Floyd Mayweather in a bulletproof tank—Is this peak extravagance or just another day for him?

Floyd Mayweather‘s opulent lifestyle knows no bounds. From private jets to his exquisite luxury car collection, he has it all. The richest boxer in the world has no qualms about brazenly displaying his wealth. Although retired from professional boxing, Mayweather’s “smart investments” have bolstered his net worth to $1.2 billion. On top of that, he is willing to lace up his boxing gloves for exhibition fights, only if the price is right.

Consequently, Mayweather will share the ring again with John Gotti III on August 24 in Mexico City. On that note, ‘TBE’ seems to have arranged the best security detail money can buy. Videos of him moving around Mexico City in a bulletproof vehicle could make you believe that he got on the wrong side of the drug cartel. Nevertheless, fans had a field day making fun of Mayweather for moving around with security that not even many heads of state can afford.

VIP treatment for Floyd Mayweather!

DAZN Boxing took to Instagram to post videos of Mayweather moving around Mexico City in a jet-black bulletproof vehicle. He is in the city for his upcoming boxing match against John Gotti III, grandson of the former boss of the Gambino Crime Family, John Gotti. However, it seems like he is more concerned about his safety outside of the ring than trading punches inside the ring. The video shows Mayweather stepping into the vehicle to visit his favorite restaurant in Mexico, Chambao.

As he got out of his vehicle, he was surrounded by his security personnel as he made his way to the restaurant. There was a crowd of people waiting outside the restaurant just to catch a glimpse of him. ‘Pretty Boy’ seems to have a special relationship with Chambao as in 2021 too he was there with his friends feasting on super colossal Maine lobster, and enjoying some live music and acrobatic dancing at the plush restaurant.

On the other hand, fans couldn’t wait to dish out their opinions on Floyd’s Mexico excursions in a ‘bulletproof tank’.
