Floyd Mayweather Jr. played table tennis with his good friend Usher ahead of his exhibition match against Japanese Mikuru Asakura.
‘Money’ facetiously bragged about defeating the R&B singer and performer at ping-pong. Sharing short clips of their table tennis game, Mayweather wrote on Instagram:
“@usher You already know my slogan. ALL WORK IS EASY WORK. I’m not going to lie, you got me when it comes to skating. But when it comes to ping pong or anything else, I can’t be fucked with. Let’s play again tonight- I don’t care if I have to have my ping pong table brought to Girl Collection. If you feel you can beat me then meet me there. I’ll beat your ass and then we can play some spades so bring your partner @boogsneffect If you feel that confident we can go live on social media.”

Usher took the trashtalk lightly-heartedly and gamely fired back at Mayweather:
“You bum. Ha! You know who the real champ of Vegas is at them cards. My nephew did you bad in your own house at basketball. You know we here for all the smoke. Skating ain’t a question. Ping Pong, I’m on the way.”
Terrence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson also chimed in and ragged the boxing Hall-of-Famer. Crawford tagged Stevenson in his comment and said:
"@shakurstevenson I think we gonna have to show @floydmayweather how to really play this game called table tennis.”
Stevenson replied and wrote:
“@tbudcrawford For sure he ducked me last time.”
