US boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr visits Glasgow for first time - and his parking spot is nicked

The Scottish Sun reports that Mayweather was visiting Scotland for the first time to appear at a question and answer session at the city's Crowne Plaza Hotel which was organised by boxing promoters MGM Scotland. 

But a spot reserved at the hotel for the boxer and his entourage kept being used by guests attending the event. 

A source told The Scottish Sun said: “The organisers were trying their best to get the area cleared, running around asking folk inside if they’d parked there.

“Every time they thought they had sorted it, someone else moved into the space.”
