The essentials- Black flat brim cap, The Money Team written out in full
- Script lettering embroidered in white across the whole front panel
- Adjustable snap strap at the back, one adult size
- €49
On 26 August 2017 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather stopped Conor McGregor in the tenth and took his professional record to 50 wins, no defeats — past Rocky Marciano's 49-0, untouched since 1955. The night was billed as The Money Fight, after the team he had built around himself.
This cap carries that name in full. Where the rest of the range works with the three-letter mark, the front panel here is given over to the words themselves, embroidered from seam to seam.
What the script lettering gives you
The stroke is handwritten and the words interlock rather than stack: THE at the top left, TEAM running across, MONEY beneath, with a small star after TEAM. The whole thing fills the front panel edge to edge. At three metres you see a black cap with a broad white graphic; at one metre the three words separate out. White on black holds the reading to about five metres, where a tonal treatment asks you to come closer.
Snapback cut and adjustment
Structured crown that holds its shape when set down, flat brim delivered unbent, rear closure on plastic snaps. It adjusts position by position and stays where you put it, unlike a hook-and-loop strap that slackens with use.
Technical specifications
Worth knowing
Black and white pull the most out of each other, which is why this model exists in that combination alone. For the same brand across nine shades, the Mayweather TMT cap is the one to look at.
Worth a look
The Mayweather TMT cap carries the three-letter mark across nine colourways. The diamond version moves to a white ground with red lettering and a blue diamond, and the TMT gold cap takes an all-over printed ground. Everything sits in the boxing caps collection.
Frequently asked questions
Why is Floyd Mayweather called Money?
As an amateur he was Pretty Boy, because he came out of fights without a mark on his face. Money arrived with his professional career and his record purses. The Money Team, the group he built around himself, comes straight from that second nickname.
How many fights did Floyd Mayweather lose?
None. He finished his professional career at 50 wins and no defeats, 27 of them inside the distance, across five weight classes. The fiftieth was the McGregor fight on 26 August 2017.
How do you wear a flat brim cap?
As it comes, brim straight and parallel to the ground — that is the original snapback look. The sticker sometimes found on the brim comes off: it is there for shop-floor identification, not for style. If you prefer a slight curve, the brim shapes by hand over a few days of wear.
What size cap should I get?
One adult size with a snap closure, covering the large majority of head sizes. The detailed measuring method sits on the Mayweather TMT cap listing.
How do you wash a cap without losing its shape?
By hand, lukewarm water at 30 °C / 86 °F maximum, mild soap and a soft brush on the sweatband. Dry in the open air over something round to keep the crown volume. A machine drum and a tumble dryer both distort the brim.
Single colourway: add it straight to the basket.
