Floyd Mayweather helped out a family dance group struggling financially by literally giving them the money out of own his pocket. According toTMZ Sports, Mayweather flew out the Chicago breakdancing crew, who call themselves "The Finest Family," to Las Vegas, Nevada, pulled out $10,000 in cash, and told them, "Whatever you need, let me know."
Mayweather was reportedly first introduced to the group four years ago, and at the time, he wanted to be their "mentor for life." Since then, the six siblings and their father Henry have dealt with some career highs, not the least of which includes performing on the Steve Harvey Show a couple years ago.
However, they've also faced difficulties making ends meet. Henry admits that they spent six months living out of their van. Earlier this month, the family was washing cars to earn some money, and that's when Floyd came calling.
"He's been a blessing," Henry told TMZ Sports of Mayweather. "He's amazing." Recently, The Finest Family got an audition for America's Got Talent, and Henry says everything is "going well." Judging from their brief appearance on the Steve Harvey Show, it's clear that these kids got skills. With any luck, they'll go far in the competition.
It's great to see that when Floyd isn't dropping $10 million on a ring and necklace or spending $3.5 million on the 2017 Bugatti Chiron, a car that hasn't even come out yet, he can also put his money towards a good cause.
