Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has been given a lot of gifts throughout his life. The fame of being one of the best boxers in the world naturally garners attention towards him with people trying to get on his good side. However, there are some gifts Money has received that stand out from others.

Back in 2021, Mayweather was gifted a limited edition Kobe Bryant trading card estimated to be worth $15,000. The card was a picture of LeBron James guarding Bryant and was gifted to him by sportswear company Wooter Apparel. The company’s representative was very excited to give the card to Mayweather and told him it was in mint condition.

Money then thanked him for this gesture and promoted him and his brand. “The magic is unbelievable. I mean, he’s always given me great gifts, here’s another gift. I wanna say thank you, I appreciate you and the world should appreciate his work.” said Mayweather.

Following this, Money then hilariously asked the representative if could get LeBron James to sign it. “Can I get LeBron to sign it?” he asked. The dumbfounded representative then told him that the card would be worth a lot more if James were to sign it.

Mayweather has also reciprocated the attention he gets from his team and fans. This was on full display when he bought $1 million worth of cars for his team.

Mayweather has always been the person who took great care of the people around him. After his exhibition bout against Logan Paul, he went to Las Vegas Towbin Auto Group and picked up three 2021 Dodge Challengers, two 2021 Dodge Chargers, a Dodge Journey, a 2021 Mercedes-Maybach, a 2021 Mercedes S560, and a 2021 white Rolls-Royce Ghost.

The former 4-division champ is notorious for having a preference for Rolls Royce cars. Thus, it came as no surprise when he went back to the dealership and bought another Rolls Royce Ghost for himself. However, this might not be the best look for him after Logan Paul accused him of not paying him his share of the fight.
