Mayweather Jr. in Casino Standoff with Rap Star
Floyd Mayweather Jr. was ready to rumble with a famous nemesis in Vegas this weekend -- but just before a fight broke out, Diddy saved the day.
It all went down at the grand opening of Vanity nightclub in the Hard Rock Hotel -- which was hosted by Diddy. We're told Floyd Mayweather Jr. rolled over to the party to see Diddy, when he literally ran into rapper Rick Ross.
Sources tell TMZ one of the men "bumped" into the other man and their entourages immediately became "confrontational."
But as things started to heat up, we're told Diddy swooped in between the guys and calmed everyone down.
We called Mayweather's camp for comment and his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., told us there's been beef between Floyd and Ross for a while because Ross has allegedly been, "talking s**t."
We're told both Mayweather Jr. and Ross eventually went back in the club and partied the rest of the night away without incident.
Calls to Rick Ross were not returned. No comment from Camp Diddy.

But Sunday, she let it all hang out -- literally -- donning a breastacular Mrs. Claus costume for "The Annual Vegas Socialite Christmas Party."
Wonder what she's getting in her stocking this year?

Vegas Mayor Rips 'Fat and Short Bette Midler'
One sign Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman might be a bad auctioneer: He turned down the highest bidder ... and then called her a "fat and short Bette Midler."
The Mayor let the unbelievable diss loose at a recent auction in Sin City, after a woman he repeatedly said looked like the Divine, red-haired, Vegas performer entered a bid of $2,750 for the item on the auction block.
In the video -- shot from a distance -- Goodman says he won't accept her money because "she's fat and she's short."
The other auctioneer quickly tried to steer the auction back on track ... but the damage had been done.
