This is what they're fighting for -- in addition to the $400 million -- the official "Money Belt" ... and it's LOADED with gold and diamonds.
We spoke with a rep for the World Boxing Council (WBC) who tells us the belt was specially made for the McGregor vs. Mayweather fight -- and they spared no expense!

We're talkin' 1.5 kilograms of 24k gold (that's roughly 3.3 pounds).
3,360 diamonds placed throughout the piece -- with an additional 600 sapphires and 160 emeralds!
The strap is made from crocodile leather.
It's not the first high-priced belt the WBC has made for a Mayweather fight -- they commissioned a special "Emerald Belt" when Floyd fought Manny Pacquiao ... which was valued at $1 million!

Wait wait wait, so the WBC "Money Belt" doesn't have any dollar signs or dollar bills where the fighter's faces normally along the belt? SMH they could've at least been creative. It looks like any random WBC belt.

Like the WWE one?

Lmao, what a joke. It fits perfectly for this fight, a WWE belt for a WWE Circus fight, perfect.
I think in this case, at least I read, the WBC didn't butt in with a belt like they usually do but they were contacted by Mayweather's people to create a belt for the event.
