Alarmingly, none of the individuals in the clip could be seen wearing gloves or masks – a worrying sight given the current coronavirus pandemic.
Mayweather was dancing in his private VIP section, where he was caught on camera enjoying himself with his entourage.
Posting a video on their Instagram page of the five-weight world champion, INTL said: “@floydmayweather in the building.”
Commenting on the footage, one fan tweeted: “Floyd Mayweather in Scottsdale Arizona last night…. I guess Covid-19 over for Az.”
According to TMZ, the 1996 Olympic bronze medallist had allegedly already attended another party during the day at a nearby hotel.
The report adds the state’s death toll as a result of Covid-19 stands at 799, with the total number of coronavirus cases at 16,039.
A number of coronavirus restrictions were lifted on May 11 by Doug Ducey – the Governor of Arizona – but he insisted that bars and clubs were to remain closed.
Arizona have allowed restaurants to reopen as they are classed as ‘dine-in establishments’, along with barbershops and salons.

Boxing legend Mayweather was recently called out by former foe Manny Pacquiao
Mayweather was recently called out by former foe Manny Pacquiao after he claimed the American is jealous of the fact he is still a world champion.
After being labelled as an “old man” by Mayweather, Pacquiao told the Manila Times: “He is just envious because he’s already retired. We’re still active and have a crown.
“I’m not thinking about that (retirement) yet. I’m concerned first and foremost about our countrymen and about how to resolve this pandemic.”
