Floyd Mayweather believes he was cheated when he bought a Maybach G650 for $1.2 million (3 photos)

A Scandalous Car Purchase Is in the Court

Ex-boxer Floyd Mayweather is known for his love of luxury cars and lavish lifestyle. But now he's at the center of a lawsuit with a Las Vegas car dealership, claiming he was cheated out of the price of a rare Mercedes-Maybach.

Details of the deal and the return of the car

In early July, Mayweather agreed to buy a 2018 Mercedes-Maybach G650 for $1.2 million, a 2023 Ferrari F8 Spider for $480,000, a 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 for $285,000 and a 2025 McLaren Artura for $285,000. However, he quickly backed out of the deal, returning the Ferrari, Porsche and McLaren. He also wanted to return the Mercedes-Maybach, but, he says, the Vegas Auto Gallery dealership refused to take it back.

Fraud allegations

In the new lawsuit, Mayweather accuses the dealer of deceptive sales practices and false information. He claims the G650 cost the dealership just $728,000, leaving the business with almost half a million dollars in profit from a single sale. Boxer says he was told the dealer paid $1.1 million for the car, and he agreed to that margin, but later found out the real price.

I think he took back three cars, but the one he didn’t want to take back was a 2018 Maybach Landaulet. He didn’t want to take it back. So I had my team and business partners check the car. It turned out the car had been involved in lawsuits and some parts had been replaced. He charged me $1.2 million. He said he paid $1.1. I agreed with that. But then I did my homework. I did my research and found out that he paid, if I’m not mistaken, only $728,000 for the car. So he overcharged me by over half a million dollars.



The dealership’s position

Vegas Auto Gallery has categorically denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit “ridiculous and untenable.” The dealership insists that Mayweather signed a contract and actually owed the dealer the full value of the G650. They say he missed payments on the car and previously acknowledged the debt.

This case raises important questions about the transparency of transactions in the luxury car market, where prices can vary significantly. The Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet is an extremely rare and limited-edition car, which partly explains its high cost, but discrepancies in the dealer's information about the original purchase price raise serious doubts about the ethics of doing business. Such disputes often lead to a review of customer information standards in the premium segment.
