A great Mexican champion. I take my hat off to him and to Mexico. He can take a loss and bounce back. Seventeen years, and I’m still going strong. I think had I pressed the attack earlier, I could have gotten the stoppage, but I am very happy with my performance.” Before the fight…….  photo justb1.png  photo jbust7.png  photo FloydMayweatherJrvCaneloAlvarezIBevxVqY1Zcl.jpg  photo FloydMayweatherJrvCaneloAlvareztLdoFCs7YsRl.jpg Floyd was escorted to the ring by Lil’ Wayne and Justin Bieber.  photo jbust3.png Lil’ Kim was among the celebs who came out to support Floyd Mayweather.  Once upon a time, there were rumors that the two were a couple.  photo justb2.png “I Dream Of Nene” star Laura Govan watched the match with her brother Lonnie Govan.  photo FloydMayweatherJrvCaneloAlvarezvAdR0lw31l4l.jpg Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington sat ringside.  photo SeanCombsVIPPreFightPartyShowtimePPVouQ6BnCJMTjl.jpg Diddy (seated next to Rick Ross) shook the hands of a few lucky fans.  photo VIPPreFightPartyShowtimePPVPresentationcLgddwPc021l.jpg Busta Rhymes was spotted.  photo LLCoolJVIPPreFightPartyShowtimePPVUrTcP4Ti4Etl.jpg     Photos via melissiarene Instagram/jblazeofficial Instagram/djkhaled Instagram/ IAmDIddy Instagram/Wire/Getty culled from theybf.com
