How Floyd Mayweather Ordered £1.5m Bugatti In 12 Hours From Nigerian Dealer by chibecanglobal(m): 7:46am On Apr 13, 2015 |
“Obi, I’m not going to buy them 458s, I want to buy that Enzo and I want to buy it now. Lets go.” That was a 3am order from super rich Boxer, Floyd Mayweather to Nigerian born US citizen, Obi Okeke who runs Fusion Luxury Motors. The £1.5million valued super-car was delivered just 11 hours later, and was added to his collection of impressive motors. Obi Okeke, who owns Fusion Luxury Motors, was interviewed on the video on Mayweather’s Facebook page and spoke about the very late phone call he received. Obi Okeke and Floy Mayweather He said: ‘The most challenging thing I’ve ever done for Floyd is when he called me at three o’clock in the morning and said, Obi, I want a Bugatti and I want one in my driveway in 12 hours. ‘I then showered, went into my office, did some work and hopped on a plane and got the car, in his driveway, in 11 hours and that makes me a better person, it makes me work harder, it makes me not limit myself, so those are the things that rub off on me from him.’ It’s not the only request that Okele has had to deal with from Mayweather’s extravagant demands, as the fighter once turned up at the dealership at 2am – walking out with a Ferrari Enzo. ‘I got a call from overseas in the Middle East that there was a US- spec Enzo for sale, so I hopped on a plane and flew to Abu Dhabi. I then transacted the car and put it in a Boeing 777 passenger plane and flew it out of Abu Dhabi. ‘So Floyd came to the dealership and he kept coming and looking at the car. Then he came in one night around two in the morning and said, “Obi, I wanna buy two Ferrari 458s,” and that’s what he said. ‘Then I said OK, then he pauses for a minute and goes, “Obi, I’m not going to buy them 458s, I want to buy that Enzo and I want to buy it now. Lets go.”‘ Obi Okeke’s Bio Since the age of 4 years old, Obi has been enthralled with the automobile. When his parents sent him to school in Switzerland at the age of 13 years old, Obi knew that the automobile industry would be his life as he watched so many incredible cars carve there way up the mountain passes in the Swiss alps. His passion for cars led him on a journey managing Factory Authorized dealerships including Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW. With over 25 years in the Automobile Industry, obi posses the prowess to undertake any high-Level Complex Automobile transaction including large Automobile Collections, as he has accomplished many times over. His approach is fastidious, exercising confidentiality as required by each client, both here in the USA, and abroad. www.expressng.com/2015/04/how-floyd-mayweather-ordered-bugatti-in-12-hours-from-nigerian-dealer/

For a moment, I thought this guy ordered a car from a Nigerian dealer in NIGERIA. At least that's what the thread title seemed to convey. Good on Obi though. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Tuesday, 17 February 2015 at 09:51 World’s Richest Sportsman, Floyd Mayweather Buys $400k Rolls-Royce For 14-Year-Old Daughter Floyd Mayweather’s car collection is as luxurious as they come, with the boxer seemingly buying a new whip every other week or so. This time around, the champ bought an extravagant ride not for himself, but for his daughter, so that his 14-year-old can stunt just like her daddy. According to TMZ, Mayweather called up Fusion Luxury Motors around 2am a few days ago to order a white 2015 Rolls Royce Wraith, telling the luxury dealer that the ride would be for his ex, so that his daughter could “ride in style.” They immediately starting working on the ride and shipped it to Vegas later that day. “When his daughter and [the mother of his child] saw the car, they went nuts,” says Obi Okeke of Fusion Luxury Motors. “They were so appreciative and thankful.” www.aniomawatch..com/2015/02/worlds-richest-sportsman-floyd.html?m=1 |

I'm only imagining how much revenue Obi hammered on this sale. The beauty about dealing in super luxury goods is that you spend less energy on haggling prices. Just deliver the rich man's taste and he pushes the cash button! |
