Floyd Mayweather, Jr. made an all-star entrance to the Las Vegas’ MGM Grand arena for his title fight against Miguel “Cotto” Cotton on Saturday (May 5). The flamboyant fighter was escorted to the ring by a few key members of his “Team Money” crew, which included teen pop star Justin Bieber, WWE wrestler Tripple H and his rapper crony, 50 Cent.

A wide-eyed Bieber carried two of Mayweather’s belts into the arena and 50 Cent carried two others. While 50 Cent is often at Mayweather’s side, and Tripple H is no stranger to fight crowds, Bieber’s presence was the crowd shocker, giving the Cotto-leaning audience a heavy dose of Mayweather’s theatrics.

While Bieber and 50 held up Mayweather’s belts, they marched to the ring to the sounds of 2 Chainz’s “Riot.” 2 Chainz, who was not in attendance but at a show in Louisville, KY, sent a tweet acknowledging the connection: “MONEY TEAM BABY!!!”

Bieber’s appearance was not previously announced but he and Mayweather exchanged tweets prior to the fight.

@justinbieber keep up the great work and thanks for the support #TheMoneyTeam. Enjoy the fight.

@FloydMayweather Hard Work & Dedication . congrats champ. glad i could be a part of it
