Boxing coach Angelo Reyes, who has known Mayweather for years, revealed on the Fight Society podcast that the stunt was an ode to the 1995 bank robbery movie Dead Presidents. He added more information to what had already been said to Fight Hype regarding Money's headgear.

To us in the boxing culture, we were kind of laughing about it because it’s Floyd Mayweather’s ode to the movie 'Dead Presidents,' Where he put the ski mask on because it’s a bank robbery. Basically, he was saying it was a heist. Like Conor actually believed he could beat Floyd Mayweather and all that happened was he got fooled into the biggest pay-per-view, the biggest payday opportunity of all time."

“That’s why he put on the ski mask, which I thought was pretty awesome.”

Genius indeed. If you betted on Mayweather by stoppage (I did) you basically robbed the sportsbooks as well since it was almost even money.

I was wondering wtf was going on when I saw Floyd come out myself, but I like the reasoning + its funny.

Floyd looked like EL CHACAL from sabado gigante...but in reality he wore that ski mask to tell all the dumb fcuks that paid for the ppv
And everyone that bought an overpriced ticket to the tmobile arena that he was robbing them of their money
