Floyd Mayweather Mourns the loss of more than just an assistant

Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather recently opened up about the profound grief he still feels after losing his personal assistant, Marikit Laurico, last year. Laurico wasn’t just an employee; she was his confidante, his “sister I never had,” as he described her.

Mayweather, known for his stoic demeanor, broke down on the The pivot podcast, calling Laurico the “most compassionate and selfless woman” he knew. He confided that she was the only person he could share his deepest secrets with, someone who had his back “through rain, sleet, snow, or hail.”

Their bond went beyond professional duties. Laurico, he said, simply wanted to see him be the best man he could be. She was a positive influence on him and his children, a true friend who offered support and honest advice. He described, “That’s a sister I never had. A best friend I ever had.”
