Floyd Mayweather Facing $1.2 Million Lawsuit from Vegas Auto Gallery Over Nonpayment Issues
In a high-profile legal dispute, Floyd Mayweather Jr., the renowned professional boxer, and his associated entity, Mayweather Promotions LLC, are facing a lawsuit filed by Vegas Auto Gallery, a luxury car dealership situated in Las Vegas. The claim arises from the alleged failure to pay for luxury vehicles amounting to over $2 million, with a specific demand for $1.2 million in filed damages due to breach of contract.
On July 3, 2025, it is reported that Mayweather purchased four high-end vehicles from Vegas Auto Gallery, engaging in transaction procedures documented through purchase agreements and checks. However, Vegas Auto Gallery alleges that despite these actions, payment was never rendered. Following this, Mayweather reportedly returned three of the vehicles but opted to execute a settlement for the final vehicle. The crux of the dealership's complaint lies in the confession of judgment, a legal acknowledgement made by Mayweather confirming his debt to the dealership.
The complaint, lodged on September 19, 2025, in Clark County’s District Court, indicates that Mayweather's actions not only involved returning vehicles post-sale but also a series of disparaging remarks targeting the dealership and its owner. The legal experts handling the case for Vegas Auto Gallery, Clark Hill, emphasize the seriousness of the accusations, highlighting that despite a clear contractual obligation, Mayweather has failed to remit the agreed-upon payments.
Michael Cristalli, an attorney representing the dealership, expressed frustration regarding Mayweather's non-compliance. "Our filing speaks for itself. Despite the documentation of the vehicle purchases, he refused to fulfill his financial commitments," Cristalli stated. This situation speaks volumes about the reputational risk and financial implications for a figure of Mayweather's caliber and public presence, especially given his robust social media following of approximately 29.3 million.
Vegas Auto Gallery has made it known that they extended multiple chances for Mayweather to settle his debt, marking two previous deadlines that he missed. The dealership found itself in a position where it had to take legal action to recover the outstanding amount, asserting that they adhered to a spirit of professionalism and respect towards their customer, despite the unfolding events.
The case adds to Mayweather’s complex history with similar legal disputes, centering around issues of nonpayment for goods and services, which media reports have previously documented. With potential repercussions expected to unfold, including sanctions for frivolous claims filed by Mayweather, this legal battle poses significant implications for both parties involved. The commitment of Vegas Auto Gallery to pursuing this case underscores their resolve in enforcing the terms of their agreement, aiming not only for financial restitution but also to safeguard their business reputation within an industry often challenged by celebrity influence.
As this case progresses, all eyes will be on the court's actions and the legal arguments presented by both sides, with implications that might extend beyond mere financial disputes to deeper examinations of business accountability and celebrity ethics. Vegas Auto Gallery has made it clear they will not shy away from exploring all legal remedies available to them to secure their due payments, ensuring the integrity of their business remains intact amidst high-profile challenges.
