Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather‘s run on buying real estate continued on Tuesday, putting pen to paper to purchase a building in Midtown Manhattan along Sixth Avenue that stretches almost a quarter of a block.

The building on the southeast corner of the intersection at 47th Street contains offices, a few jewelry storefronts, and a large billboard.

Mayweather became interested in the property, which he is paying $20million for, due to his past spending at lavish stores along the block, per TMZ.

The property is in an attractive part of New York City, a few minutes east of Broadway and three blocks south of Radio City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center.

‘I used to shop in the diamond exchange as a young adult,’ Mayweather told the outlet. ‘I never thought I would end up owning this important property at the entrance of 47th street.’

‘Through hard work and dedication anything is possible.’

In October, Floyd’s real estate spre

Last month, he bought the Versace Mansion in Miami.

Mayweather’s net worth is valued at $1.5billion, with his real estate investments not only giving him a path to make more money, but to keep his personal brand front and center.

Mayweather has not fought since a 2017 knockout of Conor McGregor, with him considered arguably the best defensive boxer in history.

Now, it is only a question of how many more pieces of real estate Mayweather wants to acquire.

e began, purchasing 60 buildings in New York City worth more than $400million.

Floyd Mayweather—the real estate mogul. You might not associate the American boxer with strategic investment and a well-thought-out investment amid his popular cash-splashing image. But that’s not the case. The American boxer is becoming one of the biggest names in Manhattan’s real estate world, and he took another step towards it when he made a $20 million investment on Christmas Eve.

The TMZ reported that Mayweather, 47, bought a $20 million-worth corner unit on 6th Avenue (and 47th Street) in Manhattan. Why did he buy it? Two reasons. One, the former world champion, used to visit it during his young adulthood days for lavish shopping and has some fond memories attached to it. Second, the unit comes as a whole package, which includes offices, a diamond exchange, and a large billboard. You can expect him to put it to good use and add more balance to his already heavy bank balance.

‘Money’ declared in a statement, “I used to shop in the diamond exchange as a young adult. I never thought I would end up owning this important property at the entrance of 47th Street.”

You might recall this comes after he invested $402 million in a deal in November that helped him secure over 60 buildings in New York, through which he would provide affordable housing to struggling families. “Growing up, I used to dream about owning just one home by myself. When you work hard, you can achieve anything,” he said while securing the deal.

Mayweather even recently became a partner with Go Partners and invested $100 million in equity in partnership with them. The reason? To invest in a $3B portfolio. For that, he founded Vada Properties, his new firm focusing on this high-end deal. It seems he is ready to take the real estate world with his acumen and tactics, just like he did in the squared circle before that.

What do you make of this latest investment by Floyd Mayweather on Christmas Eve? Do you think it’s a worthwhile investment? Let us know in the comments below.

The boxer will face ex soccer player Rio Ferdinand in Dubai around March

The arguably best boxer of all time, Floyd Mayweather, is expected to return to the ring one year after since his last fight, when he beat John Gotti for the third time in June 2023.

That event was meant to be Floyd’s last fight, but now, he apparently is expected to come back for an exhibition match. His rival, ex soccer player and Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand.

Back on track

This clash will take place in Dubai and the date is said to be in March, probably on the 16th.

Since his retirement from soccer, Rio Ferdinand has been collaborating with multiple TV and sports shows, showing his knowledge and experience on the game. This jump to boxing is as new as unexpected. He has done boxing before but not more than training sessions.

Mayweather on the other side, has enjoyed his absence from the boxing world by spending the money he has earned. Fully deserved, he is now living a lifestyle that not everybody can reach. Surely he wants to be back at training.

This is still an idea as there is not much about it yet, nevertheless, is something that both parties want to do and is just a matter of time for it to be confirmed.

People sell cars all the time. And most of us mere mortals accept a loss on a used car. Celebrities, on the other hand, can slap their name on a ride and sometimes turn a profit. Who can blame them? Apparently, Bugatti can. Rumor has it Floyd “Money” Mayweather got blacklisted from buying new Bugattis because he flipped at least one of his ultra-rare Veyrons. Here’s how it all went down.

2011-2015: Floyd Mayweather’s Bugattis arrive

Mayweather bought two Bugatti Veyrons: a 2011 Grand Sport and a 2015 Grand Sport Vitesse. The combined price? Well north of $6 million. (Source: The Drive). This is in-line with his claim of buying two of every supercar, a white ones for his Vegas house, a black ones for his LA house. “Money” indeed.

