“There were eight guys around me, all grabbing me [and] some hitting me in the leg. I’m holding onto his hat for dear life. That was the main thing that they were concerned about.”

By the time they finally managed to get the hat, Floyd was furious. “He just comes running at me, and he’s throwing punches over the security guard, and I’m literally just like, ‘oh wow, this is crazy.’”
