Hublot’s persistent commitment to affiliations with sports that have traditionally been overlooked by the more conservative Swiss watch industry continues to yield dividends. Today, Hublot presented Floyd Mayweather with a unique timepiece and announced that the champion would proudly display the Hublot logo on his boxing trunks during the figҺt. Remarkably, this marks the first instance of Mayweather endorsing a company image or nаme in such a manner.
This development shouldn’t come as a surprise, given Mayweather’s well-known passion for luxury watches, particularly those bedecked in exquisite adornments. Like many other celebrities who have risen from humble beginnings to achieve immense success, Mayweather takes great pleasure in showcasing his collection of opulent timepieces, which collectively command a staggering worth in the milliоns of dollars. Articles on the Dupont Registry and the sports website SB Nation offer detailed insights into Mayweather’s penchant for lavishly diamond-studded watches.
In contrast to some athletes who craft more “PR-friendly” personas for brand endorsements, individuals like Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are complex figures whose histories align with the rugged world of professional boxing. Nevertheless, both Mayweather and Pacquiao stand as true masters of the sweet science, and their upcoming figҺt remаins a compelling spectacle, even as they approach the twilight of their respective careers at the ages of 38 and 36.
Hublot’s venture into the realm of boxing is not new. This sport, often overshadowed by more genteel European luxury pursuits like yacht racing, golf, and equestrian events, was embraced by Hublot back in 2012 when they formed a partnership with the World Boxing Council (WBC). This collaboration resulted in the creation of unique timepieces, paying homage to legendary and now retired boxing legends.
One notable outcome of this partnership was the Hublot King Power WBC watch, never available for retail sale. A modified version of this timepiece, adorned with diamonds and emeralds, has been crafted for Floyd Mayweather. Earlier today, before his bout with Pacquiao, Mayweather received his exclusive Hublot King Power WBC Full Pave with Emeralds watch. This act serves as clear confirmation of his deep affection for high-end watches, including those from Hublot, and he eagerly anticipates adding this exceptional piece to his already impressive collection.
