Clippers forward Matt Barnes has a reputation for being a bit of a hot head. On Friday night during Clippers vs. Cavs at Staples Center, Barnes got into an exchange with boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was in his usual courtside seats.
Matt Barnes and Floyd Mayweather are screaming at each other. It’s getting heating.

Barnes yelled Mayweather and grabbed his groin. Mayweather yelled back at him. Barnes said, “Oh, I’m scared.” Grabbed his groin again. — Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) January 17, 2015
Barnes was upset when I asked him about Mayweather. He said he was only taking basketball questions.

No word on what started the mini back and forth. Floyd was at the game with his boxing protégé, Adrien Broner. The irony, Jay Z – who Broner had recently told to suck his d*ck for having the audacity to want to sign him to Roc Nation sports – was also at the game. I’m told Floyd didn’t speak to Jay last night either.
