Floyd Mayweather adopts panda, names it after himself

Floyd Mayweather took a trip to China, and he ended up with a pet panda — sort of.

While in China, Mayweather paid nearly $15,000 as an adoption fee to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. The fee gave Mayweather naming rights to a 1-year-old panda for a year. And guess what Mayweather named the panda for now? TMT Floyd Mayweather.

The panda was previously named “Maodou.”

Mayweather shared some photos on Instagram from his trip to China. In one post, he said he was paid $3 million for the trip.

Here in Beijing, China at “The Great Wall Of China”, considered to be one of the greatest Wonders of The World! It’s always been on my list of places to see throughout my travels in life however, timing is everything. Coming here with 23 people has been a great experience and it doesn’t hurt to get paid $3,000,000. to simply visit and vacation here in luxury for a few days. With money this long, everything is different. I move different, I dress different and I live different because my money is extremely different! i want to thank my cousin @dejuanblake and his @affiliationmanagement company for putting this all together.
