    I was walking around (in Wal-mart of all places) and saw a glimpse of a 430 on the front of a magazine. Turns out this magazine is called "Dub" and you can guess what most of the magazine is about.

    However, this month's cover (1 of 2 covers? weird style of publishing....) was Floyd "Money" Mayweather and his car collection including a rather exclusive 430. Here's the article:
    http://www.dubdaily.com/?p=808

    I did a search and this was mentioned only once that I found in the 430 section: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147266

    Interesting customization on the rear of the 430.

    Figured everyone would get a kick out of it.

    To Floyd Mayweather, his Ferrari (and other cars) are no different than his jewelry...basically something to customize and make exclusive. I'm not bothered by what Floyd had done to his Ferrari. To each his own.

    BTW, those are diamond encrusted boxing gloves. Not my style, but when you're pocketing $6,000,000 -to- $11,000,000 per fight, you do what you want and to h*ll with what people think.

    Bill, I seriously doubt he'll be broke by 45. He has many business interests outside of boxing and is connected with some heavy hitter entrepreneurs. The guy's no dummy. An older uncle of mine use to say "guys like Puffy and Jay Z will end up like MC Hammer." Well, each is now worth over $500 million. These guys are a lot sharper than most give them credit for. Heck, 50 Cent got a $100 Million payout from Vitamin Water because he went for stock instead of a paycheck. Mayweather, Jay-Z, and others parlay that "bling" image into millions...

    ...last I read, 50 Cent's stock options in Vitamin Water were worth $400 Million at the time of Vitamin Water's purchase by Coke or PepsiCo.....

    Welcome to 7 years ago.

    It isn't just a magazine anymore, they put on custom car shows and have the celebrities and mainstream media figures come out with their cars and such.

    So very true but it also just goes to show a person with too much money & no taste at all! Kinda like the lite blue '94 Lincoln Town Car I saw today rollin on 22's DUB"S with huge lettering on the side that said '94 Lincoln Town Car', I put down my window so the driver could see me laughing at them!

    There is no such thing as too much money. If I could I would own more cars than I have now. The 599 would be number one on my list!
    Taste is another issue. I happen to agree that he has horrible taste. My 430 is Black on Black and stock. I wouldn't buy a red 599 or any
    red Ferrari for that matter. I just dont like red cars. Now the Lincoln you mentioned....NO EXCUSE!

    It's his money and his cars. He can do what he wants with them.


    For those who can't stand what he has done to his cars, let's see you say it to his face.

    Mayweather is pound for pound, one of the greatest boxers of all time, and he's still in his prime! His body of work as a fighter dwarfs Hattons. Plus this was Hatton's first fight of that magnitude, so Ricky had about a snowball's chance in hades of "putting him in his place." I pray they don't fight again cause it'll be the same result.

    What always makes me cringe in these poses is people sitting on these beautiful cars, let alone resting a metal finger ring on top of the paint finish. Might as well just climb atop the bonnet, cop a squat, and cross those legs to show off the alligator-skin cowboy boots while you're at it...

    I met him a few years ago at the Land Rover dealer in Vegas. He had the whole entourage there and a CL55AMG with some huge wheels out front, not exactly the nicest guy but I guess if you get the attention all the time it gets annoying.
