Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather was sitting courtside at the NBA game of Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat tonight. Bam Adebayo and the Heat lost 108-110 in a close game against the Hawks. Markedly, Floyd was seen heckling the Heat players with his hysterical remarks.
Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, known for his notoriously flamboyant lifestyle, can be seen talking trash to multiple players in the clip.

Floyd Mayweather is notably a big NBA fan and has even played in multiple celebrity games with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Quavo, Bone Collector, and more. In fact, in 2016, he also expressed his desire to buy an NBA team. He stated that he was taking a step back from betting to pursue his dreams of owning a team.

When asked which team he has his eyes set on, he stated that he does not have a team in mind in particular. Clearly he has not taken any further steps in that direction, but that does not stop him from making regular appearances at NBA games.
How is the Miami Heat faring currently in the NBA?
Even though NBA players are tough and know how to deal with hecklers, getting constantly jeered at probably did not help their chances today. Despite losing tonight’s game, the Heat are currently holding a win-loss record of 29-17. As a result, they are still 3rd in the Eastern Conference just behind the Nets and Bulls.

The Heat were missing Kyle Lowry tonight. Notably, Gabe Vincent filled in those shoes getting 14 points and 9 assists in 38 minutes of playing time. Further, Jimmy Butler put up an impressive 13-8-8 on the stat sheet in 36 minutes. However, Bam Adebayo truly balled out, scoring 21 points in just 34 minutes along with 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
