Floyd Mayweather said he will wear a mouthguard embedded with diamonds, gold and $100 bills for his fight with Manny Pacquiao next month.
The piece costs £16,800 and is designed by Dr Lee Gause, a New York dentist who often flies to Las Vegas to fit the American’s mouthguard before fights.
Dr Gause inserts a portion of the $100 note into the plastic.
Mayweather, who will clash with Pacquiao on May 2, also has a female chef who is being paid £670 for each meal she prepares during his training camp.
The unbeaten fighter has had an unorthodox training regime in the build-up to the contest and was filmed last month chopping wood.
He is expected to earn around £80m from the fight, which is live on Sky Sports Box Office, while Pacquiao will take home an estimated £53m.
Mayweather v Pacquiao is live on Sky Sports Box Office and the cost of the event will be £19.95 / €24.95 across all forms of booking, up until midnight Friday, May 1. From then on the cost will still be £19.95 / €24.95 if bookings are made via remote control and online, but will cost £24.95 / €29.95 if booked via the phone.
Please note an additional £2 booking fee still applies if bookings are made via a telephone agent. Cable customers please contact your operator for booking information.
