However, Mayweather has now denied those rumours by revealing the price of the cap.
On his Instagram account, Mayweather said: “I don’t know who started the rumour that my hat was a million dollars. But it was $30,000. $30,000 is still a pricey number for a snap back.”
Mayweather has been known for splashing the cash having earned a huge amount of money throughout his illustrious career.

In his next exhibition fight against John Gatti III, Mayweather is expected to pocket a guaranteed seven-figure prize money.
The American has previously stated that he earns a huge $300 a month after YouTuber Jake Paul claimed Mayweather was ‘broke’.
At his first ballot induction after being named in the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Mayweather said: “I will continue to give back to the sport of boxing in my time, and I will also give back financially because I got it.
“To my team, my guys in New York, and my other real estate team that’s here today, we can’t be stopped. In 32 months, I put myself in a position with a smart business team to make $300m a month. It all started from the sport of boxing.”
