American retired professional boxer, Floyd Joy Mayweather, Jr., who is defeated as a professional, has been presented with a pair of shorts lined with 2,000 crystals and he joked: 'I'm saving these for my 50th!'
The five-division world champion, who amassed a fortune of £550million from his 49 fights, was gifted the multi-million shorts in Sheffield, United Kingdom as part of his UK tour.
The shorts were made by the same Fight Label company who created Amir Khan's £30,000 pair for his victory over Devon Alexander in 2014.
Designer, Sophie Whittam told Sportsmail, 'I thought, what do you give the guy who has everything in the world?. But we specialise in custom shorts so I did a pair with his face and the $100 bills on them and fully Swarovski-crystallised them.
'The reaction we got couldn't have been any better, it was a genuine look of surprise. They look like a work of an art with the way the photograph works and the glove comes in from one side and the dollar bills from the other.
'We highlighted the dollar bills and then we did his face and body which is different because we don't usually stone photos. Then we stoned the 'TBE' on the real leather waistband in gold crystals which was the crowning glory.
'He said he wants me to do all the shorts for his fighters in Mayweather Promotions which would be great.'
