Floyd Mayweather hung up his gloves in 2017 after defeating Conor McGregor, yet eight years into retirement, he remains a regular fixture in the headlines.

Recently, rumors of bankruptcy began circulating, prompting “Money” Mayweather to shut them down immediately. Given that he reportedly earned over a billion dollars throughout his boxing career and various business ventures, the speculation came as a surprise. In typical fashion, Mayweather has been actively dismissing the rumors, most notably by flaunting his wealth across social media.

Earlier this month, he expanded his estimated $40 million car collection with several new additions. Among them was a custom-colored sports car he dubbed “Miami Dolphins” or “Tiffany Blue.” He also added a Ferrari 488 Spider and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The rarest within the new lineup was a limited edition Maybach Landaulet G-Wagon worth more than $1.2 million. “One of only 99 in the world,” noted his car dealer, Nick, who emphasized that it still had “delivery miles” on it. And that particular vehicle has since become a favorite of his, which has more than a couple of posts dedicated solely to it on his social media.

Just a few hours ago, Floyd Mayweather took to Instagram to share a video of himself captioned, “In my Maybach Landaulet G Wagon heading to @girlcollection.” In the clip, the 48-year-old can be seen relaxing in the back seat, dressed in a white tee paired with turquoise Louis Vuitton co-ords, black-rimmed glasses, and his Rolex GMT Master II. He appeared at ease, watching NBA highlights on the luxury car’s in-built entertainment screen.

Mayweather looked relaxed in his new ride, enjoying the highlights while cruising through the streets of Las Vegas. While some fans praised Mayweather for enjoying the rewards of his undefeated 50-0 career, others harshly criticized the 48-year-old for flaunting his wealth. However, if you know Mayweather, you’d know this isn’t something new.

Floyd Mayweather’s still flexing, but who’s impressed?

One user remarked that Floyd Mayweather still doesn’t seem fully accustomed to new money, suggesting he should learn how to be rich with more finesse. “We gotta teach Floyd how to look cooler he do fly shit but he gotta look more relaxed let it come natural champ ✊🏾💯,” the user commented. Others were far less forgiving, labeling him the “most overrated boxer of all time.” While acknowledging his defensive brilliance and unblemished 50-0 record, critics questioned whether he’s truly done enough to cement a meaningful legacy beyond the numbers.

Some responses took a more mocking tone, especially over the Instagram clips Mayweather posted of Roy Jones Jr. being knocked out. “I thought I was gonna see Roy Jones getting dropped,” one user quipped sarcastically. Meanwhile, another dismissed his antics as “so cringe sometimes.” Yet not all reactions were critical. Several fans were stunned by his sheer purchasing power, expressing admiration for everything he’s accomplished. “This is what money does,” wrote one. Others grew curious about his next moves, asking, “After you buy all the finer things, what’s the next mission with the money?”

However, Floyd Mayweather also faced backlash for not giving back as visibly as legends like Sugar Ray Leonard or Manny Pacquiao, with one user bluntly stating, “You need to donate to people in need instead, bro.” However, it’s worth noting that through the Floyd Mayweather Jr. Foundation, he has contributed to causes like Opportunity Village and the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth. On top of it, the foundation’s Fight4YourEducation program aims to motivate students year-round. “I want you all to grow up and be the best at what you do! Don’t focus on being the next Floyd Mayweather or anyone else,” he noted on his website.

Roy Jones Jr. likely never imagined he’d find himself feuding with someone eight years his junior after all these years.

Though comfortably retired, the four-division champion has stepped back into the spotlight to fire back at Floyd Mayweather.

“Floyd Mayweather was TBE at making money, but look at his highlights and look at mine,” Jones Jr. said in a 2018 interview. “You can’t pretend it’s the same. You can’t pretend there’s ever been anyone [who] came close to doing what I did.” If that earlier jab wasn’t enough, the 56-year-old’s stance hasn’t softened with time. “To me, people don’t give him enough credit. People always say ‘Well, Floyd would have beaten Sugar.’ No baby, Floyd is not nearly as mean as Sugar was,” Jones Jr. recently remarked while comparing Floyd Mayweather to Sugar Ray Leonard on the All The Smoke Fight podcast.

Money Mayweather’s response was anything but subtle. The undefeated boxing icon took to Instagram earlier this month, posting a series of clips showing Jones Jr. being knocked out by Glen Johnson, Antonio Tarver, and others, a clear dig at the former champion’s remarks. Jones Jr. fired back quickly, but the 50-0 boxer’s antics didn’t go unnoticed. Now, one of Roy Jones Jr.’s former opponents is stepping in with a sobering take on the escalating back-and-forth.

