Floyd Mayweather has a new member of The Money Team — Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov … an alleged violent warlord who unapologetically hates gay people.
Floyd met up with Kadyrov during a recent trip to Chechnya — buddying up with Kadyrov and urging his fans to follow Ramzan on Instagram.
But here’s the problem … Kadyrov has a very controversial past — littered with accusations of human rights violations from kidnapping to torture and murder. He’s denied all wrongdoing.
But what’s undeniable … Kadyrov says he doesn’t want gay people in his country and has said on the record he’d ship them all to Canada if he could.
The U.S. State Dept. issued a warning in April 2017 saying it was « increasingly concerned » about the anti-LGBT movement in Chechnya — after « numerous credible reports » indicating gay people were being detained, tortured and even killed based on their sexual orientation.
But Kadyrov’s a huge sports fan — LOVES combat sports — and Floyd seems to see past the other stuff.
