Although Mayweather’s past mistake may have cost him the privilege of owning future Bugattis, he has not shied away from purchasing other luxury cars. For now, his once-prized Bugatti finds a new home among enthusiastic car collectors.

Why was Floyd Mayweather blacklisted by Bugatti?

Mayweather was blacklisted by the French company after he sold the above-mentioned car for a significantly higher price than what he paid. This move did not sit well with Bugatti, as it was seen as a breach of trust. Consequently, Bugatti decided to blacklist Mayweather, banning him from owning or displaying any of their cars in the future.
