Floyd Mayweather in bidding war with ‘high-profile rapper’ to buy luxury £1.9m Maybach also owned by Drake and DJ Khaled

FLOYD MAYWEATHER may have finally met his match after being locked in a celebrity bidding war for a £1.9million Maybach car.

The boxing legend, also known as Money, is not shy in flaunting his staggering wealth.

Mayweather, 44, usually gets what he wants particularly when it comes to vehicles, already boasting a stunning car collection worth around £20m.

But there’s one motor he might not be able to get his hands on.

Earlier this year, Mayweather was in the market for the ultra-rare 2009 Maybach 62S Landaulet.

According to TMZ, there are only eight that have been made worldwide and two belong to artists Drake and DJ Khaled.

Car dealer Obi Okeke, who is flogging the luxury motor, has put a price-tag of £1.9m – or best offer – on it.

The report adds Mayweather is in a bidding war with a high-profile rapper.

As of the latest update, the most-recent bid hit £1.4m with no news since March.

Mayweather, who retired from boxing with a 50-0 record, has earned a reported $1billion throughout his illustrious career – and is now preparing to fight YouTuber Logan Paul on Sunday.

So it would be no surprise to see the American land another knockout blow by making the highest offer.

Hans-Dieter Multhaupt, vice president of program management for Maybach, described the car as: “The Landaulet is for a superrich individual who wants something that is extremely extraordinary and enjoys being driven in a car with acres of sky above them.”

It is also described as a ‘chauffeur-driven limousine’ with a soft partial convertible top with V12 Twin Turbo Engine and 620 horsepower.
