\"BoxingFloyd Mayweather. Image via: Sean M. Haffey\/ Getty Images Floyd Mayweather<\/a>\u2019s post-retirement life has not been as pleasant as expected. The undefeated champion is now facing multiple lawsuits tied to alleged unpaid rent and luxury jewelry transactions, which have placed scrutiny on his finances and business dealings. The legal actions arrive despite Mayweather\u2019s long-standing image as one of the highest-paid athletes in sports history.Court filings from New York and Florida outline claims involving a Manhattan luxury residence and high-value jewelry purchases. Together, the cases paint a detailed picture of contractual disputes that have escalated into formal litigation, with alleged unpaid amounts stretching well beyond six figures.<\/p>\n

Floyd Mayweather faces new legal trouble over unpaid rent and jewelry<\/p>\n

At the center of the dispute is a duplex apartment at the Baccarat Hotel and Residences in Midtown Manhattan. The 4,629-square-foot unit, spanning two floors, reportedly carried a monthly rent of $100,000. According to the lawsuit filed by property owners Leila and David Centner, Mayweather fell behind on payments for several months, per NY Post.Leila Centner told Business Insider that when she raised the issue with Mayweather in December, \u201cHe was surprised,\u201d adding that he \u201chad no idea he was that far behind.\u201d She said Mayweather made one $100,000 payment but failed to clear the remaining balance or respond to follow-up communication.The lawsuit seeks $337,736.13, a figure that includes unpaid rent, late fees, and adjustments for a security deposit and partial payment. Real estate agent Rena Kliot confirmed that the property has since been vacated and is expected to be re-listed for sale or rent in the coming months.Two additional lawsuits have emerged from Miami-based jewelers. AJ\u2019s Jewelry alleges that Mayweather took possession of luxury watches and gold chains worth approximately $1.675 million during two visits last August, agreeing to pay at a later date. According to the filing, only $300,000 was paid, and five checks issued between August and November allegedly bounced. In a separate federal case, jeweler Leonard Sulaymanov has accused Mayweather and associate Jona Rechnitz of failing to honor a settlement tied to $3.9 million in watches and jewelry, further complicating the boxer\u2019s growing list of financial disputes, per Complex.<\/p>\n

While defending himself in rent and jewelry disputes, Mayweather has also launched legal action of his own. The former champion filed a lawsuit against Showtime Networks and former executive Stephen Espinoza, seeking more than $340 million in alleged missing earnings.The complaint claims the funds were misappropriated through \u201ca long-running and elaborate scheme of financial fraud,\u201d involving hidden accounts and lack of transparency tied to Mayweather\u2019s biggest pay-per-view events. Mayweather says he is owed \u201cat least\u201d $340 million from his reported $1.2 billion in career fight purses.Showtime\u2019s parent company has denied the allegations, calling the claims without legal or factual merit.<\/p>\n
