Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather has been ordered by court to pay $3 million for a breach of contract.
With rumours circulating of financial problems for the former pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr, the 50-0 star has been ordered to pay close to $3 million for a contractual breach.
Mayweather retired from professional boxing in 2017, after stopping UFC star Conor McGregor in one of the most watched spectacles in boxing history.
Since retirement, money motivated Mayweather has had a number of exhibition boxing fights.
His most notable exhibition was against Logan Paul, with the two going 8 rounds in a PPV attraction.
This exhibition bout against Paul reportedly brought in $65 million for Mayweather.
According to Sports Illustrated, Mayweather’s net worth is estimated to be $500 million as of 2025.
This makes him one of the highest-paid athletes of all time.
Despite this, reports are circulating more frequently regarding Floyd Mayweather Jr’s recent financial problems.
Floyd Mayweather has been ordered to pay a Nigerian media company more than $2 million for failing to satisfy a prior debt owed to the company for breach of contract.
According to Business Insider Africa, the fighter was previously ordered to pay Zinni Media Concept Limited $2.4 million in 2023 and, after not making any payments for over two years, now owes close to $3 million, with interest added.
The court has ruled that attorneys may pursue enforcement and seize Mayweather’s luxury vehicles, including a 2015 Bugatti Veyron and a 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, both of which are worth more than the amount owed to Zinni Media.
A rumoured mega exhibition is in the works for Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson are interested in meeting in the ring, in a spectacle that would capture the imagination of multiple generation’s of fight fans.
The pair are two of America’s most iconic sports athletes.
Mike Tyson made an astonishing comeback to the ring in 2024 when he faced Jake Paul in an event that generated 65 million concurrent streams.
An exhibition between Mayweather and Tyson will no doubt bring global commercial recognition, and a purse that will solve all potential financial issues for Mayweather.
