Music has the amazing ability to bring us together. Just ask Isaiah Thomas and Floyd Mayweather about the wonders of music.
They first became great friends while attending a Robin Thicke concert together.
From Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald:
Their friendship started five years ago, after Thomas attended a Mayweather workout in Las Vegas. Mayweather, a devoted basketball fan, immediately spotted Thomas in the crowd, arranged a meeting through a mutual friend, and took his new friend to a show.
All in the same day.
“We went to a Robin Thicke concert later that night, and since then, we’ve talked almost every day,” Thomas said of a friendship that has redefined the meaning of gift-giving.
That concert started a friendship that is now so strong that Mayweather bought Thomas a 2015 Bentley for his birthday. This wasn't a trival gift as the car is listed at $200,500.
But perhaps the most interesting fact about the start of their friendship is that they went to a Robin Thicke concert in 2009 or 2010. This was before he blew up with "Blurred Lines" so that means they were treated to music from Thicke's Sex Therapy: The Experience album.
So just picture in your head Thomas and Mayweather becoming friends while this played in the background:
What an amazing friendship.
