While his BFF Justin Bieber’s leaked frontal nude photos was burning the internet, retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s luxury cars were literally burning while being transported on a trailer. TMZ reports that the boxer’s Bently, a Jeep and two Rolls Royce cars burned to the ground when something went wrong with the trailer on early Wednesday morning outside Phoenix as the vehicles were being transported to Miami from Las Vegas. Arizona State Troopers confirmed the incident. They said that while the four luxury vehicles were burned to a crisp, no one was hurt. Obi Okeke, Mayweather’s car guy for a longtime, also confirmed that the vehicles were transported through Fusion Luxury Motors. However, neither Okeke nor Mayweather has commented on the incident. The fire gutted almost half of Mayweather’s fleet of luxury vehicles including Ferraris, a Porsche, Lamborghini and Bugattis worth $54 million. In August, he purchased a new Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita worth $4.8 million. There are only two such models in the world. Mayweather bought it after he made about $230 million from his May 2 “Fight of the Century” against Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao. However, his Sept. 12 bout versus Haitian boxer Andre Berto bombed and both boxers earned considerably less. The car fire news, ironically, also came amid reports that Pacquiao is retiring after his last fight in 2016 and he is negotiating with Mayweather for a rematch.
