Without a fight since September 2015 and seemingly happy in retirement, the 39 year-old five-weight world champion is putting the finishing touches to his new ‘Girl Collection’ Gentlemen’s Club in Las Vegas, Nevada.
‘Money’ has already begun hiring dancers for the launch and is ready to begin a new chapter in his life as a nightspot owner.
Mayweather’s ‘Girl Collection’ will be situated at 2580 S. Highland Drive, near Sahara Avenue and Interstate 15, the site of the former Sheri’s Cabaret, and is expected to open in early 2017.
“Emerick (Shane, Floyd’s attorney) said Mayweather acquired a tavern-limited license, which allows for the sale of alcoholic beverages, and a topless club license, as well as the normal business licenses required by Las Vegas. The tavern license carries a $20,000 origination fee and an $800 semi-annual fee,” according to the Las Vegas Sun.
“Everything about Floyd is part of the procedure and everything was disclosed. It’s all public record. It’s gone very smoothly. Floyd lives in Las Vegas. He’s part of the community and he has abided by every procedure and application process and submitted everything timely and successfully.”
Focusing on high-end clients with big money to spend, Mayweather will be hoping to make a success of his new role, which could in-turn mean any comeback to the sport is further away than ever.
In an Instagram post over the past few days, Mayweather said: “Welcome to the all-new “GIRL COLLECTION”.
“We are an upscale, Gentleman’s Club offering a great opportunity for talented dancers (both local and out of state) to dance for what is set to be the hottest Gentlemen’s Club in all of Las Vegas! If you are a talented and energetic, exotic dancer looking to earn top dollar in a professional, luxurious and fun environment, then “GIRL COLLECTION” is where you need to be.”
