Floyd Mayweather Jr., the boxing champion who could dodge punches like nobody’s business, apparently couldn’t dodge his way out of a car dealership faux pas.  Even though he’s retired from boxing (except for that whole “exhibition match” with McGregor), Floyd’s still a fixture in the fight game, reminding everyone he’s undefeated and filthy rich.

This dude’s a walking money machine – literally exceeding the billion-dollar mark in earnings. So, naturally, he surrounds himself with the finer things in life: Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, Lamborghinis – you name the brand, Floyd’s probably got the keys (or at least used to). But there’s one prestigious car company that’s thrown a left hook at Floyd’s automotive dreams: Bugatti.

See, Floyd was a big spender at Bugatti, a real VIP customer. But things went south faster than a bad right hook when Bugatti discovered Floyd flipped a black Bugatti Veyron for way more than the sticker price of a brand new one – just because he’d driven it.  Apparently, reselling a car with a celebrity mark-up wasn’t part of the Bugatti VIP package.  The company wasn’t having it, and Floyd got blacklisted faster than a fighter who forgot to make weight.

So, Floyd might be retired from the ring, but it seems the battle for Bugatti bragging rights is a fight he lost.  But hey, at least he’s got a garage full of other luxury cars to keep him company (and a bank account that probably doesn’t even care).

Undefeated former professional boxer Floyd Mayweather visited a Jewish summer camp in Glen Spey, New York, last week that is organized for children battling cancer and chronic illnesses.

The retired 50-0 boxing champion, 47, stopped by Chai Lifeline’s Camp Simcha and put on a boxing demonstration in a specially built ring that featured the message “Knock out cancer.” He also trained with kids at the camp and even helped campers lace up their boxing gloves before entering the ring.

Chai Lifeline shared a video from Mayweather’s visit to the camp, which serves 480 children every summer, and said he also gave “motivational talks” and “engaged in activities that lifted the spirits of the brave children.”

“This is by far one of the best camps in the world,” Mayweather said at one of the activities he participated in while visiting the camp on July 31. “This is an unbelievable camp. I hear about this camp all the time. There is nothing like the bond that you guys have … I’m proud of you all.”

“I want everybody in this room to stay positive, have great energy,” he added. “These special children need our support, need our help. We need to stand behind them and help them and let them know that they’re great and they can do anything. Anything is possible.”

Rabbi Simcha Scholar, CEO of Chai Lifeline, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Floyd Mayweather to Camp Simcha. Our children are fighters in their own right, battling illness year-round. Floyd’s visit was truly special and inspiring for them. He is a champion both in and out of the ring, and we thank him for giving our campers an experience they will never forget.”

After the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks in southern Israel, Mayweather used his private jet to deliver food, bulletproof vests for Israel Defense Force (IDF) soldiers, medical equipment, and other supplies to Israel. He expressed solidarity with Israel in the aftermath of the Hamas attacks and has also donated a fleet of “medicycles” to Magen David Adom, Israel’s national ambulance and disaster-relief organization.

The former boxer visited the Jewish state in November 2022 and also earlier this year, when he received the Champion for Israel award at the Dan Family Aish World Center in Jerusalem for supporting Israel and speaking out against hate and antisemitism. He was also awarded the Lifesaving Award from United Hatzalah, Israel’s volunteer-based medical emergency organization, for his delivery of equipment to help Israel during the ongoing war with Hamas.

EDDIE HEARN has raised doubts over Floyd Mayweather’s fortune.

Mayweather affectionately nicknamed himself Money throughout his career and perhaps it was appropriate due to his sensational earnings.

He topped Forbes’ rich list of the decade in 2019 with over £700MILLION made in the ring.

But Mayweather has been plagued with allegations of blowing through his wealth in retirement.

And his recent series of exhibition bouts against stars of the boxing, MMA and social media world have not helped dispel the claims.

Even British promoter Hearn has questioned Mayweather’s fortune and decision to carry on boxing.

He said on GRM Daily: “I don’t think he’s got the money he says, that’s what I think.

“I don’t think he needs the money but you know when you’ve got that lifestyle, when he’s spending what he spending.”

Mayweather, 47, officially retired in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 36, in a crossover bout believed to have earned him £300m alone.

But he has continued to box in exhibitions since, most recently last June against the grandson of notorious crime boss John Gotti.

The American boxer once again demonstrated his great boxing knowledge

The bout that took place this Saturday, August 3 in Los Angeles during the so-called Riyadh Season Card allowed Floyd Mayweather to increase his bank balance by $34,500 after predicting two of the results of the fights.

The five-time world champion’s business acumen earned him that haul when he predicted the loss of ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, who was the heavy favorite against Jose Valenzuela, and the draw between Andy Ruiz Jr. and Jarrell Miller.

As soon as the night’s main bout was over, Floyd Mayweather used Instagram to boast about his successes and show the results of his bets, which he accompanied with the caption: “If you know, you know.”

