Floyd Mayweather Jr., the boxing champion who could dodge punches like nobody’s business, apparently couldn’t dodge his way out of a car dealership faux pas. Even though he’s retired from boxing (except for that whole “exhibition match” with McGregor), Floyd’s still a fixture in the fight game, reminding everyone he’s undefeated and filthy rich.
This dude’s a walking money machine – literally exceeding the billion-dollar mark in earnings. So, naturally, he surrounds himself with the finer things in life: Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, Lamborghinis – you name the brand, Floyd’s probably got the keys (or at least used to). But there’s one prestigious car company that’s thrown a left hook at Floyd’s automotive dreams: Bugatti.
See, Floyd was a big spender at Bugatti, a real VIP customer. But things went south faster than a bad right hook when Bugatti discovered Floyd flipped a black Bugatti Veyron for way more than the sticker price of a brand new one – just because he’d driven it. Apparently, reselling a car with a celebrity mark-up wasn’t part of the Bugatti VIP package. The company wasn’t having it, and Floyd got blacklisted faster than a fighter who forgot to make weight.
So, Floyd might be retired from the ring, but it seems the battle for Bugatti bragging rights is a fight he lost. But hey, at least he’s got a garage full of other luxury cars to keep him company (and a bank account that probably doesn’t even care).
