Known for his ostentatious displays of his wealth, Floyd Mayweather Jr has come up with another gimmick ? a $25,000 mouthpiece which he will supposedly wear in his mega-buxk fightnagainst eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2. Obviously, Mayweather wants to look really cute when he smiles at Pacquiao across the ring before the action begins. But it may not last very long if Pacquiao nails him with one of his devastating left or right straights which is certainly possible. TMZ which chronicles just about everything Mayweather does ? or doesn?t do ? reported that New York based dentist Lee Gause crafted the customized mouthpiece with diamond dust, gold flakes and even $100 bills. According to TMZ the dentist flies to Los Angeles often to make sure his client?s are pleased with his work.
Well known dentist Ed De La Vega who is a boxing writer, first class photographer, sometime cutman and someone who makes mouthguards for champions, posted on twitter, ?so what if FMJ?s mouthguard costs $25T? I can assure you they are no better than Manny Pacquiao?s custom mouthguards. Don?t believe the hype!? ?Pretty Boy? who clearly wants t look prettier for the ?Fight of the Century? must be pleased with the end product as TNZ quoted Mayweather as saying ? My career?s gone on 19 years and I?ve been able to preserve my smile.? Nobody around Mayweather, least of all Floyd himself, has given a thought to the possibility that Pacquiao may smash his mouth with one devastating punch and wreck his $25,000 work of art.
