Floyd Mayweather has become the only person in the world to make a major purchase after splashing big on a luxury collection.

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has once again made headlines with his latest opulent acquisition: the exclusive Avi & Co Hue collection.

Valued at an astonishing $1 million, Mayweather has become the first person in the world to own this luxury collection, which features four stunning gemstone-encrusted watches in vibrant colours.

Each timepiece, meticulously crafted by luxury brand Avi & Co, is a masterpiece in its own right, priced at $250,000.

The collection includes watches adorned in blue, pink, green, and yellow gemstones, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and unique design.

This latest purchase is not just a testament to Mayweather’s extravagant lifestyle but also highlights his status as a connoisseur of luxury goods.

Having retired from professional boxing in 2017, Mayweather has amassed an estimated $1.2 billion in earnings over his illustrious career, which includes a perfect 50-0 record.

His continued involvement in high-profile exhibition matches has allowed him to maintain his lavish lifestyle, often flaunting his impressive collection of supercars, mansions, and high-end fashion.

Mayweather's passion for luxury watches is well-documented. Prior to acquiring the Hue collection, he already owned a series of exquisite timepieces from Avi & Co.

This longstanding relationship with the brand has cultivated a friendship between Mayweather and Avi Hiaeve, the designer behind the collection. Hiaeve expressed admiration for Mayweather, stating, “He’s a very close friend of mine. We’ve been doing business for a long time and are there for each other beyond business.”

After securing the Hue collection, Mayweather shared his excitement, saying, “The Hue collection hits hard. People are constantly asking me about my Avi & Co. watches. It just feels right.” This sentiment underscores the significance of the acquisition, as it represents not just wealth but a deep appreciation for artistry and craftsmanship.

The collection was previously housed in a special edition winder-display box in New York, emphasizing its exclusivity and the high regard in which it is held.

With this purchase, Mayweather adds another feather to his cap, further cementing his status as a global icon in both the boxing world and the realm of luxury collectibles.
