Reactions trail as Floyd Mayweather spent 7 million USD at Gucci in Sandton City, in South Africa.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. reportedly made time during his trip to Africa to drop some serious money on designer goods.
Mayweather, the boxer who won world titles in five divisions and has a 50-0 career record, reportedly dropped $7 million while in a Gucci store in South Africa, according to Esquire Middle East. He was accompanied by a group of security guards, and what sounded like four times as many fans waiting outside of the outlet.
The former undefeated, multi-belt-winning world champion has faced criticism for his lavish lifestyle, including his recent spending spree and controversial exhibition boxing matches. Mayweather has been on the exhibition boxing circuit since retiring from professional boxing in 2017, picking up large sums of cash to fight the likes of Youtube star Logan Paul.
The boxing legend has also faced wider criticism during his Motherland tour, with some fans feeling that he is only there for a big payday.
Mayweather is clearly a fan of luxury. In April, he attended a Gervonta Davis–Ryan Garcia match in Las Vegas with a diamond-encrusted black cap designed by the jeweler Shuki International. It bore the logo of his Money Team lifestyle brand and cost $1 million—though if it were to be resold it would reportedly fetch $5 million as it is one of a kind.
In 2017, Switzerland-based designer Philipp Plein inked a deal with the boxer for his bout with Conor McGregor in Las Vegas. Mayweather wore a custom boxing robe and trunks from the brand, while his entire support team was reportedly also dressed in bespoke outfits.
