Floyd Mayweather Jr. is facing a lawsuit claiming the former boxer owes over half a million dollars after allegedly failing to pay rent.

According to a summons request obtained by PEOPLE, dated Jan. 8, 2026, the property owner alleges that Mayweather, 48, failed to pay rent for his Manhattan condo from July 2025 to November 2025. The lawsuit brought by Perpetual Love Investments, an LLC of Miami-based entrepreneurs and philanthropists Leila and David Centner claims Mayweather agreed to pay back a total debt of $515,834.25. However, he allegedly failed to do so by the agreed date of Dec. 2, 2025, the summons says.

Mayweather reportedly signed a $100,000-per-month lease in late 2024 for the 4,178-square-foot unit, the New York Post reported at the time. The outlet noted the apartment spans 18th and 19th floors of The Baccarat Hotel and Residences on West 53rd Street and features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. 

Leila tells Business Insider the couple bought two condos at The Baccarat in 2016 for $15.3 million and later combined them into one dwelling. 

Leila claims Mayweather began his lease by making timely and complete payments; however, by July 2025 he had stopped paying, she asserts. She allegedly spoke to him in December about the missed payments, but she claims he appeared unaware that he owed so much back rent.

"He was surprised," she says. "He had no idea he was that far behind."

The property owner claims Mayweather made one further $100,000 payment then simply disappeared, according to Business Insider. Additional attempts to contact him were unsuccessful, she claims. 

"He did say he'd pay, and then he disappeared. We don't know why," Leila says.

Rena Kliot, an agent with Pulse International Realty who will be relisting the property in the spring, says the owners were upset by Mayweather’s repeated posts on social media alongside stacks of cash, during the same period.

“He had this post he put up on Instagram with stacks of money in front of him, and they sent it to me and said, ‘Well how about using some of that money to pay us,’ ” Kliot told The Real Deal.

Kilot says she plans to relist the property for between $22 and $24 million, or for rent of $150,000 a month. 

The owners are seeking contract damages in the amount of $337,736.13, per the court document. Centner told Business Insider that the total represents the $500,000 in alleged missing payments, plus late fees as outlined in the lease, but subtracts the alleged $100,000 late payment and a security deposit submitted at the time of the agreement.
