The most expensive boxing championship belt is the WBC's Emerald Belt commissioned for US$1,000,000 (£657,251; €889,988) and awarded to Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (USA), who defeated Manny Pacquiao (Philippines) in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, on 2 May 2015.

The WBC offered fans the chance to vote as to whether they would like an Onyx or Emerald belt commissioned, with the Emerald version garnering 53% of the vote. The belt has 3,017 emeralds, 165 hand-painted flags, 800 grams of gold and uses the same leather used in Ferraris.
