FLOYD MAYWEATHER lived up to his ‘Money’ nickname as he splashed out on a lavish new chain.
The 45-year-old is set to fight Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers on February 25 at London’s O2 Arena.
But before that, ‘Money’ splashed out on a glistening new piece of jewellery.
His latest piece was crafted by jewellery manufacturer Johnny Dang & Co, who showed off detailed shots of the chain while also handing it to the boxing legend.
The chain itself cost an eye-watering $1,000,000 (£825,000) to make.
A whopping 8,500 diamonds were used to create the chain.

This splash out is the latest in a long line of lucrative purchases the American has made in recent years.
It comes after sensational claims from YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul that: “Floyd is broke.”