In the central fight of the night, Valenzuela was a clear underdog in the betting, which he was given a +455 odds, which Mayweather took advantage of to bet $5,000 on his victory, which determined a profit of $22,750.

That bet just goes to show how risky Mayweather is when it comes to betting and how much knowledge he has of boxing. But his ‘adventure’ in betting did not stop there, he decided to put another $5,000 predicting that Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Jarrell Miller would end in a draw, as it was, in a bet that had odds of +235. That draw brought him $11,750 in profit.

Following the knockout win over Conor McGregor back in 2017, Floyd Mayweather Jr transitioned from high-level opposition to younger, more vigorous challenges that keep him active and keeps his paychecks rolling. Mayweather has tangled with Japanese kickboxing star Tenhsin Nasukawa, UK reality star Aaron Chamers, YouTube sensation turned WWE superstar Logan Paul, and now, John Gotti III, grandson to the notorious mob boss.

‘Money’ Mayweather is nearing 50, but he lives a clean lifestyle. The 50-0 pro boxer has a legendary training regimen that he acquired from being inside boxing gyms since he was a youngster watching his father Floyd Sr and uncle Roger Mayweather fight professionally at a respectable level. Boxing is ingrained in Mayweather’s DNA.

And he may continue to fight these big budget exhibition matches well into his 50s, according to the President of The Money Team, James McNair.

Midtown’s beloved restaurant made ready to rumble a grand affair

We were ready to rumble in the most delicious way.

Hunt & Fish Club in Manhattan this week hosted a rather epic match off before the big night between Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III.

The luxurious Midtown dining hotspot owned by Nelson Braff and Eytan Sugarman took the spotlight during the history-making fight announcement. At the starry affair was also John Gotti Jr who came out to support and help bounce off the fighting words of Mayweather.

When the public hears the name John Gotti they may remember the infamous mob boss from the 1980s, but that surname has a new meaning in 2024. Grandson to the feared mafioso frontman, John Gotti III chose an alternative type of violence, which found him entering a local MMA promotion on Long Island, NY about 10 years ago.

Since turning pro in 2017, Gotti III has always been in the spotlight in the local fight scene, but after jumping in the ring with one of the greatest boxers of all-time, Floyd Mayweather Jr, last year, the Gotti name became a topic of conversation once again. The 31-year-old New Yorker was outgunned in the first fight but believes he has fixed his weaknesses. The first fight was heavily in favor of Mayweather Jr, but the fight will be remembered for having high emotions that resulted in a brawl.

This one hits close to home

Floyd Mayweather comes from a boxing family, and those genes have played a significant role in making him a boxing icon. Mayweather‘s father — also named Floyd — was a welterweight fighter in the 1970s and the 1980s, winning 28 of his 35 bouts and passing on a wealth of knowledge to his son.

Floyd Jr. boxed competitively for two decades, taking part in 50 fights — all of which he won, 27 of them. The Mayweather name is one of the most storied in the sport’s lengthy history, spanning generations of boxing. And Money, now a proud grandfather at 47 years old, is taking steps to ensure that the Mayweather name never leaves fans’ minds.

Meet Meezy

Mayweather’s two-year-old grandson, Meezy, is already following the path toward a future in boxing. The son of Mayweather’s daughter Yaya and star rapper NBA Youngboy, Meezy recently donned a pair of boxing gloves and showed his famous grandpa that the 2030s could be another golden decade for the Mayweather family.

Meezy has even been in the ring already, shadowboxing from a safe distance, with plans maybe already being made for him to join Floyd Sr., Floyd Jr. and great-granduncle Roger Mayweather in pro boxing someday

Pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford is on a stunning knockout streak.

The former three-weight world champion has stopped his last 11 opponents stretching back to 2016.

To make the feat even more impressive, every single one of those wins came in a world title fight.

Crawford kicked off his impressive run by finishing John Molina Jr inside eight rounds in December 2016 to retain his WBC and WBO light-welterweight belts.

The likes of Amir Khan, Kell Brook, and Shawn Porter fell to him in the following years as he picked up all the major sanctioning body belts at 140lbs.

Crawford then went on to cement his legacy as an all-time great by knocking out Errol Spence 10 months ago to become undisputed champion at welterweight.

This marked the first time a male fighter had been crowned a two-weight undisputed champion in the four-belt era – although Naoya Inoue and Oleksandr Usyk have since followed suit.

‘Bud’ is now 40-0 as a pro and is quickly closing in on Floyd Mayweather’s unblemished 50-0 record.

‘TBE’ won world titles in five different weight classes but never achieved undisputed status during his 21-year stint in the paid ranks.

The closest Mayweather came to unifying all the belts was in 2015 when he defeated Manny Pacquiao for the WBC, WBA, and WBO welterweight titles.

However, Mayweather refused to pay a sanctioning fee to the WBO after the fight and was subsequently stripped of their version of the world title.

Crawford is looking to further close the gap on Mayweather’s legacy by going for his fourth world title this weekend.
