Floyd Mayweather Jr. lobbied for Antonio Brown's return to the NFL when the two interacted on Instagram Live.

"They need to let you play in the NFL, man," Mayweather said (h/t TMZ Sports). "They need to stop worrying about what you do on the outside. You can get arrested 40 times, 50 times. Do that got something to do with you catching the ball or what you doing on the field?"

The New England Patriots released Brown in September, a move that came after he was accused of sexual assault by one woman and sexual misconduct by another.
