In a wholesome scene that transcends the intensity of the boxing ring, Floyd Mayweather recently visited a place where people least expected him to show up—a roller skating rink. However, it was a family affair he was attending to. Set against the backdrop of Mayweather’s latest venture, a $4.5 million investment in the Crystal Palace Skating Rink, Mayweather took his family on a memorable night out on the town.

The 25,900 square feet expanse of Crystal Palace Skating Rink, rechristened as Skate Rock City, is not just a property for Mayweather. In his latest outing, “Money” took his daughters, Iyanna and Jirah, and his grandson, Kentrell Gaulden Jr. on a tour of his newest acquisition. Judging from the few videos posted online, it looks like a good bit of fun.

In a video posted on his Instagram, Floyd Mayweather can be seen standing on the sidelines of the skating rink with a Gucci duffle bag, dancing to Drake’s For Free, while watching his daughter and grandson skate away on the ice. The happiness on his face was palpable. Mayweather captioned the post, “Family night with my daughters and grandson ice skating!” Casting aside the stoicism associated with his boxing persona, he may not have hit the rink, but he sure did bust a move or two and enjoyed the simple pleasures of a family man.

In another video from the same place, he can also be seen enjoying hot cocoa and fire-roasted marshmallows with his grandson. Mayweather secured the Crystal Palace Skating Rink, nestled at 4680 Boulder Highway, in 2021. 

The glitzy unveiling of Skate Rock City marked a significant milestone for Mayweather, who has long harbored a keen interest in acquiring a roller rink. Hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, the boxing maestro orchestrated the purchase through a limited liability company named Michigan Skating, showcasing his strategic business acumen. Floyd Mayweather’s influence in the real estate market has expanded tenfold in recent times.

Money’s many diverse ventures

A while ago, he joined forces with former MLB star Alex Rodriguez to invest in CGI Merchant Group’s $650 million Hospitality Opportunity Fund. The consortium’s ambitious plans include a $375 million investment in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.
