WATCH: Floyd Mayweather booed at Warriors-Grizzlies game
Floyd Mayweather may have won his fight with Manny Pacquiao earlier this month to seal his legacy as the greatest fighter of his generation, but the unbeaten American has a long way to go before winning people's hearts.
Mayweather was in attendance for the Game Five of the Western Conference semifinals between the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies at Oracle Arena, and was shown on the video screen.
