Flamboyant American boxer Floyd Mayweather left the world and spectators shocked after showing up to Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis match donned a $1 million cap and an expensive neck chain.

His chain is made of pure diamond, and its price combined with that of his hat, is worth a luxurious life with good cars and a beautiful house.

Jean Louis Shuki, Floyd’s jeweller who trades as Shuki Diamonds, said that the boxer’s black “The Money Team (TMT)” designed cap was extremely encrusted with jewels and was valued at over $1 million.

Shuki Diamonds, reportedly told TMZ Sports that he spent more than a month creating it. Shuki took longer to get the ideal invisible diamonds for it.

The designer describes the process of getting the diamonds on the “The Money Team” cap as arduous, noting that it took hard and exhausting work to get the cap looking just perfect.

According to him, he had to first create a mould, and then sandblast it all before shining it to fit Floyd’s skull perfectly.

But here’s the best part: Mayweather paid nothing for the million-dollar headgear. Mayweather received it from the celebrity jeweller while the two were in Dubai a few weeks ago.

And because the two are great friends, it was a gift for Floyd. Shuki gave his months of work away for free.

When Floyd eventually wore it in public in the boxing match of the year, the jeweller was overjoyed, and he expressed his gratitude for this.

He now believes that if the black TMT cap ever went up for auction, it could fetch more than $5 million.

“There’s only one in the world, it has become historical — it’s Floyd Mayweather,” he said.

With a $460 million net worth portfolio, the 50-0 boxer is among the wealthiest boxers in history.

Following his victory over Conor McGregor, Mayweather became the first man in boxing history to earn more than £1 billion ($1.2 billion) in career earnings.

Since he retired, he lives in luxury from his house in Los Angeles.  He set tongues wagging after purchasing a multi-million-dollar house in Beverly Hills and tastefully designed it.

Known for his love for publicity, Mayweather shared numerous photos of the over $20 million property with his online fans.

In his years on and off the ring, he always has something to fascinate his fans with. If it’s not a high-end watch, it is a fashionable designer outfit.

Mayweather is the greatest boxer in history and after retiring from professional boxing, he now lives like a king.

The 46-year-old made a brilliant record of going undefeated in the ring for over a decade in his career.

However, just before the year 2000, the five-division world champion suffered two defeats when he was an amateur boxer.

And these were the only two losses he counts in his entire boxing career. He then geared up and dominated the boxing world with 50 wins and zero losses.
