FLOYD MAYWEATHER has splashed out three-quarters of a million pounds to complete a luxury watch collection.

Mayweather, who retired from professional boxing in 2017, pocketed an estimated £900million ($1.2billion) across his pro fighting career before continuing to rake in the cash with exhibition matches.

The 47-year-old has an estimated net worth of £336m and has made a number of mind-boggling purchases.

This includes a £20m car collection, property – one of which he recently sold for $22.5m – and a watch collection.

And he has now added a stunning gemstone-encrusted set of four Avi and Co watches to his collection.

The four watches – all members of the Hue Collection – come in four different colours; blue, green, red and pink.

Each watch reportedly cost $250,000, a retail price “Money” Mayweather could not refuse.

The purchase has made him the first person in the world to own the full set, with the watches previously being kept in a special-edition winder-display box in New York.

Avi and Co, founded in 2009, regularly fit their star-studded clientele with the luxury accessories.

Following his purchase, Mayweather said on Instagram: “When the craftsmanship at @aviandco is this impeccable, choosing just one watch wasn’t an option… so I bought all four from the exclusive ‘Hue Collection.’

“This is the kind of quality you can only get from a jeweler who’s available 24/7, where the service is as priceless as the jewels.

“A special thanks to @Forbes for consistently recognizing me and others in such a positive light—always a class act.

He added: “The Hue collection hits hard.

“People are constantly asking me about my Avi & Co. watches. It just feels right.”

Forbes reported Mayweather already owned seven of the watches.

Designer Avi Hiaeve said: “He’s a very close friend of mine. We’ve been doing business for a long time and outside of business we are there for each other.

“We talk about other things. He has always been my supporter.”

Mayweather’s last exhibition bout came last month in a rematch against John Gotti III – a fight in which Mayweather appeared to AXE the referee mid fight.
