Jamie Foxx Defends His 'Star-Spangled Banner' Performance From Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight

Jamie Foxx: Floyd Mayweather

"First of all, everybody calm down," he said. "We had a little bit of a situation with our ear pieces. The [ear] pack actually dropped off, so I couldn't, you know... I can't hear what's playing, so I just had to go on my own. Hopefully they understand. It's just the national anthem."

"I think a little bit was just people wanted to have something to talk about," he added. "But everything's cool and the national anthem will be on my album and I'm gonna do whatever the hell I want to."

Foxx didn't catch the brunt of the criticism that night, though. A majority of fans who watched and attended the fight were not happy with the action, or lack thereof.

"So much clenching in that fight," Seth Meyers joked Monday on Late Night. "If those guys would've been hugged that much as children they wouldn't have grown up to be boxers."