2017: Time to flip

Mayweather listed both Bugattis for sale through Luxury Auto Collection. The 2011 Grand Sport was priced at $2.45 million. The 2015 Vitesse, which he reportedly bought for $3.5 million, went up for $3.95 million. (Source: The Drive, Men’s Health)

2018: No takers? No new Bugatti for Mayweather

Mayweather struggled to sell his 2015 Veyron at auction, dropping the price to $2.3 million, still above its fair market value. He was visibly upset it didn’t sell and told press he was trying to buy the new Bugatti (Bugatti Chiron). But around this time, rumors swirled that Bugatti had blacklisted him for reselling his cars at a profit. (Source: Daily Mail, Marca.com)

2019: Another Veyron sale

Mayweather sold a Grand Sport to rapper Lil Uzi Vert for $1.7 million. This was much less than Mayweather originally paid—$3.3 million—but still marked him as someone who regularly offloaded Bugattis. (Source: TMZ)

2024: Mayweather still holding onto at least one Bugatti

While covering a breach-of-contract lawsuit, Yahoo Autos revealed the court was considering confiscating Mayweather’s remaining Bugatti Veryon. If true, this means he still owned one in November 2024, and has been unable to upgrade to a Chiron. (Source: Yahoo Autos)

Blacklists: Fact or Fiction?

Bugatti won’t confirm if Mayweather is actually banned, which is par for the course. Automakers rarely announce bans unless they’re as notoriously petty as Ferrari. Even the infamous Tom Cruise “Bugatti ban” is likely exaggerated. Yet with Bugatti’s long waitlists and so few used cars on the market, even a “soft ban” could make buying a new Bugatti nearly impossible. That’s because you need to remain in the company’s good graces to get a build slot.

Mayweather is a legend with deep pockets, but his flipping habit could clash with Bugatti’s exclusivity culture. The brand might see him as a liability. Then again, who wouldn’t want Floyd “Money” Mayweather flashing their car on Instagram? If you were Bugatti, would you risk it? Or keep him off the list?

A landmarked, $49.5 million Gilded Age mansion in the heart of Manhattan has caught the eye of famed boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr.

After recently touring the city’s most expensive rental, as Gimme Shelter exclusively reported — a $150,000-a-month Soho penthouse owned by former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick — Mayweather has moved his house hunt to Midtown, we can reveal.

The retired boxing champ, who boasts 30 million followers on social media, is also a real estate investor whose massive portfolio includes 1,000 units of affordable housing, as well as luxury assets in the city.

He was recently spotted looking at 9 W. 54th St., a 50-foot-wide brick and limestone mansion off of Fifth Avenue, across the street from the Museum of Modern Art. The mansion is a combination of two separate townhouses.

The current seller bought the building for $55 million in 2019.

The property was built in 1898 for JP Morgan’s cousin and business partner, James Goodwin. It was designed by the famed architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, whose other landmarks include the University Club of New York, the original Penn Station, the Brooklyn Museum, the New York Public Library and the main campus of Columbia University.

The five-story neo-Georgian pad comes with 11 bedrooms.

Original details include 12 fireplaces, hand-crafted woodwork and millwork, multiple columns, wood floors and stained glass. There’s also a walk-in safe for the original owners’ silver in the octagonal dining room and a 17-foot-deep bank vault with bullet-proof windows, as the building also once served as headquarters for the US Trust Company.

It is currently zoned for mixed use, so it can serve as an office, a gallery, a private club or an embassy — otherwise, it can be transformed back into its original single-family mansion status, the listing notes.

It all opens with a wood-paneled entry gallery, a library, a reception room and other great spaces. Two staircases, with original skylights above, lead to a parlor floor with ceilings just under 14 feet high. Two large rooms here have floor-to-ceiling windows, along with five Juliet balconies with “tree-lined street views” of MoMA’s sculpture garden. There’s also a library, a butler’s pantry in the dining room and a glass conservatory overlooking a garden.

Floyd Mayweather earned roughly $3.3 million per minute for a quick night’s work after his career had ended.

Mayweather pocketed a mammoth $1.2 billion in estimated earnings from his professional boxing career, where he retired as a true icon with 50 wins undefeated.

Some of his biggest nights saw him generate obscene revenue, setting up a generational worth for himself fighting the likes of Manny Pacquiao in 2014 and Conor McGregor in 2017.

He eventually hung up his gloves after battering Irish UFC superstar McGregor in 2017, with many expecting he would indeed leave the sport behind.

But Mayweather was always hungry for more, and although his professional career was over, ‘TBE’ decided there was still a route to making money.

His first exhibition came in 2018 when he took on Japanese star Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan where he earned a big purse.

In 2021, Mayweather took on Logan Paul where he earned a guaranteed $30 million for an unscored exhibition.

In his third non-professional encounter that year, he defeated Don Moore.

But the American landed a second staggering exhibition for another appearance in Japan, having been approached by promotion RIZIN.

Bu it was upon discovering the purse he would receive that sent the boxing world into a frenzy.

He had managed to negotiate $20 million for his latest comeback appearance, a staggering fee given he wouldn’t even risk his perfect record.

