Floyd Mayweather’s nickname is obviously “Money” for a reason. He likes to spend it and he has so much money he can practically buy anything he wants. In fact he has so much he ends up buying frivolous things like this. While getting ready for fights including his upcoming mega fight with Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather bought mouthpieces stuffed with real $100 bills.
According to TMZ Sports, Floyd pays roughly $25,000-a-pop to get custom grill-protectors from NYC-based dentist Dr. Lee Gause, one of the most famous mouthpiece makers in pro sports.
So why the high price tag?
Well, the fact Floyd often customizes his guards with things like gold flakes, diamonds and real $100 bills (sealed inside the mouthguard) ups the price from the regular pieces.
Plus, Dr. Guase often flies out to Vegas to customize the fit for “Money” before a fight, and Floyd says Gause’s guards help him breathe better than other mouthpieces.
TMZ spoke with Floyd, who says, “My career’s gone on 19 years and I’ve been able to preserve my smile.”
Mayweather definitely has a beautiful smile but if his teeth ever got knocked out, he can afford to buy platinum, diamond encrusted ones, or just regular new teeth like everyone else.
