Adin Ross, the Twitch sensation who’s usually as cocky as a rooster at sunrise, recently had his feathers ruffled by none other than Floyd “Money” Mayweather.
In what can only be described as a gloriously cringe-worthy encounter, Ross attempted to cozy up to the boxing legend, only to be swiftly reminded that he ain’t exactly rolling in the Benjamins. Mayweather, with the finesse of a seasoned pro, effortlessly dished out a reality check that left Ross scrambling for his misplaced bravado.
The saga began at Mayweather’s famed gym, where Ross, likely smelling the allure of clout, decided to pop in for a surprise appearance. Armed with his trusty camera, Ross waltzed in like a peacock ready to display his plumage. However, Mayweather’s crew wasn’t about to let Ross run his free promotion train. The camera was a no-go, and Ross found himself suddenly camera-shy, his lens fixated on the floor. Let the humiliation games begin!
Mayweather’s unmistakable voice pierced through the awkward silence, asking the million-dollar question, “Where’s my check? Can’t be filming me for free.” Ross, in a valiant attempt to salvage his ego, mustered up the courage to respond, “I ain’t got no money, bro. I’m broke. I want to get money, like you.”
Kudos to Ross for aiming high, but Mayweather wasn’t buying the sob story. He swiftly debunked Ross’s financial fib, reminding him of that rumored NBA money (millions by the way) from his Kick contract. Ouch, that’s gotta sting more than a knockout punch!

In a desperate bid to avoid further embarrassment, Ross, with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop, deflected with a “Not that NBA money, bro…” But alas, the camera’s microphone failed to capture the rest of the conversation.
The incident serves as a harrowing reality check for the new breed of digital age celebrities, affectionately dubbed “streaming celebrities.” Ross, who usually struts around like a rooster in a henhouse, found himself plucked and served on a platter by the iconic boxer.
In a world where clout-chasing reigns supreme and the egos of influencers could fuel a small country, Mayweather’s schooling serves as a breath of fresh air.
