The festival is a platform for local galleries to display and sell their artworks to buyers. Mayweather was recently present at the Miami faction of Art Basel, along with his friends. The event also saw many other notable names, like Sylvester Stallone, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Martha Stewart, in attendance.

It was reported, that Mayweather’s purchases cost him a whopping USD 3.1 million. Another interesting fact was that all this money was spent in under 60 minutes.
