Floyd Mayweather Jr. is pulling out all the stops for his first official fight in Mexico City, Mexico, and that includes riding around town in a bulletproof tank.
In case you don’t know, Mayweather will make his return to the boxing ring this weekend in a rematch against John Gotti III. This will be a reboot from their initial exhibition boxing match back in June 2023, which ended in excessive trash talking and an all-out brawl inside of the ring. Boxing fans have been awaiting Mayweather’s return to action ever since.
Luckily, they won’t have to wait any longer as “Money” meets Gotti live on DAZN PPV this Saturday night (Aug. 24, 2024) from inside Arena CDMX. Believe it or not, this will be the first time in Mayweather’s near-30 year career that he is fighting on Mexican soil. That’s pretty incredible to believe.
While Mexico City isn’t the safest place in the world due to ongoing issues with local cartels it’s especially dangerous for someone like Mayweather. Not only because Mayweather carries an insane amount of cash with him wherever he goes, but also because “Money” has defeated some of Mexico’s most popular boxers. This includes Canelo Alvarez, Oscar De La Hoya, and Juan Manuel Marquez. Needless to say, the undefeated boxer didn’t know what to expect when he traveled south of the border.
In effort to move throughout Mexico City in peace, Mayweather rode around in a massive bulletproof tank. The millionaire boxer has been known to purchase some pretty wild cars over the years, but this one takes the cake. Check out the footage below:
