Floyd Mayweather is facing a fresh wave of legal trouble after being named in three new lawsuits tied to alleged unpaid rent and outstanding jewelry bills totaling millions of dollars.
The filings add to a growing list of court disputes involving the retired boxing champion, who earned more than $1 billion during his undefeated career and has long been associated with a lavish, high-spending lifestyle.
One lawsuit centers on a luxury Manhattan duplex that Mayweather rented late last year. The 4,629-square-foot, two-level apartment sits atop the Baccarat Hotel and Residences in Midtown and reportedly carried a monthly rent of $100,000.
According to the complaint, Mayweather fell behind on payments for five months and later agreed to catch up, but only partially paid what was owed. The unit is owned by Leila and David Centner, Miami-based wellness and tech entrepreneurs who purchased and combined the condos in 2016.
Leila Centner told Business Insider that Mayweather appeared unaware of the extent of the arrears when she spoke with him in December. “He was surprised,” she said, adding that he “had no idea he was that far behind.”
Centner said Mayweather made one $100,000 payment but did not settle the remaining balance or respond to further attempts to reach him. The lawsuit seeks $337,736.13, accounting for unpaid rent, late fees, and credits for a security deposit and partial payment.
The other two lawsuits come from jewelers in Miami. AJ’s Jewelry filed a complaint alleging that Mayweather took possession of high-end watches and gold chains valued at approximately $1.675 million during two visits last August, agreeing to pay later.
The store claims Mayweather has paid only $300,000 of that total. “Because of the parties’ long-standing relationship and prior transactions,” the complaint states, the jeweler relied on Mayweather’s promises to pay in full.
The filing also alleges that five checks issued by Mayweather bounced between August and November.
In a separate case, jeweler Leonard Sulaymanov sued Mayweather and associate Jona Rechnitz in federal court, accusing them of failing to honor a settlement tied to $3.9 million in watches and jewelry.
Rechnitz, who is awaiting resentencing in an unrelated federal corruption case, has not responded publicly.
Mayweather’s legal activity hasn’t been limited to defense. Previously, he filed his own lawsuit against Showtime Networks and former executive Stephen Espinoza, seeking more than $340 million over what he claims were misappropriated earnings from past fights.
