Floyd Mayweather splashes astonishing £1.4MILLION on 145-carat diamond-encrusted watch to celebrate 48th birthday
FLOYD MAYWEATHER treated himself to a 145-carat diamond-encrusted watch worth £1.4MILLION to celebrate his 48th birthday.
The boxing legend – who made close to £1BILLION in his career – is known to collect expensive jewellery.
And he lived up to his Money monicker after splashing out the $1.8m (£1.4m) on a custom timepiece.
He visited New York’s opulent diamond district and the Pristine Jewelers to collect his newest addition.
Mayweather’s friends Avi Davidov and Ofir Ben Shimon handed him the “One of One” watch to commemorate the launch of his new workout supplement brand Youare101.
Avi and Ofir are celebrity jewellers and masterminded Cardi B’s £400,000 diamond engagement ring.
Daily Mail footage reveals Ofir showing off the watch and saying: “This watch was made specifically for the champ Floyd Money Mayweather, a one of one piece.”
And Mayweather said: “Avi and Ofir have been my close friends for over a decade.
“This watch was crafted by them personally and is very special. And cost a pretty penny.”
Mayweather’s most expensive piece was the $18m (£14.2m) he paid for the Billionaire Watch – embedded with 239 diamonds – made by Jacob & Co.

The American retired from boxing in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
But he has continued to box in exhibition bouts against stars from the boxing, MMA and social media world.
And he took aim at 11-1 YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 28, when probed on a potential fight by Jimmy Fallon.
Mayweather said: “Easy. Easy. Too easy. At 48, too easy.”
