Oscar De La Hoya Drops Bombshell: Claims Floyd Mayweather Is ‘Going Broke’ Despite Billion-Dollar Fortune
Floyd “Money” Mayweather, long celebrated as one of the wealthiest athletes in history, may not be as financially secure as everyone thinks—according to a shocking revelation by fellow boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya. Known for his opulent lifestyle, including private jets, multi-million-dollar mansions, and a luxury car collection that would make anyone’s jaw drop, Mayweather has built a brand around wealth. But could all of that be at risk?
In a recent interview that sent the boxing world into a frenzy, De La Hoya suggested that Mayweather’s fortune might be on shaky ground. The former rival claimed, “He’s going broke,” sparking widespread speculation about the undefeated champion’s financial health. Could Mayweather, the man who has raked in over $1 billion throughout his career, actually be facing financial ruin?
The timing of this bombshell couldn’t be more surprising, as Mayweather’s career earnings from historic bouts, including his $250 million payday against Manny Pacquiao and a $300 million purse from his fight with UFC star Conor McGregor, solidified his reputation as the ultimate cash king of sports. But as the saying goes, “More money, more problems.”
De La Hoya’s remarks have ignited fresh debate, raising questions about whether Mayweather’s famously lavish spending habits are starting to catch up with him. The boxer, notorious for flaunting his wealth with stacks of cash and luxury vacations, may be burning through his fortune faster than he can replenish it.
“He’s living a lifestyle that most people can’t even imagine,” De La Hoya said. “But when you’re spending millions every year on mansions, cars, private jets, and a massive entourage, even a billion dollars can run out.”
Mayweather, who has always prided himself on being financially independent, continues to make money through Mayweather Promotions, endorsements, and various business ventures, including real estate and his strip club in Las Vegas. However, insiders suggest that these streams may no longer be enough to sustain his extravagant way of life.
Could Mayweather be following in the footsteps of other once-wealthy athletes like Mike Tyson, who famously earned over $400 million only to declare bankruptcy? While no one can say for sure, De La Hoya’s claims have reignited concerns about how even the richest athletes can fall into financial distress.
For now, Mayweather has remained tight-lipped on the accusations, but one thing is certain: this latest chapter in the ongoing rivalry between Mayweather and De La Hoya has the entire boxing world talking. Could the legendary “Money” Mayweather really be facing financial troubles? Only time will tell
