Floyd Mayweather has fired back at Stephen A. Smith’s recent claims of his alleged financial troubles, asserting that he remains a titan of wealth and success. In a video that has taken social media by storm, Mayweather dismissed rumors of bankruptcy and showcased his extravagant lifestyle, stating, “People are always in my business,” and emphasizing that he is “Money Mayweather” for a reason.
The boxing legend, known for his lavish vacations and opulent possessions, revealed that he often takes “30 watches” on a month-long getaway and flaunted his $18 million timepiece as proof of his financial prowess. This display comes amid swirling allegations from Smith and others suggesting Mayweather is entangled in a $42 million financial scandal, raising eyebrows about the stability of his once-untouchable fortune.
Critics, including former fighter Chael Sonnen, have speculated that Mayweather’s return to the ring for exhibition matches could signal deeper financial woes, with suggestions that he may have squandered his earnings from a career that netted him over $800 million. The narrative is further fueled by jabs from Logan Paul, who humorously implied that Mayweather might be broke, casting doubt on the champion’s financial management.
Despite the uproar, Mayweather remains defiant, reiterating his commitment to building generational wealth for his family and brushing off the critics. “I make money all day,” he declared, while also addressing the delayed payments owed to Paul, downplaying the seriousness of the situation as part of the game.
As the fallout from these assertions continues, all eyes are on Mayweather—will he confront the mounting controversy head-on, or will the rumors of financial distress persist? One thing is clear: in the world of boxing, Mayweather’s name remains as polarizing as ever.
