Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr has always been an avid fan of basketball. While the former five-division champion himself would have a hard time playing the sport, he certainly enjoys making appearances at NBA games and showing off his over-the-top fashion sense. Moreover, he even gave some homeless children tickets to a game during the holiday season last year. Therefore, it was no surprise when Mayweather made an appearance to see 4-time NBA champion LeBron James break the all-time scoring record.

Moreover, ‘The Chosen One’ didn’t fail to cater to ‘Money’s’ expectations as he did indeed break the record. James is now the all-time top scorer in the NBA breaking Karim Abdul Jabar’s previous record. In addition, Mayweather was also accompanied by grammy winning artist Usher who was also present outside along with many other celebrities.
