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.

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.

It will not be economically possible to order such category of cars from Nigeria to USA@the time being because of the financial dynamics involved

sorry Oga, Op really had to stress the "Nigerian" origin of dealer OBI. It's not always we get good popular representation out there.

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.”

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!

Is he the World's richest sportsman or the highest paid sportsman? There's a difference between the two oh.

When you have cash like Mayweather, I don't think financial dynamics come into play too often
