Apperantly Floyd Mayweather felt that in case you didn't know how much money he can throw away, that he would remind us...again. I got a suggested link on Facebook today about Mayweather's car collection, so I thought I'd take a look see. Scrolling through I'd say that I was rather unimpressed. couple of Rolls Royce's, couple of Bentley's, some Ferrari's, a Lambo, and a Bugatti. Now this isn't really a rip on Floyd, but celebs in general who are called car collectors, but their collection looks like any Miami, L.A., N.Y.C., luxury car lot out there. I don't know to me having these cars seems to be more about fitting the celeb mold, and telling the world about how much money you have. What do you think?

Well, yes, it is a collection. No, its not really a good one, but to each, their own.

I agree. It's technically a collection of cars. Although a very cookie-cutter collection at that.

You can have 6-8 Toyotas and it would be called a collection. It doesn't matter what year, make or model unless you call it a "muscle car collection", "classic car collection" or "luxury car collection." I currently have 3 cars but would not consider it enough to be a collection, for 1 person I would say 5 plus.

I do believe he owns 3 Bugatti's. To me, this is a collection in itself considering they are about 1.5 million each.

It's a collection, just not a very inspired one. I'd certainly rather go see Jay Lenos than Mayweathers.

Jay could charge Disneyland price admission and I would pay to go see it. His collection is amazing.

Yes. Although he probably trades them in frequently to have the latest and greatest.
