FLOYD
MAYWEATHER has put his £3.8million supercar up for sale as rumours continue to
swirl that he is low on cash.
The former
pound-for-pound king – who is said to have amassed a fortune of more than £500million
– is selling his Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita.
The
Swedish-made car is one of the rarest in the world with only TWO ever produced.
Floyd bought
the supercar in July 2015 for an eye-watering $4.8m (£3.8m) – the mileage,
service history and asking price is not known.
Obi Okeke,
from DoctorBugatti.com that handles Mayweather’s cars, said: “Floyd’s
Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita is one of two cars built in the world, and the only USA
Spec Trevita in existence.
“Floyd’s
hypercar has 1018 horsepower and is classified as the ‘Bugatti fighter’ with a
top speed of over 245 mph.”
The
Koenigsegg features a diamond weave carbon fibre finish and is capable of
hitting 62mph in just 2.9 seconds.
Mayweather,
40, owns a fleet of luxury cars that includes a Bugatti Veyron, a number of
Ferraris and Lamborghinis and a £400,000 Rolls Royce Phantom.
But in
recent weeks there have been rumours that the Money Man has a cashflow problem.
Mayweather
was left gutted after he failed to sell his “favourite car” – the £1.85m
Bugatti Veyron – at auction in January.
British UFC
champ Michael Bisping claimed last month that Mayweather was conned out of a
large amount of money.
He said:
"I was talking to someone in Las Vegas and I heard that Floyd recently got
scammed out of a lot of money.
"The
number was very, very big. I don’t think Floyd needs the money, but he wants to
replace this money that he got swindled out of."
Bisping also
believes that the only reason Mayweather is entertaining a return to the ring
to meet Conor McGregor is because of the money that will be on offer.
A
Mayweather-McGregor bout would likely be the richest fight in history.
"My bet
is that the fight will happen," Bisping, who is in talks to fight either
Georges St-Pierre or Yoel Romero, added.
"Will
it happen in June? I don’t know, that might be a bit too soon.
"Both
guys stand to make a s***-tonne of money out of it. I’m all for it to be
honest.
"I’m
looking forward to seeing it and I’m all for everybody making money, so good
for them.
"You
have to agree on a purse and then UFC have to agree on a split.
"The
UFC are business people as well and WME (new UFC owners), if the pot is big
enough, then they’re not going to say no."
