David Beckham, Sons Romeo and Cruz Meet Floyd Mayweather at LA Lakers Game

There were some famous faces from the sporting world in attendance as the Los Angeles Lakers fell to the Boston Celtics on Sunday.

Retired football superstar David Beckham, along with his sons Romeo and Cruz and Los Angeles Galaxy stars Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane, took in the NBA action from the front row as Kobe Bryant's 16-60 Lakers went down 107-100 at the Staples Center.

And the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and England midfielder couldn't hide his excitement when he spied 39-year-old boxer Floyd Mayweather in the crowd too.

Beckham and Mayweather posed for a photo before the Englishman took to Instagram to share a photo of his boys alongside "the champ."

Mayweather retired with a 49-0 record, while Beckham finished his playing career after a stint with Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain in 2013.
