    Even before he’d entered the building, he’d made a few kids’ night.
    In footage obtained by TMZ, the American spotted the entrepreneurial youngsters selling sweets to fans on their way to the game.
    Mayweather, worth an estimated £330million last year, admired their spirit and decided to give them a lucrative reward.
    The 50-0 king filmed the act, and said: “I’m all about giving back to the kids.”
    It appeared that Mayweather handed over $400 or $500 without a moment’s hesitation.
    He then added: “The kids out here selling candy, they ain’t doing nothing wrong.”

    And he pledged to hand money over again ‘every time’ he attends games in future.
    Having taken on Logan Paul last year, Mayweather is set to take part in another lucrative exhibition against YouTuber Money Kicks later this year.
    The bout had been set to take place in Dubai on February 20, but has reportedly been called OFF – with a new date yet to be announced.
    He still appears to be looking after himself, however, especially as he didn’t actually take any of the kids’ sweets that he’d paid for quite a few times over outside last night’s game.
    If he was looking forward to a home win he’ll have been disappointed, as the Lakers were blitzed by the Bucks 131-116.
    The visitors were inspired by two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo , with the Greek Freak registering 44 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists in a dominant display.

    American star Paul stole the official stat sheet before turning it into a paper airplane
    Paul extended his perfect record to 5-0 inside the squared circle as he floored the former UFC welterweight champion in the sixth round.
    And the YouTuber-turned-boxer has remained in the Magic City as he attended the NBA clash between Miami and Detroit at the FTX Arena, which the hosts won 115-112.
    The former Disney actor lived up to his Problem Child moniker by pulling pranks during the match, resulting in security having a word with him.
    Not only did he tell his partner Rose that every quarter of a basketball match was an ‘inning’, he also stole the official stat sheet for the first half.
    Sharing the footage on his Instagram story, Paul can be seen with the piece of paper in his hand, before turning it into a paper airplane.
    A security guard then walked over to the Ohio native to warn him not to throw it onto the court.

    Ex-NBA star Deron Williams beats NFL legend Frank Gore in wild boxing exhibition on Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley undercard

    DERON WILLIAMS beat NFL legend Frank Gore in a wild and reckless boxing exhibition on Jake Paul’s undercard. The ex-NBA star got the points verdict after four painfully scrappy rounds in Florida.

    At one point, in round two, Williams landed a right hand and then pushed Gore into the ropes and almost out of the ring.
    But Gore got his own back and shoved the basketballer to the floor just moments later.
    Williams scored the only knockdown, with a standing count, in round three after the ropes kept Gore up.
    Both men swung haymakers right until the end and looked absolutely knackered by the end of it.
    Williams, 37, has owned the Fortis MMA gym in Dallas since 2015 and has been training there ever since.

    But both found out it is completely different story under the lights doing it for real.
    Thankfully, despite winning Williams admitted his boxing foray will be over before it really got started.
    He said: “I’m going to sit my old, dumbass down somewhere and let these professionals do their s***.
    “Honestly, I probably looked terrible out there. I feel like my last five sparring sessions were on point.
    “My head wasn’t coming up, soon as you get out here and start getting touched it’s all different, all your training goes out of the window.
    “It was fun, I’m glad I got the chance to get out here and do it but like I thought coming into this, I’m one and done.”

    Cristiano Ronaldo vs Michael Jordan net worth, properties & endorsements as Man Utd star likened to Chicago Bulls icon

    CRISTIANO RONALDO was compared to basketball great Michael Jordan by his manager last night.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer heaped praise on the Manchester United striker after his late equaliser rescued them at Atalanta.

    And the 36-year-old striker was hailed by his boss for another slam dunk in injury time.
    Solskjaer declared: “You play for Manchester United or the Chicago Bulls because you can come up with these moments.
    “I’m sure the Chicago Bulls didn’t mind having Michael Jordan. And that’s what Cristiano is like for us.”
    That got us thinking here at SunSport, how do the two match up against each other?
    Basketball legend Jordan, 58, retired in 2003 after a stellar 19-year career which made him one of the greatest US sportsmen ever.
    He won six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls and was five times named the Most Valuable Player in the league.
    And the 14-time All-Star also led USA to Olympic gold at Los Angeles 1984 and Barcelona 1992.
    He is widely credited with making the NBA a commercial success and changing the image of the sport.