It was expected he would breeze past his Japanese opponent, given his sensational talent and natural ability, despite being past his prime years at the age of 45.

A huge crowd packed into the venue in Saitama, a sign that star power and a chance to see the legend in action alone would still see him pick up purses.

Mayweather was under an illusion it would be routine, but he was caught by a surprising hand in a fast-paced opening round.

It was a big shot, and a big shock that he had been clipped, given his defensive skills were nothing short of perfect throughout his career.

But that was the one and only time of real adversity as he rallied in the short format and began to show his true class.

And he earned his money and impressed the crowd in the second round as he upped the tempo and began landing at will.

The final seconds of the second period ticked away, but the breakthrough moment came.

Mayweather landed a left hand which shook his opponent’s boots but he shook his head.

Although just before the bell sounded, the former five-weight world champion unleashed a booming right hook.

It found the target and sent Asakura on to the canvas on the seat of his shorts, and the fight was quickly stopped.

It saw him earn a mind-blowing $3.3 million per minute of action, but it was little surprise to his team who had helped him reach that position.

Before Conor McGregor lost the high-profile civil lawsuit in the Dublin High Court, he was supposed to face Michael Chandler. After the court proceedings, he was rumored to face featherweight king Ilia Topuria in his return. Now, the͏ former du͏al-͏wei͏ght ch͏ampion ͏pu͏t an e͏͏͏nd to the spe͏culation when he a͏nnounced he wo͏ul͏d be c͏lashing w͏͏i͏th the m͏averick Logan ͏Paul in Ind͏ia someti͏me ͏next ͏year. Thi͏s revelation sent shockwaves thr͏o͏ugh th͏e M͏M͏A co͏mmunit͏͏y, as͏ ͏fans͏ ͏had͏ ͏long b͏een a͏ntici͏pati͏ng M͏c͏Greg͏or’s r͏et͏u͏rn to co͏m͏petition in MMA. Neve͏rthe͏less, th͏is͏ w͏i͏͏͏ll͏ m͏ark McGregor’s ͏sec͏ond box͏in͏g ͏e͏n͏deav͏or, f͏ollowing his͏ lo͏ss to Floyd M͏ayweather, however the fight with Paul will be an exhibition bout. ͏’Money’ M͏ay͏w͏eat͏her def͏eate͏d M͏cGr͏ego͏r͏͏ via technic͏al kno͏c͏k͏o͏ut, and y͏ears afte͏r thei͏r fight, Stephen A. Smith ͏revealed the se͏cret behind the͏ kno͏ckout.

While having a conversation with ESPN and Shannon Sharpe, Stephen A. Smith revealed the art of boxing used by Floyd Mayweather to knock out Conor McGregor back in 2018, “Floyd Mayweather told me this. He was in the preview of the fight to Conor McGregor. I never forget this. I go interview Floyd “Money” Mayweather for ABC. He says, ‘Stephen A, he don’t stand a chance. I’m going to keep him around’, and he told me everything that was going to happen.”

He further added, “He says, ‘I’m going to stay right in his chest.’ I said, ‘What are you talking about? You don’t do that with anybody.’ He said, ‘With him, I’m going to. He’s a striker, he’s used to clipping people. I’m going to be in his chest, he’s going to have to push me off and then swing. Plus, he’s going to have to circle around backwards to gain leverage to punch. By about the third or fourth round, his legs are going to be gone, and he’ll be target practice. I’ll keep him around until like the eighth or ninth round for entertainment purposes, and then I’ll finish him.’ And that’s exactly what Floyd did.

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor fought for 10 rounds out of 12 on August͏ 26th, 2017. ‘The Notorious’ started strong, but Mayweather’s experience as well as his gas tank helped him to slow McGregor down in the later rounds. Mayweather͏ secured a TKO vict͏ory in the 10th round, maintaining his unde͏fe͏ated͏ record and improving͏ to 50-0. Regardless, Mayweather was a seasoned boxer but what about Logan Paul? Can he defeat McGregor? Stephan A. Smith had an answer to that question as well.

Stephen A. Smith revealed his winner for Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul match

Who do you think will get the victory between Conor McGregor and Logan Paul? Well, according to Smith, even though Conor McGregor has more fighting experience, it will be Logan Paul, who will get the victory. Arguing his stance at the ESPN Stephan stated, “I think Logan Paul is going to beat him. Logan Paul is going to win because I don’t think Conor is a boxer; he’s a striker.”

He further added, “He’s just sitting up there, not even throwing. You ain’t clipping Logan Paul like that. No, you have to do more than that.” He further added, “I just think that Logan Paul is bigger. Um, he’s a much bigger man, and he’s a more experienced boxer.” It’s a valid point, considering Conor McGregor stands at 5 ft 8 inches (173 cm), while Logan Paul is significantly taller, measuring 6 ft 2 inches (188 cm).
