Former American professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather, splashed a sum of £238 (KSh 31,000) on each chef he came across at a Las Vegas restaurant.

The Money Man as he is fondly referred to treated himself to a sumptuous meal at Catch eatery in company of 16 friends to celebrate a birthday recently.

Having appeared to have enjoyed his meal at the restaurant, the 42-year-old decided to find his way to the kitchen and show appreciation to the cooks by handing them close $300 each.

An insider told Page Six : "He personally thanked everyone. The cooks were ecstatic and thankful!"

Catch describes itself on its website as: "The go-to dining destination for celebrities from Los Angeles to New York City, Catch is the only location to bring epic renditions of Asian-influenced sushi, seafood and steak to The Strip."

A 2.5lb Cantonese lobster at the restaurant will set a patron back approximately KSh 13,000 (£91), or if you prefer a steak, there are American Wagyu Tomahawk steaks available for approximately KSh 20,000 (£153).

In other news, Mayweather seems to have abandoned plans to take part in an exhibition fight in China in order to negotiate a rematch with Manny Pacquiao.

Hong Kong's DEF Promotions director Jay Lau told The Sun: "Mayweather came two times to Hong Kong, he spoke with my son Jayson and we had communications but now he is focusing [on] the Pacquiao rematch. We were talking about an exhibition in China, a big event but not a recorded professional boxing fight. Something like Mayweather vs Tenshin in Japan.

Lau went on to reveal a special fight in China had been organised but the Money Man turned it down to focus on the Pacquiao rematch.

Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has also shown his generous side in the recent past as he recently rewarded a member of hotel staff for his hard work during his stay with a tip of KSh 2.8 million (25,000 Euros).

The 34-year-old was enjoying the summer holiday with his family at Costa Navarino in Greece for the second year running.

According to Spanish news media outlet El Español, the Juventus striker tipped the staff the whopping amount for their service during his stay.
