Who knew that jewelry shopping in London could double as a crash course in Middle East geopolitics—or, more accurately, in how not to argue about it? Floyd “Money” Mayweather, the undefeated boxing legend, walked into Hatton Garden hoping to pick up something shiny. He’s no stranger to wealth, but guess what else he’s up to these days? Help orphans in Israel. Yes, real children who lost their parents. Truly a monstrous thing, right? Apparently the self-appointed intellectual giants of London’s streets think so.
As The Sun report, a pack of about eight to ten future Nobel laureates (with 20 or so spectators cheering from the sidelines) surrounded Mayweather and decided it was time to test their moral superiority through the ancient art of…attempted assault .
Some pro-Pales just racially abused, tried to beat and chase boxing star Floyd Mayweather out of an expensive store in London. This is not protest. It is a hateful, violent mob. pic.twitter.com/oSoKwyBWCK

A witness told The Sun, “Someone said Mayweather was shopping when asked why he supports Israel. He doubled down and said he was proud to support the Jews.” How dare he? How dare this man bring gifts to orphans and express pride in supporting a Jewish community? Clearly, these are grounds for a well-reasoned discussion – just kidding, they tried to hit him.
“Then someone turned on him because of that. It seemed very purposeful,” the witness told The Sun. Take notes, people: When you disagree with someone who supports orphans, of course, your best fallback is to try a sucker punch. Hats off to these street level philosophers. Nothing screams “We’re on the right side of history” like forming a mob to attack a man who was just looking at shiny objects in a jewelry store.
Oh, and let’s not forget the racist slurs. Because if attacking a peaceful shopper isn’t classy enough, racial slurs should really hammer home the fact that these are world-class people we’re dealing with. Another witness said: “Floyd took a few hits, but his security tried to push people back.” So let’s get this straight: a professional fighter, who could probably knock this intellectual down in his fists if he wanted to, didn’t even bother to fight back. Probably because even he knew stooping to their level would be like debating quantum physics with a rusty spade.
They pushed Mayweather into a black 4×4 and tapped the roof twice—probably the universal signal for “Get us away from these drooling morons.” The car sped off, leaving behind a crowd that must have felt incredibly proud. After all, what did they achieve? They must have shown that guy who dared to help orphans and say something nice about Jewish people. The nerve!
As if to really gild the lily, Mayweather is one of the first major Western figures to have dared to show support for Israel after horrific terrorist attacks. He even launched the Mayweather Israel initiative to give free birthday gifts to orphans. But who needs reason or empathy when you have a pack of screamers who think fists and objections are the ultimate form of diplomacy?
