It seems like Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are on a spending spree just weeks before their historic bout on May 2.
While Pacquiao recently splurged on Jennifer Lopez's former mansion, Mayweather spent $300,000 on a "Land Yacht", based on a report by TMZ Sports.
The land yacht, which is a luxurious customized type of party bus, a Mercedes Benz Sprinter, was shipped to Mayweather at his Las Vegas mansion on April 3. Fusion Luxury Motors delivered the new luxury vehicle from California to the Nevada desert just as Mayweather requested. The black bus featured a giant 55-inch TV with Apple and Direct TV and Encompass Surround Sound stereo system. It also had a champagne bar, Maybach heated massage chairs and cabin lighting system.
InformationNG shared photos of the boxer's land yacht. The interior showed at least three reclining chairs. The champagne bar had bottles and glasses ready and there were a couple of smaller screens sitting on top. The vehicle featured luxurious wood flooring and speakers and air-conditioning nozzles throughout. The rearmost seats could accommodate at least three people. There was blue and white cabin lighting throughout the vehicle, giving it a very posh appearance. The driver seat was visible on the outside but the rear windows were completely blacked out so Mayweather and his crew can enjoy their privacy on the road.
The land yacht would make a fine addition to Mayweather's car collection estimated to be worth almost $6 million. Business Insider previously reported that the champ owns a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano ($350,000), two Ferrari 458 Italia Spiders ($260,000 each), Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet ($170,000), Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 ($400,000), Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport ($1.9 million) and two Bugatti 16.4 Veyron ($1.3 million each). He also owns a Gulfstream GIII jet ($2 million).
Mayweather has recorded a net worth of more than $280 million and is set to earn a minimum of $120 million in his upcoming mega-bout with Filipino champ Manny Pacquiao. It is expected to be the biggest payday to date for both champions. The fight purse was agreed to be split 60-40, with Mayweather getting the bigger share.
Mayweather was also named the top-earning athlete in 2014, recording earnings of over $100 million in a span of 12 months. He is only the second athlete to have earned such a staggering sum within a year's time, the first being golfer Tiger Woods.
Despite his fleet of cars, he does not consider himself a car enthusiast, but said that he simply enjoys having luxurious items.
