Money Mayweather” in Trouble? Inside the Boxing Icon’s Mounting Financial and Legal Woes
Despite a legendary undefeated boxing career and a reputation for living an extravagant lifestyle, Floyd Mayweather Jr. — arguably the richest boxer of all time — now finds himself at the center of intense scrutiny over his post-boxing finances. Recent reports reveal a tangled web of debts, lawsuits, foreclosures, and legal battles that paint a far more complicated picture than the flashy wealth he regularly broadcasts on social media.
A Lifestyle Supported by Debt
Since retiring from professional fighting in 2017 with a perfect 50-0 record, Mayweather has cultivated an image of opulence — private jets, luxury cars, mansions and high-end real estate investments. But public records and investigative reporting suggest trouble beneath the surface: over the past two years, he has taken on millions in loans secured against his properties and assets, including his private jet and Las Vegas strip club, raising alarms about his actual liquidity.
In early 2024, Mayweather reportedly borrowed $54 million at nearly 9% interest from a specialty lender — a deal that used 14 properties, a strip club, and aircraft as collateral, meaning financial setbacks could jeopardize multiple assets simultaneously.
Foreclosures and Unpaid Taxes
Questions about Mayweather’s financial management are compounded by several public financial issues:
• A commercial property he bought in Las Vegas was foreclosed and sold at auction.
• Two condominiums were temporarily seized over unpaid property taxes.
• His strip club is reportedly at risk of seizure over a $52,000 tax bill.
• A small lien was placed on his mansion for unpaid trash fees.
While these sums may appear modest compared with a billionaire’s worth, the sheer number of liens and defaults has fueled speculation about deeper liquidity problems.
Lawsuits Allege Unpaid Bills and Debts
Mayweather’s business dealings have also landed him in a series of lawsuits:
• His aviation company was sued for over $136,000 in unpaid jet fuel and services.
• A Las Vegas car dealership sued him over $2.25 million in luxury vehicles he allegedly never paid for, sparking defamation and counter-suits.
• Reports link him to claims for unpaid bills for luxury items such as watches and jewelry.
In response, Mayweather has filed his own lawsuits in some disputes — for example, against the car dealer for allegedly failing to provide proper documentation on a vehicle.
Denials and Defamation Claims
Unsurprisingly, Mayweather and his legal team have denied that he is bankrupt or insolvent. He is currently suing Business Insider and a journalist for $100 million, claiming defamatory reporting about his finances and real estate dealings. His representatives contend many of these financial moves, such as borrowing against appreciated assets, are standard practice for wealthy individuals and not signs of distress.
In public statements, Mayweather has also dismissed bankruptcy rumors, insisting that he remains financially secure and that negative reporting is inaccurate or racially motivated.
Net Worth vs. Liquidity: What’s Really Going On?
Experts caution that wealth tied up in illiquid assets — like real estate — can create the appearance of financial strain even if an individual’s net worth remains high. Mayweather reportedly earned hundreds of millions during his boxing career and has continued to generate income from exhibition fights, endorsements, and business ventures.
However, creditors and legal filings suggest that cash flow issues, high leverage, and aggressive investment strategies may have put pressure on his finances, leading to the very real risk of asset seizures or legal judgments if debts aren’t resolved. 
What’s Next for Mayweather?
With his financial reputation under intense scrutiny and multiple legal fronts open, many are watching to see whether Mayweather will:
• continue to fight in high-profile exhibition bouts to generate income,
• settle or win the lawsuits against him, or
• restructure his real estate and business interests to stabilize his financial position.
For now, the debate over whether Mayweather is truly close to bankruptcy — or simply navigating a complex financial landscape behind the scenes — continues.
