Reports suggest that Floyd Mayweather Jr. may be gearing up for a high-profile exhibition bout against KSI.
Although he retired from professional boxing seven years ago, Mayweather has stayed active in the exhibition scene. After the controversial clash with John Gotti III in 2023, the undefeated champion made a return in August 2024 for a rematch.
Given that he toyed around with his younger brother two years ago, KSI, reports suggest, has been eager to step into the ring with Mayweather Jr. Fans will have to wait to see if this match materializes. In the meantime, they can marvel at Mayweather’s accomplishments outside the ring. There’s a reason why the Olympic medal winner is known as ‘The Money’ Mayweather.

Despite retirement, he still remains the richest boxer in the world. Rumors surfaced suggesting that Mayweather Jr. might be facing financial difficulties. However, the former world champion’s recent moves suggest otherwise. When it comes to making money, he’s the best.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s story is legendary. Beginning with an Olympic bronze medal, the Grand Rapids-born boxer followed in the footsteps of his father and uncles. Soon he carved out a career that defined an era in boxing. Beyond defeating some of the sport’s biggest names, his unparalleled dedication earned him unprecedented wealth, making him not only the richest boxer but also one of the wealthiest athletes in history.
“But what if I told you there’s a new chapter, one where Money Mayweather isn’t throwing punches but making billion-dollar deals?” said the voice in the ‘Rich & Fabulous’ channel. Not long ago, reports suggested money gradually slipping out of ‘Money’ Mayweather’s hands. Fans may recall erstwhile friend 50 Cent‘s words. “I think he got to right now because the money’s gone,” said the ‘In Da Club’ singer while responding to a question about Mayweather Jr.’s potential return.
“Whispers echoed through the real estate world: Mayweather listed his $48 million Beverly Hills mansion, followed by his Las Vegas Palace at $12.5 million, and then that stunning $22 million waterfront mansion in Miami. Speculation ran wild: was the champ going broke?” revealed the celebrity news breaker.
But that’s not true, it seems. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is shifting his investments. He is transitioning from flashy homes to large, income-generating properties such as skyscrapers, office buildings, and affordable housing. His decisions were not driven by a need for cash but by a focus on more profitable investments.
“One of his crown jewels is a $10 billion stake in a prime office portfolio with 601 W companies. This isn’t just any real estate; we are talking about 18 buildings spanning 10 million square feet of prime urban property. Key investments include the Amazon-anchored 410 10th Avenue in Hudson Yards, New York, and the Aon Center in Chicago,” said ‘Rich & Fabulous’.
Prioritizing financial growth over appearances, Mayweather Jr.’s investments are not about showing off or being extravagant. Instead, they are smart, calculated decisions that focus on generating steady, reliable income every month. To some, his $42 million purchase of 60+ affordable housing buildings in New York City may appear a charitable cause. But, one should note, these investments generate consistent income and grow in value over time.
Take another example: the majority stake in the Versace mansion in Miami Beach. He’s not relying on luxury for show. Mayweather Jr.’s goal is to create steady cash flow and build wealth over the long term. His post-retirement journey underscores his ability to reinvent himself. Floyd Mayweather Jr. no longer throws punches, but he’s building an empire that could eclipse his boxing fortune.
