How does the world’s most famous boxer celebrate a $200 million victory?
Not by going to Disney World — by hitting the Diamond District.
Three weeks after his May 2 bout against Manny Pacquiao, welterweight champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. was spotted cashing in his winnings for watches, diamonds and gold chains in a half-million-dollar Saturday-afternoon shopping spree on 47th Street.
The world’s richest athlete hit up two of his favorite jewelers, with an entourage of hulking bodyguards — one toting a briefcase full of diamond-encrusted watches and a mysterious bag.
At a small jewelers kiosk called Flawless at the corner of Sixth Avenue, he plunked down “hundreds of thousands of dollars” for timepieces, insiders told The Post.
He has been going to the modest jewelry stand once a month for eight years to buy bling and bring in “old stuff that he’ll have upgraded or downgraded for himself or someone he’s with,” an insider said.
“You can come to my house in Vegas. I have nothing but a palace,” “Money” Mayweather told a salesman before he left.
His next stop was Pristine Jewelers NYC, where he whipped out a hand-scrawled shopping list that included a Cuban-link yellow-gold necklace for $35,000 and a diamond chain for $55,000.
Under the heading “Floyd,” he had listed two $15,000 watches among other items.
Although much of the Diamond District is closed on Saturdays, Mayweather said his bling binge couldn’t wait, telling Pristine’s owners, “Open up the store, Money never sleeps!” insiders said.
Emerging from his spree in the apparent grip of shopper’s high, the 38-year-old pugilist posed and told The Post, “I love the whole world!”
