Floyd Mayweather is taking a leaf out of Tom Brady’s book.
Last year, the legendary NFL quarterback and his co-investor, Knighthead Capital Management founder Tom Wagner, paid a reported $244 million total for a ten percent stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.
Now, boxing icon Floyd Mayweather is reportedly set to throw his name in the hat for the New York Giants.
Last week, the Giants announced they would explore a sale of a minority stake in the team.
According to reports from TMZ, ‘Money’ Mayweather is leading a group aiming to purchase a 10 percent stake in the team, which is valued at $7.65 billion.
Mayweather, along with real estate mogul Meyer Orbach, is preparing a massive offer rumored to be in the $700 million range.
“Floyd Mayweather and his business partner Meyer Orbach want to buy a 10 percent stake in the NY Giants,” TMZ producer Michael J. Babcock posted on X.
“Orbach, a real estate mogul, already owns the [Minnesota] Timberwolves (~17%).
“Told they’re looking to put together an offer around $700 million. Others (perhaps a NYG legend or two) are likely to be added to the Floyd/Meyer group.”
Addressing Mayweather’s reported interest in the franchise, Orbach told TMZ: “My partners and I are always looking at different opportunities, including ownership of sports teams. I can’t comment further than that.”
The Giants are owned by John Mara and Steve Tisch, with each having a 50 percent stake in the franchise. The team is one of the most profitable and popular in the NFL.
The Giants’ $7.65 billion valuation is third in the NFL and seventh-most among global sports teams. Giants legend Eli Manning has also expressed interest in becoming a minority owner in the franchise.
The Giants have won four Super Bowls but have been down on their luck in recent years.
They missed the playoffs last season with a 3-14 record and have add persistent issues at quarterback with the likes of Daniel Jones and Tommy DeVito.
However, they have one of the most exciting young wide receivers in the league in Malik Nabers, as well as the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Mayweather, on the other hand, is one of the best boxers in the history of the sport with a 50-0 professional record.
He became a pay-per-view star of the course of his storied career, drawing millions of eyeballs with high profile bouts against the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor.
‘Pretty Boy’ has an estimated net worth of over $400 million, which he has already used in the sports world.
He’s fielded a NASCAR team in the Daytona 500, and now looks hellbent on adding NFL ownership to his growing portfolio.
