Floyd Mayweather Jr. is once again in the spotlight, responding to skepticism surrounding his recent claims of real estate investments in New York City. The boxing legend recently posted a video on Instagram asserting that he had acquired six apartment buildings in Upper Manhattan, asserting that the properties were fully owned by him without any partners. His announcement came shortly after he purportedly invested in a $42 million portfolio of Manhattan apartments.
However, reports from Business Insider have cast doubt on Mayweather’s assertions. The publication stated that there is no evidence to support his claims regarding the ownership of the buildings, indicating that their ownership status remains unchanged and that they are not in Mayweather’s name. This discrepancy has raised questions about the authenticity of his financial dealings.
Mayweather’s foray into real estate follows a series of high-profile ventures, but this particular claim has drawn scrutiny, leading many to wonder why he would publicly assert such statements if they lacked foundation. The ongoing back-and-forth between Mayweather and rapper 50 Cent adds another layer to the narrative, as the two have a history of exchanging barbs, with 50 Cent recently questioning the legitimacy of Mayweather’s business ventures.
Despite the controversy, Mayweather continues to maintain his stance, urging critics to “respect my hustle.” The drama surrounding his claims highlights the intersection of celebrity, finance, and public perception, as fans and followers await further developments in this unfolding story. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how Mayweather will address the mounting skepticism and whether he will provide any concrete evidence to back his assertions.
