In a seismic move that surprised those of us in the combat sports industry, undefeated legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) has joined forces with premier combat equipment manufacturer Hayabusa for an explosive new gear collection that’s hit the market on January 6, 2025.
The collection, which marks Mayweather’s first major equipment partnership since hanging up the gloves, features a comprehensive range of boxing essentials that marry Hayabusa’s cutting-edge technology with the boxing IQ of arguably the greatest defensive fighter in history.
Headlining the collection is the Champ Boxing Gloves, retailing at $169.
These premium mitts pack Mayweather’s defensive genius into every stitch, featuring dual splintered support and a stretch wrist strap system that mirrors Money’s legendary punch precision. Available in six colorways, these gloves are positioned as the new gold standard for serious pugilists.
For fighters looking to build their arsenal without breaking the bank, the collection introduces the Contender Boxing Gloves at $59.99.
These gloves bring Money’s touch to the masses, incorporating multi-layered padding and thermal-regulating technology across three distinct colorways.
Perhaps the most intriguing addition is the Champ Boxing Shoes ($129), engineered with the footwork mastery that made Mayweather virtually untouchable in the squared circle.
The ultra-light design, coupled with responsive rubber soles and breathable mesh panels, promises to deliver the same quick-footed mobility that helped Money evade 26 years worth of power punches.
“This isn’t just another celebrity collaboration,” said a Hayabusa spokesperson. “This is about bringing championship-caliber equipment to every fighter who steps into the gym.”
The collection also features an extensive line of training accessories, including the Airstream Duffle Bag ($159), mesh gym bag ($99.99), and various hand wrap options, all bearing Mayweather’s championship pedigree.
For a fighter who made hundreds of millions by being virtually impossible to hit, this gear line appears laser-focused on helping the next generation master the sweet science with the same technical precision that made Money Mayweather a household name.
The Mayweather x Hayabusa collection launches January 6, available online through Amazon and Hayabusa direct. With Mayweather’s track record of success both in and out of the ring, don’t be surprised if these items sell out faster than his legendary pull counter.
