Floyd Mayweather’s former Beverly Hills mansion returned to the market on Sept. 29, But there is more to the story, according to Homes of Celebs in a recent social media post.
Why Such a Loss?
The platform posted on Threads: “Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather sold his Beverly Hills mansion at the end of 2024 for $11.5 million—far below the $48 million price tag he once hoped for and a steep drop from the $25.5 million he originally paid in 2017. After Mayweather handed over the keys, the new owners quickly began renovations and have just relisted the property for $30 million leaving many to wonder if Floyd was in desperate need for cash.”
Mayweather’s financial and legal troubles have continued to mount as the boxing icon battles a growing list of lawsuits and criminal allegations. The undefeated champion is currently facing a $7.3 million federal tax lien from the IRS for unpaid taxes tied to the 2018 and 2023 tax years, adding to a series of high-profile disputes across the country.
In Las Vegas, Mayweather has been hit with two felony charges related to an alleged bounced $200,000 personal check written to a luxury jewelry store for a high-end watch purchased on New Year’s Eve 2024. He has also been sued by CSI Entertainment, which claims the former boxer breached a promotional contract after allegedly accepting millions for exhibition fight broadcast rights before pursuing a different bout overseas.
The Hall of Famer has also been tied to several civil disputes involving unpaid rent, private jet services, luxury lifestyle expenses, and a reported $1 million judgment for back child support.
At the same time, Mayweather has filed a $175 million fraud lawsuit against former associates, accusing them of orchestrating a years-long scheme involving jewelry sales, investment funds, and real estate deals. He is also pursuing a separate $340 million lawsuit against Showtime, alleging the network deprived him of hundreds of millions of dollars in earnings from his blockbuster pay-per-view fights.
Did Mayweather sell his Beverly Hills mansion to quickly raise cash? There’s no evidence confirming that. But the home has enough curb appeal to command a premium price.
The property at 917 N. Crescent Drive sits adjacent to the Beverly Hills Hotel. It was relisted for $38 million in January 2025 and removed from the market in early September. It returned on Sept. 29, 2025, for $32 million.
