With an estimated $300 million in earnings over the past 12 months, Boxers Floyd Mayweather more than lived up to his nickname 'Money'.

He is the undisputed king of international sports and Mayweather has often bragged about his unimaginable riches.

But the ever jabbering famed and feared boxer had to keep his mouth shut - quite literally - when R&B star Rihanna taped his mouth.

Rihanna was quite the femme fatale during the 2015 BET Awards on Sunday night.

For some reason, the 27-year-old singer was carrying around duct tape and at one point decided to tape Floyd Mayweather's mouth shut.

Mayweather and Rihanna sat together for The Black Entertainment Television Awards 2015 on Sunday night.

During the course of the ceremony, the singer was photographed taping Mayweather's mouth shut with a duct tape - much to the amusement of fellow audience members.

Spectators watching the ceremony online and on television also found it extremely humorous and took to Twitter to 'thank' Rihanna for taking a bold step.

While her run-in with the boxer seemed to be all in good fun, Rihanna also got into a bit of a battle with BET’s President of Programming, Stephen Hill.

When cameras cut to what was going on backstage at the BET Awards, Rihanna was seen chucking money at Hill's face.

This also seemed to be staged as the two were later spotted hugging.

After the show ended, Rihanna posted photos of Hill to Instagram, and Hill joked that they 'kissed and made up.'

BET also told Billboard the whole bit was staged.
