Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired after defeating Andre Berto in September 2015 ending his nearly 20-year career with a 49-0 record matching Rocky Marciano's all-time record. One of the world's highest-paid athletes of his generation “Money Mayweather” has made a compelling case for his own self-proclaimed title as the greatest pond-for-pound boxer of all-time.

The offered pair of size 9 Adidas boxing shoes was given directly to our consignor by Floyd himself. Our consignor enjoyed both a professional and personal relationship with the flamboyant boxer between 2006 and 2009. It was during that period that these shoes were gifted by Floyd along with the boxing gloves and wraps also featured in this auction (lots 552 & 553). All of these items were stated as being fight worn at the time they were presented. Mayweather most likely wore these Adidas shoes in the early 2000's before Adidas acquired Reebok in 2005; since then virtually all his fight-worn shoes have the Reebok logo. The black shoes with red trim show light to moderate wear and each shoe has been signed by Mayweather in 9/10 black Sharpie on the outside stripes.

Provenance: This lot originates from a gentleman who has enjoyed a long and successful career in Hollywood as an agent for many well-known athletes and entertainers. His professional and personal network enabled him to amass a significant collection of memorabilia nearly all of which was given to him directly from the athletes and entertainers themselves. All of these items are being introduced to the marketplace here for the first time. While our consignor remains anonymous SCP Auctions will issue an LOA for each game used item attesting to its player-direct provenance.
