• Floyd Mayweather Jr. once splashed the cash on a seriously exclusive Koenigsegg hypercar 
• He spent more than $4 million on a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita
• Only two of the stunning hypercars were ever madeFloyd Mayweather Jr. once splashed the cash on a Koenigsegg hypercar that was one of just two ever made.

  The boxing legend – who has the nickname Money, for fairly obvious reasons – parted with a whopping $4,800,000 to get his hands on a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita.

  

   

  With an estimated net worth of around $400 million, money is basically no object to Money.

  From a $50 million private jet that’s like a flying palace to a $1.4 million diamond-encrusted watch, he’s happy to spend big to get what he wants.

  And it seems one of the things he wants is an epic car collection, which he’s been adding to over the years.

  But even among such a high-end collection – stuffed with Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royce, and Ferraris – the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita is a real gem.

  For starters, it is one of the fastest cars ever made with a top speed of 400 km/h (248 mph).

  The CCXR Trevita’s 4.7 liter V8  can produce 1,018 horsepower and 781lb-ft of torque and can hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.1 seconds.

  And what makes it all the more special is the fact that just two of the stunning hypercars were ever made.

  The car gets its name from an abbreviation of Swedish words that translate into ‘three whites’.

  And it features totally unique, specially-designed carbon weave bodywork.

  “Prior to the Trevita, car manufacturers only had access to traditional black carbon fiber,” Koenigsegg explained.

  

   

   

   

  “Koenigsegg developed a unique coated fiber solution for the Trevita program that transformed the fibers from black to a sparkling, silvery-white.

  “When sunlight hits the Trevita, it sparkles as if millions of tiny white diamonds are infused inside the visible carbon fiber bodywork.” Sounds fancy.

  Mayweather showed off the car in an Instagram post when he bought it back in 2015.

  “My new 4.8 million dollar car,” he wrote. “$4,800,000 Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita supercar. Koenigsegg is an ultra boutique automobile manufacturer for the super-rich.

  “Koenigsegg made only two Trevita for the world and this is the number two of two.”

  How the other half live, eh?

Through ups and downs, through beefs and buys, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is back to the place where he is known to be the best—the ring. It’s been seven years since he hung the gloves professionally. However, it seems, ‘The Money’ magic has yet to fade. One often gets a glimpse of those exceptional moves in the exhibition bouts that he fights every year. After their last fight ended in the most disastrous fashion, Mayweather Jr. and John Gotti III will circle back next month to conclude their argument. So to prepare himself for the match, the undefeated former champion is back in the gym.

Footage of Floyd Mayweather Jr. executing the speed drill on the pads with his new trainer has been going viral. The fact that he has been boxing since his childhood is fairly well known, but still, even at age 47, he can throw punches with such dexterity. It might put men half his age to shame. Needless to say, the post has been witnessing a stream of comments ever since it appeared.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.: Ready for Round Two

TalkSPORT‘s Michael Benson shared the nearly minute-long video. The message of the post read, “Floyd Mayweather bringing back his masterful pads routine at age 47 today…” The clip begins with the former world champion calling out Mexico City, which will play host to the Gotti III rematch on August 24.

“Let me give you guys a little show,” and off he started. His trainer held the pads on both hands. Mayweather Jr. first started with a straight hit on the inside. A short upper cut (right hand) at the trainer’s right, followed by a quick short straight with the same hand. Then his left hand took the third turn. One more straight right, and then left. He repeated the sequence with a slight variation.

The third sequence was reserved for defense. The trainer threw her left hand at Mayweather Jr.’s face, forcing him to move his head, first to his right, then left, and then backwards. Another round of combinations. and a quick change of direction followed. The seamless execution and sheer speed of Mayweather Jr.’s shots were simply breathtaking.

Timeless Inspiration

No wonder most fans had nothing but words of appreciation for the retired champion. Though a few didn’t hesitate to take digs, by and large, the comments largely reflected Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s greatness with gloves.

Wonderstruck, this fan expressed disbelief at how Floyd Mayweather Jr., even at this age, remains hugely talented and capable. According to the fan, the former champion still has it in him to compete against and potentially defeat some of today’s best welterweights.

This fan found it remarkable that someone at age 47 could accomplish such a challenging task so impressively. They stated that it would be difficult for those who might be half his age.

This fan probably stretched their imagination. According to them, perhaps Vasyl Lomachenko‘s matchup with Mayweather Jr. would have been a better alternative to the one initially planned with Gervonta Davis.

For the following fan, maintaining hand speed at an advanced age is simply extraordinary.

But to this fan, instead of Mayweather Jr.’s new trainer, they would rather watch the former champion while in his prime, training together with his late uncle Roger Mayweather. The sheer magic they used to create while working on the pads was something else.

Even the other day, fans had mixed reactions to ‘Money’ training with a heavy punching bag. While it impressed a few, some appeared a bit critical.

The fight with John Gotti III follows rumors of a rematch with former opponents Victor Ortiz and Manny Pacquiao. Unfortunately, neither of those fights materialized. Given the brawl that broke out during the first match with Gotti III, fans might be hoping that the second edition comes out clean and with a formal closure.

What is your take on Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s skills? Do you also feel that the former world champion can still give a lot of young men a run for their money?
