Floyd Mayweather Jr. becomes co-owner of a DC hotel previously owned by Donald Trump
Floyd Mayweather is now the co-owner of a DC hotel that was previously owned by Donald Trump. The former pound-for-pound king and five-division world champion has wasted no time in making huge business investments since retiring from professional boxing in 2017.
'The Best Ever' also owns a boxing promotional company known as Mayweather Promotions. He also owns a team in the NASCAR Cup Series called The Money Team Racing. WBA (Regular) Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis is the most prolific athlete that Mayweather has promoted thus far.
During his phenomenal career, Mayweather was given the nickname 'Money' due to his astronomical earnings as a fighter. In his last professional fight against Conor McGregor, the 2010 Fighter Of The Decade received a disclosed paycheck of $100 million.

Floyd Mayweather recently partnered with an investment group that includes fellow athlete and baseball hall of famer Alex Rodriguez. The company decided to purchase a hotel in DC formerly known as "Trump Towers DC". Trump owned the same hotel during his presidency, which he then put up for sale.
