He may not be nearly as flash or as brash as his upcoming opponent Floyd Mayweather, but the understated Manny Pacquiao has made a big splash in purchasing his new home.

Clearly wanting to enjoy the utmost luxury in the lead up to his mega fight with Mayweather on May 2, Pacquiao has been quick to spend some of the cash he is to earn from the bout on a lavish property.

Boasting seven bedrooms and eight baths, Pacquiao’s new mansion was previously owned by famous pop star and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.

A grand two story entrance gives way to a master suite with his-and-her bathrooms – the ‘her’ side having a steam shower, spa bathtub and two huge walk-in closets.

The below photos from Nelson Shelton and Associates gives a pretty good idea of just how magnificent the property is.

At 10,000 square feet, the mansion had a listing price of $12.5 million (£7.8m) with Pacquiao making quite a step up from his previous $2.7m property in Los Angeles.

As TMZ has reported, "Manny's in such a rush, he worked out a deal to get the house fully furnished with the furniture, art and appliances that are currently inside the place.

How will the notoriously flash Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather react to this from his big rival? Well, as followers of his Instagram feed, we think he will comfortably find a way of upping the stakes.
