‘I’m all about giving back’ – Floyd Mayweather hands out $100 bills to kids outside of LA Lakers game

FLOYD MAYWEATHER stunned local kids when he handed them a number of $100 bills outside last night’s Los Angeles Lakers game.

The boxing legend, 44, was in attendance as the Lakers took on the reigning champion Milwaukee Bucks at the Crypto.com Arena.

Even before he’d entered the building, he’d made a few kids’ night.

In footage obtained by TMZ, the American spotted the entrepreneurial youngsters selling sweets to fans on their way to the game.

Mayweather, worth an estimated £330million last year, admired their spirit and decided to give them a lucrative reward.

The 50-0 king filmed the act, and said: “I’m all about giving back to the kids.”

It appeared that Mayweather handed over $400 or $500 without a moment’s hesitation.

He then added: “The kids out here selling candy, they ain’t doing nothing wrong.”

And he pledged to hand money over again ‘every time’ he attends games in future.

Having taken on Logan Paul last year, Mayweather is set to take part in another lucrative exhibition against YouTuber Money Kicks later this year.

The bout had been set to take place in Dubai on February 20, but has reportedly been called OFF – with a new date yet to be announced.

He still appears to be looking after himself, however, especially as he didn’t actually take any of the kids’ sweets that he’d paid for quite a few times over outside last night’s game.

If he was looking forward to a home win he’ll have been disappointed, as the Lakers were blitzed by the Bucks 131-116.

The visitors were inspired by two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo , with the Greek Freak registering 44 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists in a dominant display.
