginning was whenever somebody said what they have I'm like, "me too,ā€ Mayweather said.

When he finally got to the topic of sexual assault he had this illuminating nugget to offer: ā€œI think that, you know, sexual harassment, I don't think it's cool at all.ā€

You don’t say, Floyd.Ā