    Jordan is now an owner of his home town Charlotte Hornets NBA team.
    According to Forbes, he has banked an incredible £1.32billion from sponsorships with the likes of Nike, Hanes and Gatorade.
    His link-up with Nike, in particular the Air Jordan trainer that bears his name, he pocketed him around £1billion since 1984.
    The former Chicago Bulls star’s profile has been boosted again thanks to Netflix’s 10-episode show The Last Dance.
    All that means his income last year of £95m was still higher than Ronaldo.

    The Portuguese superstar, meanwhile, has an estimated net worth of £367m after banking £91m in earnings last year.
    One area he does have an edge over Jordan is in social media following with a massive 362 million fans compared to 22 million.
    Ronaldo has won seven domestic league titles with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
    He’s captured five Champions League titles – one at Old Trafford and four in the Spanish capital – and is a five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
    HOME COMFORTS
    Both superstars aren’t short of a property or two on their portfolio, either.
    He currently lives in a £3million Cheshire mansion having been at similar luxury properties in Madrid and Turin.
    In 2019, Ronaldo reportedly spent £1.4million on a holiday home in the Costa del Sol.
    The area the lavish house sits in is called ‘The Superstars Cul-De-Sac’ because of the number of famous residents who live there.
    UFC star Conor McGregor is also believed to own a property nearby.
    But back on his home island of Madeira, his £7m seven-storey mansion in Funchal has two swimming pools, a football pitch and incredible sea views.
    Jordan, meanwhile, can’t seem to shift his property.
    He has been trying to sell his £12m mansion in Chicago for eight years now but still can’t find a buyer.
    He also has a £6m mansion in Utah on the market.
    They’ll both always have a roof over their head, it’s fair to say.

    He won his three return fights, the last of which in 2008, before hanging up the gloves again but did lose in his kickboxing debut in 2013.
    Odom, who retired from basketball in 2014, recently won a scrappy exhibition against pop singer Aaron Carter, 33.
    It was under the Celebrity Boxing banner headed up by Damon Feldman, the brother of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship owner David.
    And Feldman told TMZ Sport that he has signed up Odom, 41, and Bowe, 53, to fight on October 2 in Miami, Florida.
    On the undercard, Also, Paulie Malignaggi will face social star Corey B, after months of the pair feuding online.
    Malignaggi, who provided commentary for Odom’s weird win over Carter, had chalk thrown over him by Corey B while ringside.
    And that has somehow led to the duo fighting on the undercard of Bowe’s comeback.
    That is despite Malignaggi’s career as a former two-weight champ, while Corey B has never boxed before in his life.

    The YouTuber later beat retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 36, in the first round of their fight in April.
    It has set him up to face Askren’s former training partner Tyron Woodley, an ex-UFC champion, on August 28.
    Woodley, 39, has been training with Floyd Mayweather, 44, for the fight, which will be his boxing debut.
    But Mayweather also offered support to Robinson, 37, which Paul said only left the basketball point guard sent into a meme and printed out as a mat.
    He wrote on Instagram: “Fun fact… Floyd was calling Nate constantly leading up to our fighting giving him pointers and advice to beat me just to be turned into a kitchen mat.”
    Paul, 24, has rivalled Mayweather ever since his older brother Logan, 26, boxed the American legend in an exhibition bout in June.
    He was ringside when Logan scored a surprise moral victory as he avoided a KO defeat and took the fight the full eight-round distance.
    Paul took another swipe at Mayweather, who was pictured giving Woodley a masterclass in boxing.

    He posted: “How is Floyd Mayweather who couldn’t even get in shape or come up with a strategy enough to beat my brother gonna try and teach another old man how to come and beat me?!”
    Paul then mocked Mayweather and Woodley once more by posting an edited picture of them training outside a retirement home.
    Woodley reigned the UFC welterweight division from 2016-2018 and made four defences of the belt.
    But more recently, has has lost his last four, without a win in three years, before he departed the UFC.
    With seven KOs to his name, he will still provide Paul with his toughest test in the ring, having beaten only online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, Robinson and renowned grappler Askren.
