When contacted by TMZ for comment on Tuesday, Mayweather's attorney flatly refuted any homophobic charges.
According to the representative, the ex-boxer was merely in a rush to get out of the NBA game.
However, eyewitnesses informed the magazine that around the same time, Mayweather was joyfully posing for selfies with other supporters.
In 2017, Mayweather made news for uttering a homophobic slur.
