Justin Bieber Is Not Fond Of Being Called Floyd Mayweather’s Sidekick

“By the powers of our stupid hats combined!”

Justin Bieber made a surprise appearance at Wednesday’s big Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao press conference in Los Angeles, getting up on stage at the end to take pictures alongside friend and sometimes-trainer Floyd. But don’t take that to mean the Biebs is Robin to Mayweather’s Batman. The pop star didn’t seem too impressed with TMZ’s attempt to label him a ‘sidekick’:

Paparazzi alpha-dog mind games aside, what’s all that terrible with being Floyd Mayweather’s sidekick, by label or technicality? The guy is the greatest boxer in the world. And Justin Bieber is the new king of pop, as unfortunate as that may be for most of us to admit it. That seems to me like some equal partnership biz. Some tag team championship level awesomesauce. Own that bromance! Maybe not on a Seth Rogan / James Franco level, but you get the idea.

Maybe Justin refuses to accept the mantle as Floyd’s sidekick because that would hurt Anderson Silva’s feelings. Justin Bieber is just as cushy with the mixed martial arts GOAT as he is with Mayweather. We may be laughing now, but when someone needs to assemble an Avengers style team of fighters to save the world from Zorgon the Wet and his alien invaders, we’ll be glad Justin Beiber has the sidekick connections to bring the best all together.

In that way, maybe we should be considering him as more of a Nick Fury:
