Floyd Mayweather Jr., the flamboyant boxer, elicits strong opinions, with supporters and detractors alike. Regardless of one’s personal stance, it’s undeniable that he was an exceptional boxer and ranks among the all-time greats. Upon his retirement in 2017 from professional boxing (though he continues with exhibition matches), Mayweather left with an unblemished record and 15 major world championships.
Beyond the boxing arena, Mayweather’s ostentatious persona extends to his online presence and role as a boxing promoter, notably through his company, The Money Team (TMT). Renowned for his extravagant style, he is equally recognized for his flashy wardrobe. Much like his counterpart Conor McGregor, Mayweather’s penchant for opulence is reflected in his watch collection, boasting timepieces from luxury brands such as Richard Mille, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Hublot. Mayweather’s watches mirror the flamboyance of the man himself, a privilege earned by being arguably the greatest boxer in history. Whether showcased on Instagram or worn casually, let’s explore the lightweight champion’s impressive collection of timepieces.
HUBLOT MP-05 LAFERRARI SAPPHIRE
The partnership between Mayweather and Hublot appears to be a natural fit, as both entities, while polarizing, excel in their respective domains. Hublot, known for its flamboyant and extravagant timepieces, aligns seamlessly with Mayweather’s penchant for luxury. Among the notable pieces in Floyd’s Hublot collection is the MP-05 LaFerrari, a watch that stands out for its unique features.The caliber HUB9005 movement of the LaFerrari is designed to mimic the intricate workings of a Ferrari engine, adding a touch of automotive flair to horology. The case, crafted from a single piece of sapphire, enhances the watch’s exclusivity and showcases Hublot’s commitment to innovation. Notably, the timepiece features vertically mounted tourbillon in addition to the intricate “engine” gears, showcasing its technical prowess.Floyd Mayweather has been spotted sporting his LaFerrari at various Hublot-sponsored events and in casual settings, providing confirmation of its inclusion in his collection. Upon its release in 2016, the Hublot LaFerrari in sapphire commanded a retail price of $575,000. Presently, it is available on the secondary market at just under retail, priced at $545,000, reflecting its enduring appeal and value in the world of high-end watches.
HUBLOT BIG BаNG UNICO HAUTE JOAILLERIE
You might have noticed that the initial two images of Mayweather are identical; that’s because he’s not just donning one but two watches. Alongside the previously highlighted LaFerrari, Mayweather is also showcasing the extravagant Hublot Big Bаng Unico Haute Joaillerie. The story goes that Floyd acquired (or perhaps purchased) this timepiece during a lavish shopping spree in Dubai back in 2015. Given Mayweather’s close ties with Hublot, there’s a hint of a marketing narrative in this acquisition.Unveiled in 2015, the Big Bаng Unico Haute Joaillerie that Floyd occasionally sports is bedecked with an impressive array of 653 baguette factory-set diamonds, amounting to a substantial 40.02 carats. The eye-watering retail price for this opulent timepiece was an astonishing $1.1 million.
HUBLOT BIG BаNG UNICO TMT YELLOW GOLD
My skepticism regarding whether Mayweather paid the full price for his Hublots, or paid at all, is heightened by his collaborations with Hublot on exclusive pieces. One notable example is the Hublot Unico TMT in yellow gold. Positioned above the Hublot logo at 12 o’clock are the letters TMT, representing Mayweather’s company, “The Money Team.” The yellow gold variant boasts factory-set diamonds on both the bezel (48 baguette-cut diamonds) and the dial (378 brilliant-cut diamonds), featuring an open skeleton design.This particular timepiece was released as a limited edition, with only 10 pieces available. Priced at $93,700, it not only included the exquisite watch but also came with a unique bonus—a boxing glove personally autographed by Mayweather. Such collaborations between Mayweather and Hublot further raise questions about the commercial aspect of their relationship and the extent to which Mayweather acquires these timepieces through conventional means.
JACOB & CO. BILLIONAIRE III WATCH
If I were to pinpoint another luxury watch brand that perfectly complements Floyd Mayweather’s extravagant persona, Jacob & Co. would be my immediate choice. Jacob & Co. is renowned for crafting timepieces that are bold, sizable, and often adorned with an abundance (and I meаn a considerable abundance) of diamonds. A prime example is the Jacob & Co. Billionaire III, a watch that Mayweather has frequently showcased.True to its nаme, the Jacob & Co. Billionaire watch is a spectacle in luxury. It is adorned with a staggering 260 carats of emerald-cut diamonds, featuring a rectangular case and a visible, skeletonized dial. Astoundingly, the retail price for this watch is reported to be $18,000,000. Yes, Floyd Mayweather possesses an $18 million watch, although the actual amount he paid for it remаins a mystеry. The $18 million price tag places Mayweather’s Jacob & Co. Billionaire III among the most expensive watches in existence. This watch undeniably commands attention with its unparalleled opulence.
JACOB & CO. ROYAL
Following the grandeur of the Billionaire III, transitioning to the Jacob & Co. Royal might seem like a descent, but it’s another diamond-laden marvel in Floyd Mayweather’s collection. This timepiece boasts a substantial size, featuring a 49mm case diameter, and is entirely adorned with baguette-cut diamonds on the dial, bracelet, and case.The Jacob & Co. Royal, like its nаme suggests, exudes regality and opulence. With a retail price hovering around $1,000,000, it stands as another testament to Mayweather’s penchant for the most extravagant timepieces on the market. Despite being a step down in terms of price compared to the Billionaire III, the Jacob & Co. Royal maintains its status as a luxury watch with remarkable craftsmanship and an unmistakable aura of sophistication.
JACOB & CO. RAINBOW TOURBILLON
Every Jacob & Co. wristwatch in Mayweather’s collection is a dazzling showcase of diamonds, including the exclusive Rainbow Tourbillon, a unique piece adorned with 416 diamonds set in a white gold case. The white diamonds embellish the bezel, case, and bracelet, while yellow diamonds grace the dial. This extraordinary timepiece features a visible tourbillon movement at 9 o’clock and is priced at approximately $2,000,000. Mayweather’s penchant for luxury is evident in this bespoke creation, epitomizing the fusion of intricate craftsmanship and extravagant design.
PATEK PHILIPPE NAUTILUS 5723/1R
In Mayweather’s collection, there exists a comparatively more subdued timepiece that happens to be a personal favorite of mine: the Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5723/1R. This model, crafted in rose gold, features a factory-set baguette ruby bezel and baguette ruby indices on a rich chocolate dial. While gem-set watches may not typically catch my eye, the 5723/1R is a notable exception. Priced at around $350,000, the Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5723/1R is an understated yet exquisite choice. For those less inclined towards rose gold, an alternative platinum version of the watch is also available.
AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK 15130
Mayweather’s watch collection features several pieces from the renowned Swiss brand Audemars Piguet, among them the Royal Oak Ref. 15130. This particular timepiece is adorned with opulence, with its bracelet and case embellished with 474 baguette-cut diamonds, complemented by an additional 116 baguette-cut diamonds on the dial. The cumulative carat weight of these diamonds amounts to an impressive 54.52. Unsurprisingly, the retail price for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 15130 reflects its lavish composition, standing at $1,390,000. This watch stands as a testament to Mayweather’s affinity for timepieces that seamlessly blend precision engineering with luxurious aesthetics.
AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK RAINBOW CHANDELIER
Welterweight boxer Floyd Mayweather is known for his fearless approach to customizing his ultra-luxury timepieces. While his Royal Oak Ref. 15130 remained in its factory state, Mayweather’s Royal Oak Rainbow Chandelier is a bespoke creation. Crafted through a custom commission with jeweler Eric Da Jeweler, the Rainbow Chandelier boasts an extravagant array of gemstones, including baguette-cut sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and diamonds. The result is a timepiece that exudes serious opulence and bling. As of now, the specific price for this unique piece remаins unknown, leaving room for speculation and conjecture among enthusiasts.
AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE WITH DIAMONDS
Mayweather has been spotted wearing a yellow gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore adorned with diamonds on the dial, bezel, case, and bracelet. In contrast to the Royal Oak, the Offshore model is slightly larger and boasts a more sporty design, evident in features like the rubber crown and pushers. Notably, it seems that the entire 18-karat bracelet and case of the timepiece have been aftermarket set with diamonds, including a pave dial, deviating from the factory setting. Similar pieces can be found on the secondary market for approximately $100,000, reflecting both the customization and the inherent luxury associated with Mayweather’s taste in watches.
AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
Floyd Mayweather has a penchant for substantial timepieces, and one of the most sizable he has been photographed wearing is the 48 mm limited edition Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Arnold Schwarzenegger model in rose gold with diamonds. Created in collaboration with the Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, this timepiece features chocolate brown subdials, numeral indices, tachymeter, and is embellished with diamonds throughout, including a pavé dial. The harmonious pairing of a rose gold case with a chocolate brown dial adds to the luxurious appeal of this watch. Given the rarity of this model, there are few instances of it appearing on the market, making its current market price unknown.
RICHARD MILLE RM 59-01 TOURBILLON YOHAN BLAKE
It might come as a surprise, but one of Mayweather’s more discreet timepieces happens to be a Richard Mille—the RM 59-01 Yohan Blake edition, devoid of any diamonds. Limited to just 50 pieces, this watch was collaboratively designed with Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake, tailored specifically for sprinters. Retailing at $620,000, the RM 59-01 is part of a series of Richard Mille watches seen on other athletes like tennis great Rafael Nadal and golfer Bubba Watson, clearly engineered to withstand the demands of rigorous athletic pursuits. As for the intriguing question of whether Mayweather will ever step into the boxing ring donning a Richard Mille, only time will tell.
RICHARD MILLE RM 35-02 TOURBILLON RAFAEL NADAL
As we previously touched upon Richard Mille’s emphasis on athletic design, exemplified in collaborations with athletes like Rafael Nadal, it turns out Floyd Mayweather is not only aware but has been seen sporting their joint creation—the Richard Mille RM 35-02 Tourbillon “Rafael Nadal.” Distinguishing itself from some of Nadal’s other collaborations, this timepiece boasts an automatic movement, deviating from the manually wоund tourbillon. Mayweather’s personalized version adds a touch of opulence with an iced-out bezel adorned with diamonds. The retail price for this unique piece stands at $135,000, underlining the blend of precision engineering and luxury that defines Richard Mille watches.
RICHARD MILLE RM 011 FELIPE MаSSа
Concluding our exploration of Mayweather’s Richard Mille collection is the RM 011 Felipe Mаssа. Mayweather’s titanium timepiece stands out with its diamond-encrusted case and bezel, complemented by a distinctive pink strap. Equipped with a flyback chronograph function and a date display, the Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Mаssа combines both style and functionality. On the secondary market, this exquisite piece is currently fetching around $245,000, reflecting the enduring allure and demand for these high-end, limited-edition timepieces.
