Mayweather bought him a car for his birthday, so you could say they are really good friends. They have a good origin story as well.
Speaking with the Boston Herald, Thomas says he and Mayweather have been friends for five years. The point guard said he attended Money May’s workout in Las Vegas and that the undefeated boxer picked him out from the crowd, talked to him and took him to a concert that same night.
“We went to a Robin Thicke concert later that night, and since then, we’ve talked almost every day,” Thomas said of the origins of their friendship.
Maybe Thomas will walk Mayweather into the ring on May 2nd. Then again that spot maybe reserved for Justin Bieber…
