You would think that flashy boxers Floyd Mayweather and Adrien Broner would be besties, given their mutual affinity for money and their flashy fighting styles. But it's quite the opposite -- Mayweather and Broner damn-near hate each other.
After minor exchanges over the years, the feud really picked up when Broner called out one of Mayweather's fighters, Ashley Theophone, after winning his fourth title belt. (WARNING: TERRIBLE CAITLYN JENNER JOKE AHEAD)

They squashed the beef, then it was on again, before they squashed it one more time until a little over a week ago, when Mayweather criticized Broner for mocking a Wal-Mart cashier, and it was on again.
Wednesday, Broner and Theophane met with the media in anticipation of their WBA super-lightweight world title fight Friday at the DC Armory in Washington, D.C., and the young champion took the opportunity to blast Mayweather for not attending.
"I'm kind of pissed that Floyd ain't here." Broner said. "I want to say thank you to About Billions Promotions, Headbangers Promotions, Hateweather Promotions, I mean Mayweather Promotions ..."
Mayweather, who said he missed Wednesday's presser because his pilot didn't get any sleep the night before and needed to rest, heard Broner's diss and fired back later that day, calling him a "snake," among other things, while speaking to FightHype.com:
Mayweather would go on to explain his "snake" comments later in the interview.
Tell us how you really feel, Floyd. It doesn't look like this feud is going on hiatus anytime soon, and with Broner scheduled to take on one of Mayweather Promotion's top fighters, fans could be in store for a few more exchanges between these two.
