To mark the occasion, Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe presented a King Power WBC Full Pavé with Emeralds to the undefeated champion, who will also wear the Hublot brand name on his boxing trunks on Saturday night. In line with Hublot’s “First, Different, Unique” brand ethos, Mayweather has previously never had a brand adorn his boxing shorts. The Presentation took place minutes before the boxer took the stage for the highly touted Weigh In.

Floyd “Money” Mayweather, undefeated in 47 fights, and having bestowed upon himself the acronym 'TBE' - 'The Best Ever' will square off with Manny Pacquiao on May 2 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas in what has been hailed the biggest event in the history of the sport. The 11- time world champion, who has not lost a fight since capturing his first world title in 1998, brings an unparalleled, tactical brilliance to the ring that sets him apart from the rest. Outside of the boxing world, Mayweather is a personal fan of Hublot and sits courtside at games of the Miami Heat—a longstanding Hublot partner.

Hublot’s legendary relationship with the World Boxing Council, the governing body of the global sport, began in 2012 when Hublot took the fervor and art of the sport and fused it with the passion and history of the watch world. This synergy resulted in the creation of 12 unique watches, dedicated and signed by twelve legendary boxers.
