Heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder wants to be the next Floyd Mayweather Jr. -- and already has a great a record, a title belt, and now he also has a baller exotic car to rival some of Floyd's.
Wilder's defending his PBC Heavyweight title Saturday night in Vegas, and sources close to the champ tell TMZ Sports he'll have a great prize waiting for him at home -- a brand new Lambo Aventador.
We're told Wilder dropped a grip of cash -- $560,000 to be precise -- on the 2015 whip, which retails for a paltry $398k. Wilder jacked up his price with some Alabama custom touches, like wrapping it in gator skin! Relax, it's not real gator ... just a print.
Wilder, known as the Bronze Bomber, also got Michael Koss at Exotic Euro Cars to slap on a coat of bronze. We're told Deontay bragged to Koss, he would knock out his Saturday night opponent, Johann Duhaupas.
It's a good bet. Deontay's 34-0 ... with 33 KOs!

Now you all realize why Wilder wont be fighting Povetkin anytime soon and will be feeding off more bums on PBC.
"The HW champ" is making good bucks fighting nobodies and you guys and specially Daddy Al pays him well.
This is an insane amount of money to be spend even for Wilder. I don't think people realize this is actually a huge part of what he earned.
How much did he really earned(prior to taxes, expenses,agents,trainer fees etc etc)? So far? 10 Million? And I'm guessing really high.
So say he earned 10 Million.
Tax/fees/expenses/trainers etc etc
He probably took home 4 of the 10 Million at best.
So even if he had NO OTHER EXPENSES.
That's 500,000 out of 4 million on a car.
And I don't even think he made 10 Million. That figure is probably guessing high.
What a typical ghetto thug idiot. After seeing the pic of that ridiculous looking car, his ' baby mama' is going to go straight to court and file papers for an increase in child support. Oh well, he did it to himself.
Wilder showing confidence in the future of the heavyweight division.
Pro-sports are great for luxury good makers. They can charge these dudes whatever they like because they haven't the sense to know when they're being robbed.
Shouldn't he be more concerned about ensuring he has enough medical care to support his sick daughter? Whatever, it's his money, but I just hoped he'd be a bit more frugal in his spendings considering his daughter's condition.
Article says Wilder wants to "emulate Mayweather".. Does that mean we've got another compulsive ducking @ss b*tch with a belt? You telling me he going to duck Wlad 4 times in a row like Floyd ducked Khan..
Any working person loses their "traditional" income when they retire which isn't the same thing as their source of income.
The point is that not all boxers/athletes end up broke and or punch drunk when they retire. That's a fact no matter how you look at it.
most working people don't retire in their 30's.
It looks cool to collect as like some Hotwheels collection as a toy version, but I wouldn't actually ride that thing to be honest. I agree it looks cool.

:lol1::lol1:
they all lose their traditional source of income. very few make an amount of money rivaling what they earn at their peaks after they finish boxing.
boxers are typically uneducated, particularly when you compare them with people who earn several hundered thousand or even millions each year. boxing doens't even have the loose scholastic backing you see in the four major sports, where a kid will end up leaving home and getting an education for a period of time before he starts to earn a ton of money.
the best athlete often go from hard times to millionaires in a few years in their youth. that's not an easy transition to make, and that's evidenced by the frequency of highly paid athletes, who should live out their lives as wealthy men, going broke.

If I was a poor kid, I can't say I wouldn't take the house.
Can you imagine, one day your in the projects, next day in a nice house.
I think it would be hard to say no in that case.
Definitely would be impossible to say no. I'm trying to remember the name of the boxer but can't right now.
Someone on on the forum posted his tweets of him thanking Haymon for putting him in his own home at like 19 or 20 years old or something.
