The owners of the apartment at the Baccarat Hotel and Residences that Mayweather rented for $100,000 a month in 2024 apparently want the boxer-turned-investor to watch his rent.
Mayweather stopped paying rent midway through last year and now owes more than $330,000 in unpaid rent and other damages, a limited liability company affiliated with the unit has alleged in a lawsuit filed in New York state court.
Miami entrepreneurs Leila and David Centner bought two units in the 20 West 53rd Street building for more than $15 million in 2016 and combined them, according to public records. Mayweather rented the five-bedroom, five-bathroom apartment, which spans the 18th and 19th floors of the property, in December 2024.
Mayweather stopped paying rent in July and ultimately owed more than $500,000 in back rent and other damages, but the owners negotiated a settlement with Mayweather to repay rent and other debts by Dec. 2, 2025, the lawsuit alleges.
Instead, Mayweather paid for just one of the five months, according to Rena Kliot of Pulse International Realty, a broker who will remarket the unit in the spring.
“He had made a post on Instagram with wads of money in front of him, and they sent it to me and said, ‘How about we use some of that money to pay us,’” Kliot shared. The real deal.
According to Kliot, the owners spent part of Mayweather’s deposit on allegedly unpaid rent.
A representative for Mayweather did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Kliot said she plans to put the house up for sale, somewhere between $22 million and $24 million, or for rent for $150,000 a month.

Mayweather bought a minority stake in the Black Spruce portfolio last year for $402 million, with an option to buy many of the 62 buildings in the portfolio outright.
He launched a real estate company in 2024, when he invested $100 million of equity in a joint venture with Go Partners for a $3 billion luxury rental portfolio.
