Floyd Mayweather is facing fresh legal trouble after a multimillion-dollar luxury car purchase turned into dueling lawsuits in Las Vegas.
Court filings show the retired boxing champion bought four high-end vehicles from Vegas Auto Gallery on July 3: a 2018 Mercedes-Maybach, a 2023 Ferrari, a 2023 Porsche, and a 2025 McLaren. The price of the deal was $2.25 million.
According to the complaint, Mayweather wrote two checks—one for $1.6 million and another for $650,000. Dealership owner Nick Dossa alleges Mayweather’s manager first asked him to wait until July 22 to deposit the checks, then later told him not to cash them at all. The suit claims Mayweather never intended to pay and bought the cars simply to showcase them online as part of his “Money Mayweather” persona.
In its filing, the dealership argued the boxer used the purchases as props for Instagram rather than genuine acquisitions. Mayweather’s lawyer, Vladimir Galstyan, said he could not comment on questions about the fighter’s financial standing.
Floyd Mayweather Sues Luxury Car Dealer
The boxer has faced previous legal disputes over money. Former dancers at his Las Vegas strip club, Girl Collection, have accused him of unpaid wages and physical misconduct. He has denied those claims, which are scheduled for trial next April.
Court records show Mayweather and the dealership reached a settlement on July 24. Under the agreement, Mayweather would keep the Mercedes-Maybach for $1.2 million and return the other vehicles. The dealer alleges he failed to make the required payment, even after negotiating a $20,000 extension.
Mayweather filed his own lawsuit Thursday, accusing the dealer of withholding key documents, including the vehicle title and odometer certification. Without them, he argued, registering or titling the Maybach was impossible, making the deal voidable. His complaint accused the dealership of fraudulent misrepresentation and nondisclosure.
Dossa’s attorney, Michael Cristalli, called Mayweather’s claims “frivolous” and dismissed the paperwork allegations as “ridiculous.”
The boxer has also taken the fight to social media, posting on Instagram that the dealership “does bad business” and warning followers to “be careful.” The dealer’s suit says the post was defamatory and claims Dossa has since received threats from Mayweather’s supporters.
For Mayweather, the battle over four luxury cars has become another high-profile fight—this time outside the ring.
