Floyd Mayweather can’t ditch his $2.3 million Bugatti

Retired boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr is struggling to off-load one of his prized luxury supercars despite putting it up for sale 12 months ago.

With an eye-watering $2.3 million price tag, it’s perhaps no surprise that the seven-year-old convertible Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport hasn’t been snapped up.

The pound-for-pound boxing king is looking to cash in on the 2011 Bugatti so he can buy the latest model.

Mayweather, 40, who lives in Las Vegas, advertised the supercar in the latest California edition of luxury motor magazine, Highline Autos.

The Bugatti, which he reportedly paid $3.5 million for in 2014, is finished in a pearl white matte with a white and red leather interior and red carbon-fiber accents.

According to the classified ad in the magazine, the vehicle has just 1,650 miles on the clock and comes with a full-service history.

The Bugatti is powered by a W16 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged engine (with 922 ft lbs of torque) producing up to 1,000 horse power.

It has a top speed of 254 mph and does 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds.

The ad boasts the car is ‘one of 58 Veyron Grand Sports produced’ and has a removable hardtop, parking assist, along with red break calipers.

Arizona firm Luxury Auto Collection has struggled to sell the vehicle for Mayweather since it went up for sale in January 2017 for $2.45 million.

The car, which has since dropped in price to $2.29 million, was first wheeled out at the Barrett-Jackson’s auto show auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, in January 2017, but with no takers.

Mayweather was said to be visibly upset when the car didn’t sell for a profit despite a $1.9 million bid.

The supercar had a reserve price of $2 million at the auction but the highest bid was still $100,000 short leaving the boxer disappointed.

Even Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler showed an interest but didn’t end up buying.

Luxury Auto Collection in Scottsdale confirmed to DailyMail.com that the Bugatti is still for sale but declined to comment.

The amazing collection has included two different Bugatti Veyrons, two Ferrari 458 Spiders, a Lamborghini Aventador, a Porsche 911 Turbo S, a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, an Aston Martin One-77, a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita, as well as several Bentleys and Rolls-Royce Phantoms.

But while the former fighter remains undefeated in the ring he may soon have to throw in the towel on selling his white Buggati, either that or reduce the price again.
