Floyd Mayweather recently opened up about the pain he felt after losing the one person in the world who knew all of his secrets. It’s been less than a year since Mayweather said goodbye to his assistant, Marikit ‘Kitchie’ Laurico. However, the former pound-for-pound champion’s loss has been one of the toughest he’s ever experienced outside of the ring. On that note, on ‘The Pivot’ Podcast, Mayweather burst into tears as he spoke about his relationship with Kitchie.
Subsequently, at the age of 46, he was emotional as he recalled his time with Kitchie, which was a rare sight. Furthermore, Floyd Mayweather spoke about her, stating:
Only person in life that I could talk about anything to, who knew my deepest secrets. There was no male or female in my life that I told more stuff than her. We argue, we debate, we help each other. That's a sister I never had. A best friend I ever had.Floyd Mayweather via The Pivot
Mayweather revealed that drivers and assistants can sometimes become the closest people in your life. As such, Mayweather stated that Kitchie was someone with whom Mayweather could share anything, and she was more of a sister or a best friend for him.
In addition, Mayweather revealed that Kitchie wanted to attend the Super Bowl, which happened in Las Vegas, for her 50th birthday. However, sadly, she passed away before being able to do this, and Mayweather instead bought a Super Bowl suite worth $1 million.