Yesterday, Seconds Out shared a YouTube video featuring a candid interview between Radio Raheem and Bernard Hopkins. When asked who would win in a hypothetical matchup between Roy Jones Jr. and Floyd Mayweather, ‘The Alien’ offered a measured take: “It all depends on who throws more punches.” Raheem then brought up the 48-year-old’s recent antics – sitting in front of a screen watching a reel of Jones Jr.’s knockout losses, and asked the 55-8 boxer whether he found it disrespectful. Hopkins replied, “I think it was more of a show of a man vulnerability at that moment when Roy was fighting, (Antonio)Tarver, I believe or Glenn Johnson.”

Reflecting on the moment, Hopkins shared a broader lesson he’s learned over the years: “I was a villain of it to put a man down when he is down at his side or when he is down by a punch.” Despite losing to Roy Jones Jr. in 1993 and failing to capture the vacant IBF World Middleweight title, Bernard Hopkins showed respect for his former rival. He praised Jones Jr.’s unique, almost unrepeatable style and stated, “If you look at Roy Jones’ defeats and you look at his longevity of victory, and very unorthodox unusual, probably never be again style that he had, I think that good of him in his era will always, always stands now, overshadows anything that what the opposite means—defeat. Roy Jones’ rewards and his victories supersede 10 times than his defeats.”

To close out the interview, Radio Raheem asked Hopkins what he would say if both Roy Jones Jr and Money Mayweather were in the room, listening to him. Hopkins didn’t hesitate: “Make sure you get paid if you fight.” And just like Bernard Hopkins, Oscar De La Hoya also weighed in on the matter.

Oscar De La Hoya breaks down the beef between Floyd Mayweather vs. Roy Jones Jr.

In a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, Oscar De La Hoya offered insight into the mindset of retired fighters and how that very mindset might be fueling the tension between Floyd Mayweather and Roy Jones Jr. When asked about the feud, given his own history with Mayweather, the Golden Boy head honcho dismissed any personal involvement. “No, I’m good with him. I have no business,” he said. “We see all these young kids fighting. So sometimes the emotions get in the way, you know.”

While De La Hoya chalked up the feud to post-retirement restlessness, he acknowledged that Roy Jones Jr. is known for speaking his mind. “He speaks the truth,” De La Hoya noted, while also pointing out that “Floyd is Floyd, and he’ll defend himself till the end.”  But while Oscar views the back-and-forth as harmless entertainment, Roy Jones Jr. clearly doesn’t see it that way.

After Floyd Mayweather mocked him on social media by sharing knockout clips, Jones Jr. initially brushed it off, asserting he was entitled to his opinion. But later, in a more pointed exchange with Seconds Out, the former champion revealed how personal things had become. “You wanna fight? Come on. I ain’t tripping. You wanna troll me, come see me,” he said defiantly. While the odds of the two actually stepping into the ring are slim, especially with the weight gap, boxing has a way of turning long shots into headlines.

Back in March, Daniel Geiger of Business Insider made a report that a real estate investment boxing legend Floyd Mayweather had allegedly made in New York City, which Mayweather claimed cost $402 million, never actually occurred.

As a result, Mayweather hit Business Insider with a $100 million lawsuit for defamation and denied the report’s validity.

In the aftermath of this, a YouTube account called Fighters Corner published a video titled, “Stephen A Smith EXPOSES Floyd Mayweather For Going BANKRUPT After $402 Million SCAM”. The video went viral (despite not actually having Smith speaking about Mayweather), and made many wonder whether Mayweather was broke.

Mayweather has since spoken out about this, calling out anybody who claims that he’s broke or tries to discredit the amount of money he has in his bank account (which made Teofimo Lopez say, ‘I ain’t never seen numbers like that in my life!’ when he saw it).

But Mayweather isn’t relying on others to talk about how much money he still has. He took that upon himself with a July 4 Instagram video that showed him walking around a supercar dealership and showing off four cars that he said he had just purchased.

The post is captioned, “When y’all make another video about me being broke, make sure you include this footage.”

After showing the first three cars (which look to be a McLaren, a Porsche, and a Ferrari), Mayweather heads outside to flex a Mercedes-Benz sedan, of which only 99 exist in the world. This was the final supercar that Mayweather said he had purchased.

Mayweather earned his “Money” nickname for the staggering amount of money he earned during his iconic, undefeated professional boxing career. And he clearly wanted to make it knows that he’s still got enough of that money to make purchases like these cars.
