Floyd Mayweather defended President Trump’s infamous comments about women from a leaked 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape.
Mayweather told Hollywood Unlocked in an interview that Trump spoke “like a real man” when he was heard telling former "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush that when it came to women he could “grab them by the p---y.” The tape was leaked during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

“People don’t like the truth,” Mayweather said. “He [spoke] like a real man spoke.”
"Real men speak like, 'Man, she had a fat a--. You see her a--? I had to squeeze her a--. I had to grab that fat a--.' Right? So he talking locker room talk."
"'I’m the man,' you know what I’m saying? You know who I am. Yeah, I grabbed her by the p---y. And?" Mayweather said.
The "Access Hollywood" tape sparked criticism from a number of politicians including Hillary Clinton, who tweeted after it was leaked: “This is horrific. We cannot allow this man to become president.”
Bush resigned from his job on the “Today” show in October following the tape’s release.
