The Chief Executive Officer of Berkshire Hathaway most of his weekend in Las Vegas to witness the rematch between Argentine slugger Marcos Maidana and Floyd Mayweather Jr. The two money makers exchanged compliments in a television interview springing an unlikely friendship.

When asked to compare the intensity of training in boxing against taking care of his fortune running billions, Buffett said "This guy has a tough job, I got an easy one". He was also quick to express his excitement for the awaited rematch.

The flamboyant boxer described Buffet as a role model together with Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Mark Cuban who owns the Dallas Maverics team in the National Basketball Association. He stated that he looked up to them as he started on humble beginnings and growing up experiencing tough times in a difficult neighborhood in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Buffett paid the Boxing superstar a visit in his own Boxing Club in Las Vegas where Mayweather also posted a series of photographs on Twitter together with his "Money Team"and Buffet joining them. He also posted on Instagram a picture with Buffet dressed in boxing attire poised for what seemed like a "pretend fight" sending a greeting to Dan Primack.

Seems like the Business Tycoon may have been a lucky man after all as the 37-year old won the fight in his re-match against Maidana thus improving his already impressive win-loss record to 47-0. The win proved to be a statement for the champion as he put on a convincing show of effective defense outpointing his Argentinian adversary.
