Floyd Mayweather is speaking out about the rumors that he’s bankrupt and also addresses the $100 million lawsuit against Business Insider.

The former Heavyweight Champion was recently on the TheRealDeal’s NYC Forum 2025 panel to speak about real estate where he was asked a question about suing Business Insider as well as journalist David Geiger.

Mayweather responded with, “I’ve never sued a media outlet. The media outlets throughout my life has bashed me, talked bad about me, talked bad about my family. I’ve always been judged because of how I present myself when promoting a fight. Judge me for the person that you know. You can’t judge me if you don’t know me.”

He continued, “Someone is going out there putting lies on my name, putting lies on me and my team, hurting my business,” Mayweather continued. “We’re not talking about millions. We’re talking about billions of dollars. We can’t do that.”

“So this is my first time ever filing a lawsuit ever against a media company for speaking bad about my company,” Mayweather added. “I’m not a liar. I’m a lot of things, but I’m not a liar. I work hard to build my name, to build my reputation, and I’m not going to let anyone go out there and speak my name or talk bad about me, my family, or my companies.”
