Floyd Mayweather sometimes courts criticism from the boxing community for being too flashy. He often gets demonized for putting his extravagant lifestyle on display on social media. But, simultaneously, he also gets a lot of praise for being a family man through and through. What the fans find particularly endearing is Mayweather’s relationship with his grandson Kentrell Gaulden Jr. Born to Floyd Mayweather’s daughter Iyanna Mayweather and rapper NBA Youngboy (real name – Kentrell DeSean Gaulden) in 2021, ‘TBE’ showers his grandson with loads of love and affection, which is evident from his numerous social media posts involving the two.

Kentrell frequently features on Floyd Mayweather’s posts, whether it be accompanying the 50-0 boxer to his gym, or going on a shopping spree with one of the world’s richest athletes. In a prior Instagram post, Mayweather did not shy away from displaying his affection towards his grandson.

He explained, “Most times I say if I could do it all over, I would change things, but now that I have my grandson, I wouldn’t change a thing because I wouldn’t have him in my life.” In January this year, Kentrell celebrated his third birthday and was pictured standing atop Mayweather’s $330,500 yellow McLaren 720S Spider. “Happy Birthday to my grandson @kjmeezymayweather I Love You!” wrote Mayweather.

Similarly, Floyd Mayweather shared yet another heartwarming moment with his grandson on his Instagram story, as they were spotted playing basketball at a gaming arcade store. The retired boxing legend seemed to be enjoying time away from his busy schedule after the conclusion of his exhibition fight against John Gotti 3 in August last month. The cute little child stood atop the gaming machine, throwing basketballs into the hoop, and scoring in almost all his attempts. He seems like quite the natural athlete! Meanwhile, Mayweather was also enjoying himself shooting hoops. Quite clearly, it was a great bonding moment for the duo and both seemed to enjoy each other’s company. The Instagram clip was later shared by Fight Hub TV as well.

Soon after, fans heaped praise on Mayweather for spending quality time with his grandson. So, without further ado, let’s explore some of the reactions to Mayweather making sure that his grandson has the time of his life with him.

Greatest Boxer to Greatest Grandpa!

One fan highlighted that Floyd Mayweather spends more time with Kentrell Gaulden than the child’s father, commenting, “Floyd been more of a dad to him than NFL young thug,” taking a dig at the rapper. NBA YoungBoy is currently married to Jazlyn Mychelle, with whom he has two children. Therefore, it just might be that he has a lot on his plate, and he can’t devote that much time to Kentrell Jr.

Another fan pointed out that the retired boxer is enjoying time with his family, and doesn’t seem to understand the hate he gets. They remarked, “He’s a real one enjoying life with his family. Only a loser will hate on a man spending time with his family.” Being retired from professional boxing, Mayweather can now devote more time to his family. Amidst familial responsibilities, Floyd also finds time to indulge in a few exhibition fights, so that he isn’t detached from the sport that he loves.

Meanwhile, yet another user was delighted by the fact that Floyd Mayweather was getting to spend more time with his family after his retirement, especially with his grandson. They wrote, “It really is nice seeing Floyd enjoying retirement spending so much time with his grandson.” After having such an illustrious boxing career, built via hard work and dedication, it is high time that he enjoys the fruits of his labor with his family.

One fan, after witnessing Floyd enjoying his time with his grandson at the arcade store, commented, “From Greatest BOXER of All Time to greatest GRANDPA of All Time.” Mayweather loves to spoil Kentrell Jr, and that surely won’t end anytime soon.

A user commented that Floyd Mayweather was on the road to becoming a basketball player till he found his true calling in boxing. They stated, “He’s real good at ball, he was gonna be in the NBA but he switched to boxing in the early 90’s because he found out he had a hidden talent. IYKYK.” Interestingly, in one of his media interviews, Mayweather, who loves to watch basketball, said, “I’m a well-rounded athlete so I think I could have been a top college basketball player. I’m skillful enough and talented enough. So if somebody had taught me all the fundamentals of basketball, I guess I could have played in the NBA.”

One thing is for sure Mayweather fans will be treated to more heartfelt and endearing moments of the grandfather-grandson duo in the near future. What do you think of the wholesome moments Floyd Mayweather shared on social media with his grandson? Let us know in the comment section below.
