The last few weeks had everyone talking about only one thing: Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford. Maybe Naoya Inoue can be included as well. But out of the blue, a report caught everyone unawares. Boxing greats Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather will step into the ring for a spring 2026 exhibition. Amid all the hullabaloo, fans were absorbing the report with a pinch of salt. And just when they had adjusted themselves, another bomb dropped. Floyd Mayweather has reportedly filed a lawsuit.
Thankfully, the boxing great’s grievance is against someone outside the ring. It’s a Vegas-based car dealer. For those who follow him, Floyd Mayweather has always had a soft spot for cars, especially those at the luxury end. As the owner of more than 100 cars, worth well over $40 million, he often takes fans and followers on social media through the dazzling array lined up in his garage. So it riled the living legend when he felt Vegas Auto Gallery had allegedly misled him during the purchase of a few luxury cars worth $2.25 million.

Floyd Mayweather swaps gloves for legal briefs
Calling out ‘deceptive trade practices’ and ‘misrepresentation,’ Mayweather has reportedly sought damages, punitive relief, and attorney fees. His grievances primarily stem from four vehicles he bought in July 2025 for roughly $2.25 million in total. He told TMZ that concerns arose after the purchase. He was able to return three of the cars. But it appears the dealership refused to take back the 2018 Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet, priced at $1.2 million.

“I think he took [three] cars back, but his one car he didn’t want to take back, which was the [2018] Maybach Landaulet. He didn’t want to take that back. So I had my team and my business partners do their homework on the car. Come to find out the car was in lawsuits, and some parts were changed on the car,” he told TMZ.
So Mayweather alleged the dealer paid roughly $728,000 for that Maybach. He claimed the dealer told him it cost $1.1 million, but later research suggested the actual purchase price was much lower.
While he has now proceeded with legal action, Mayweather also felt the need to caution everyone. “This guy @nick.dossa @vegasautogallery does bad business. Be careful,” his Instagram post on the issue read. It also featured his interview with TMZ, where he spoke about the case in detail.
Fighting for a square deal
Floyd Mayweather’s collection already boasts over 100 cars. Notable examples include a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita worth $4.8 million, a $3.5 million Bugatti Chiron, and a Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta worth $1.4 million. Add to that several Rolls-Royces and Lamborghinis, and the collection becomes both rare and extremely valuable. It reflects his wealth and his taste for an extravagant lifestyle.
So one might wonder, what’s the big deal about a $1.2 million Maybach?
During his TMZ interview, Mayweather made it clear. He acknowledged that dealerships need to make a profit. However, he felt he was taken advantage of and is unhappy with how he claims the Maybach purchase was handled. “I just want to be treated fair,” he said during the interview.
