Floyd Mayweather sued after flaunting cash on private jets while 'skipping rent on his $15million penthouse'
Floyd 'Money' Mayweather may have to drop the nickname.
The retired boxer, 48, is being sued by the owner of his luxury New York City condo for over $330,000 in unpaid rent and other damages.
Mayweather was renting the five-bedroom, five-bathroom duplex in the ultra-plush Baccarat Hotel and Residences from Miami-based entrepreneurs Leila and David Centner, who bought the $15million pad in 2016.
He signed a lease in December 2024 but he stopped paying rent in July 2025, according to a newly filed lawsuit.
During the months Mayweather was allegedly skipping rent, he was simultaneously posting pictures of himself on a private jet surrounded by stacks of cash with captions like, 'I just be minding my business!'
In another social media video from September 2025, he piled the stacks of cash into a plastic bag, saying, 'You know, people only talk about winners. I'm a winner. So, continue to talk.'
Realtor Rena Kliot, who is now relisting the apartment, told the Daily Mail it was his social media posts that incensed the owners.

Prior to the lawsuit, the owners tried to negotiate a settlement with Mayweather to pay what he owed plus damages by December 2025.
He only made one out of five payments owed, according to the lawsuit filed in New York state court.
At one point, the owners say they had to apply a portion of Mayweather's security deposit toward the unpaid rent.
Neither a representative for Mayweather nor his lawyer responded to a request for comment.
The condo he was renting spans the 18th and 19th floors of the Baccarat building on West 53rd Street in Manhattan.
Kliot plans to list it for sale between $22 million and $24 million, or it can be rented for $150,000 a month.
The unit spans 4,200 square feet and features an eat-in chef's kitchen and 3,100 square feet of outdoor space. The amenities include access to the Baccarat Hotel's services, including a fitness center, pool and concierge.
'This apartment is an absolute stunner, it's drop dead gorgeous,' Kliot said.

'It's a custom duplex with a wraparound balcony that is unlike anything you've ever seen.'
Baccarat Residences has sixty condos in total. The luxury units are perched above the Baccarat Hotel.
It's considered one of the most exclusive residential buildings in New York, with amenities that include the Baccarat Grand Salon and Bar and an upscale wellness center with a spa by La Mer.
Mayweather, who pulled in more than $1billion in his career, retired undefeated in 2017 with a 50-0 record.
According to sports business site Sportico, he was once considered the world's wealthiest boxer, and the 10th wealthiest athlete of all-time, but his money troubles have long haunted him.
'Money Mayweather,' as he calls himself, took out millions in mortgages on his homes in 2024, Business Insider reports.
He was also hit with numerous lawsuits and liens for a Mercedes Maybach G-Wagon, jet fuel, watches, jewelry, and garbage collection at his Las Vegas mansion, allegations he has disputed.
He even tried his hand at real estate, even launching his own real estate firm in 2024 called Vada Properties.
Residents of the building have access to all the amenities the hotel offers, including a spa and a pool

In the meantime, he sold Air Mayweather, his Gulfstream jet in December, along with his his mansions in Beverly Hills and Miami, reports BI, adding that in 2017, Mayweather had to fork over $22million in back taxes to the IRS.
Mayweather filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against Showtime Networks, saying he's owed hundreds of millions of dollars in fight earnings fraudulently diverted by the company to his former manager, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
The lawsuit, filed in California state court, accuses Showtime of participating in yearslong 'financial manipulation and self-dealing' by his ex-manager, Al Haymon, who he claims funneled fight revenues into secret accounts he didn't control.
Mayweather is seeking $340million for fraud.
