Floyd Mayweather’s Vehicles Destroyed; Hiring the Right Company

Undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather lost several luxury vehicles when an enclosed trailer transporting his Bentley, 2 Rolls Royces, and a custom Jeep Wrangler burned down to the ground after a truck fire destroyed the entire trailer.

Word is the truck was transporting Floyd’s autos from Las Vegas to Miami when something went wrong just outside of Phoenix, Arizona early morning on October 7th….and the entire unit went up in flames.

According to reports, Floyd used his personal car guy to have the vehicles transported, who turned out to be Obi Okeke of Fusion Luxury Motors.  Okeke is not licensed as an auto transport company (carrier or broker), but rather a car “dealer” (meaning he doesn’t personally own truck trailers for transport or even have a license for brokering to individual approved carriers, it’s likely he farms his transport loads out to individual carriers based on his choosing).  Word is there are whispers of arson but that’s clearly all speculation at this point, nothing has been confirmed to that end.

Lesson learned here–even if you’re as wealthy as “Money” Mayweather, it’s probably a good idea to hire an reputable licensed and bonded auto transport company to move your vehicles, instead of your “car guy”.  Hopefully Mr. Okeke did his due diligence when checking on the carrier’s excess cargo coverage (the amount that will cover vehicles in case of damage), or this could be very messy.  We’ll follow the story to see where it all ends up.
