Bubblemaps disputes the seven-figure profit Sahil Arora claims on his Mayweather meme coin
Floyd Mayweather's accounts pushed a Solana meme coin that peaked near $1 million and fell 96% in three hours, Decrypt reported. Promoter Sahil Arora calls it the start of a second wave of celebrity launches.

Three figures. Arora claims a seven-figure profit, at least $1,000,000. Bubblemaps counts $306,000 of profit for the top 100 traders combined and about $105,000 for the largest connected cluster of wallets.
| Figure | Value | Note | Claim |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arora's claimed profit, seven figures, at least | $1,000,000 | per Arora, to Decrypt; unconfirmed | 13 |
| Top 100 traders combined, profit, per Bubblemaps | $306,000 | Bubblemaps, to Decrypt; contested | 18 |
| Largest connected cluster, profit, about | $105,000 | per Bubblemaps | 14 |
What happened
- According to several social media accounts cited by Decrypt, Mayweather's account sold from the deployer wallet for about $5,000 of profit before the token ran, then deleted its posts.
- Arora told Decrypt the whole sequence was orchestrated, and that the story of Mayweather fumbling gains is what pushed the price higher.
- Bubblemaps told Decrypt the biggest connected cluster of wallets made about $105,000 and the top 100 traders combined made $306,000, and said the numbers are not adding up.
- Fomo, the platform where the token traded, lets users see who is buying and selling, which Decrypt says can create viral moments.
Why it matters
- contradiction The only source for the size of the payout is the promoter, and the only independent on-chain count in the report points the other way.
- cost A buyer at the peak held about 4 cents per dollar of value three hours later, and every dollar of profit counted on-chain was funded by other wallets' purchases.
- decision A celebrity-linked wallet selling early cannot be read as a sign of weakness or conviction when the launcher says the sequence was scripted.
- exposure A celebrity who promotes an Arora token is exposed to the dispute that followed his first one: Caitlyn Jenner, whose coin started his 2024 run, went on to claim he scammed her.
Arora's account of his own take is the number to test first. He says he made seven figures by selling from other wallets [17], or rather at least $1,000,000, since that is where seven figures starts. Set against Bubblemaps' top-100 total, the distance is at least $694,000 [13], unless the money sat in wallets outside that group. The largest connected cluster is about 10.5% of the floor [14]. A market cap is a price times a supply, not a cash balance, and this one peaked at about that level [1]. A seven-figure profit would need nearly all of that implied value to leave as cash.
The staging claim holds together on its own terms. Market Insider's post, dated October 13, 2026, put the profit the wallet forwent at over $280,000 [19], at least 56 times what the wallet took [12]. Pressed on his new strategies, Arora said the selling was not done all at once [4]. Earlier projects of his had drawn rug-pull accusations after falling more than 90% in seconds [9].
Mayweather's own role is not established. Decrypt's piece does not include a statement from him; what it has is Arora saying he is "tight" with all of the celebrities he launches tokens with and that convincing them is "really easy" [5]. The boxer has a record here. The Centra Tech ICO he promoted raised $32 million for a crypto debit card, and by 2018 the SEC had charged him with promoting the sale without disclosing that he had been paid [8]. He later agreed to pay a fine and not to promote any security for three years [10].
We think Arora will try again. "We will recreate everything on Fomo that we made on Pump.fun in 2024, just with better strategies where people also win," he told Decrypt [3], and the first Fomo launch is already behind him [1]. The counter-case is the payout: if Bubblemaps' count is nearer the truth than his, a promoter with a measured take well under his claim has a thinner pitch for the next celebrity than the one he gives. We would be wrong if no second celebrity-linked Arora token appears on Fomo.
What to watch
- Any statement from Mayweather or his representatives on whether he approved the posts promoting the token.
- Wallet-level evidence from Arora that puts his seven-figure profit on-chain, since Bubblemaps' tally currently does not show it.
