Floyd Mayweather is facing backlash for turning up at a club in Arizona and not following social distancing orders. After the video of the boxer went viral, Scottsdale mayor, Jim Lane, issued an official statement on the importance of maintaining social distancing during the pandemic.

Now, the statement wasn’t directed at Mayweather specifically, it was given to TMZ as a response for a request for comment about Mayweather.
“The images from Old Town Scottsdale this weekend are disturbing, and frankly show a real lack of common sense and civic responsibility,” Lane told TMZ. “Businesses and their patrons need to realize that individually we each play an absolute part in our own personal hygiene, distancing and health courtesies, and each of us also plays a significant part in our city’s health, both physically and economically. This disease is spread between people—and personal actions determine whether public health guidance is effective in blunting the spread of COVID-19.”
