Boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr. is known for his love for cars. His garage is full of opulent automobiles, and now he has added one more to that. However, it is not for himself, he has gifted it to his mother. Interestingly, many fans might not know that the Mayweather family has a tradition for the 4th of July. The family has been carrying out a practice of giving gifts on American Independence Day.
The former boxing champion bought a car for his mother keeping the holiday in mind. The 47-year-old shared a video of the car on an Instagram story, revealing that even though his mother does not know how to drive a car, she would definitely enjoy a ride in it.
He was also heard saying in the video: “This all about taking care of family. Just got my mom a new Mercedes, come check it out. You know black everything because we killing in the game, come check it out. It’s good for her. Ball seats, you know like an NBA ball. Mom I love you, got you another gift.”
Despite more than a dozen cars parked in his garage, he never stops adding more wheels in his garage. He retired from professional boxing in 2017 when he extended his record to 50-0 after defeating UFC superstar Conor McGregor. Billed as ‘The Money Fight’, it was one of the most lucrative fights in the history of the sport.
Although ‘Money’ has retired from professional boxing, he is often seen inside the ring for exhibition fights. Mayweather might not be an active name in the current boxing scene, but he makes sure to make headlines with his life outside the ring. Apart from the car he gifted his mother, there are a few more cars that he recently added to his garage.
The car shopping spree continues
The former five-division champion is arguably the most lucrative fighter in boxing history. Despite being retired, he still lives a king-size life. Even though he no longer receives the large paychecks he once did for his fights, he has amassed millions of dollars through astute investment choices. His recent upgrades to his car collection serve as evidence.
