Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, famously known as “Money Mayweather,” has found himself at the center of a $100 million lawsuit against Business Insider and journalist Dan Geiger. But things took a dramatic turn when rapper 50 Cent entered the scene, publicly mocking Floyd on social media.The Lawsuit That Shook the InternetThe controversy began when Business Insider published claims that Floyd never completed a $400 million real estate deal with Black Spruce, despite his bold public declarations. Floyd responded by filing a defamation lawsuit, accusing the outlet of racial bias and harassment of his family. In his own words:

“I’ve been judged for how I talk when I promote a fight—not for who I really am.”

But Floyd didn’t stop there. He claimed the false reports had cost him not just millions but billions. However, critics quickly pointed out a glaring issue: where’s the proof?

50 Cent Joins the Drama

As the lawsuit gained attention, 50 Cent couldn’t resist taking a jab at his longtime rival. In his signature trolling style, the rapper quipped:
“This case is going nowhere because you didn’t do the deal, champ. You probably named the reporter separately just so he has to pay his own lawyer fees.”

50 Cent’s comments added fuel to the fire, with many questioning Floyd’s financial status. The internet erupted with memes and debates, with one host sarcastically remarking:
“Just because you show me a jet doesn’t mean you’re not broke. Show me a bank statement.”

The Missing Receipts

Floyd’s credibility took another hit when his claims about owning over 1,000 apartments in New York were scrutinized. Videos of him touring buildings and boasting about his real estate empire circulated online, but Business Insider found no evidence to back up his statements—no deeds, no permits, no paper trail.
“If it’s all lies, where’s the paperwork?” one critic asked.

Even during an appearance on a real estate podcast, Floyd failed to produce any tangible proof, leaving fans and skeptics alike questioning his narrative.

A Legacy at Stake

Once known for flaunting stacks of cash and luxury items, Floyd’s recent silence on social media has only fueled speculation about his financial troubles. Critics argue that the lawsuit is less about defamation and more about deflection, as Floyd struggles to maintain his “Money Mayweather” persona.
“Everybody wants to look rich, but you can’t fake receipts,” an industry insider noted.

What’s Next for Floyd?

As the lawsuit unfolds, the world is left wondering: is Floyd Mayweather a victim of media bias, or is this just another chapter in the saga of a fading icon trying to hold onto his legacy? Only time—and perhaps some long-awaited receipts—will tell.
