When your nickname is "Money," turning up to work in a $4.8 million car represents just another day in the office.
No
stranger to flashing the cash in the past, Floyd Mayweather this week
unveiled the latest addition to his multi-million collection of motors
-- the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita.
Billed
as a "hypercar" -- supposedly superior to a supercar -- it was the
38-year-old's chosen mode of transport for his journey to the Mayweather
Boxing Club Wednesday for his latest training session ahead of his
September 12 fight against Andre Berto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Mayweather -- ranked by Forbes as the world's highest-paid athlete
-- claims to own one of only two models ever made by the Swedish
company Koenigsegg, which he refers to as "an ultra boutique automobile
manufacturer for the super rich."
If
pulling up to work in a $4.8 million car was not a big enough
declaration of his wealth for Mayweather, he then proceeded to park his
new toy alongside his three Bugatti Veyrons and a white Ferrari before
heading inside to train.
The five cars of Mayweather's on show outside of his boxing club are believed to be worth a total of $10.6 million.
Mayweather's bout against Berto -- his first since seeing off Manny Pacquiao in the richest fight in boxing history in May
-- is said to be his last, with the 38-year-old, who has never lost as a
professional, having previously said he will retire afterward.
