In a jaw-dropping moment on live television, sports analyst Stephen A. Smith made waves across the internet after unveiling what he calls the “final evidence” in the long-rumored financial downfall of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. Known for his flamboyant lifestyle, lavish spending, and undefeated record in the ring, Mayweather has always portrayed the image of untouchable wealth. However, Smith’s claims have ignited a firestorm of speculation and concern among fans and critics alike.

Speaking passionately on ESPN’s First Take, Smith began his segment with the dramatic phrase, “He’s done!” before laying out what he described as “clear-cut, undeniable proof” of Mayweather’s deteriorating finances. Among the revelations were multiple properties allegedly being quietly sold off, failed business ventures tied to TMT (The Money Team), and confidential documents suggesting unpaid debts to international lenders.
“He’s not just selling a few assets — he’s liquidating,” Smith emphasized. “You don’t part ways with your most iconic Las Vegas mansion unless something’s seriously wrong. And trust me, this isn’t about downsizing for a ‘simpler life.’ This is about staying afloat.”
What shocked viewers even more was Smith’s claim that Mayweather has been using upcoming exhibition matches — many against relatively unknown fighters — as a last-ditch effort to maintain cash flow. These matches, often criticized by boxing purists, have been marketed heavily but fail to deliver real competition, raising questions about Mayweather’s motivations.
Social media exploded after the broadcast, with #Mayweather trending within minutes. Some fans rushed to Mayweather’s defense, suggesting that even if he’s selling assets, it could be part of a smart long-term strategy. Others, however, pointed out that Mayweather’s spending habits — from multi-million-dollar car collections to private jets and custom jewelry — were never sustainable in the long run.
Despite the whirlwind of speculation, Mayweather himself has remained silent. No official statement has been released from his camp, though insiders close to the former champion hint that he may address the rumors soon. In previous interviews, Mayweather has insisted that his wealth is intact and that he is “smart with money” despite the flashy image he portrays.
Still, the timing of these revelations is raising eyebrows. In the past year alone, Mayweather has increased his media presence, taking on interviews, launching promotions, and teasing various investment projects. Could it all be a smokescreen to hide deeper troubles?
As of now, one thing is certain — Stephen A. Smith’s words have turned the spotlight back onto Floyd Mayweather, not as a boxing icon, but as a man facing very real financial questions. Whether this is the end of an era or simply another chapter in the complex saga of “Money” Mayweather remains to be seen. But for now, fans can only watch and wonder: is the king of cash finally out of time?
