Floyd Mayweather Jr.: Is it Home Alone on Christmas?

In the first slide of the Instagram story, he mentioned, “At home watching The Color Purple.” Over the next few slides, musical clips of the award-winning 1985 Steven Spielberg-directed movie appeared. Then, in the last slide, presumably, the boxing legend’s feet appear with him relaxing in front of the fireside.

Jeff Mayweather, Mayweather Jr.’s uncle, was speaking with the Daily Star Sport. He gave some insights into how the undefeated former champion usually celebrated the festival. He said, “Floyd had everything catered. It was always a lot of people at his house. It was like his circle of people. Some of them that are still a part of his circle now were a part of his circle many, many years ago as well. So he surrounded himself with the people that he knew. You know, some family were there from time to time. It was a great time.

Then he added how most of his team members, including the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, would be present. “There would also be friends he made since he came to Las Vegas and some friends that he brought here from Michigan that are still a part of the circle now,” Jeff Mayweather said. However, the former world champion revealed that he had been to only one of his nephew’s Christmas celebrations.

For sure, the clips Mayweather Jr. shared might have shocked a lot of fans. Not long ago, he had reportedly hired a shopping center just so he could do his shopping quietly without any fanfare!
