Floyd Mayweather Faces Felony Charges in Las Vegas
Prosecutors say the 49-year-old boxer wrote a $200,000 check for a luxury watch that was returned unpaid.
- Boxer Floyd Mayweather faces two felony charges in Nevada for allegedly passing a $200,000 bad check to purchase a luxury watch from Gold and Beyond on December 31, 2024.
- Prosecutors charged Mayweather with theft value $100,000 or greater and intent to defraud; his attorney represented him during an initial appearance at Las Vegas Justice Court on Monday.
- Authorities claim the check was deposited and returned unpaid, while Gold and Beyond reportedly waited over a year before filing the complaint against Mayweather.
- This case adds to mounting legal challenges for Mayweather, including a $7 million tax lien and a $1 million back child support order issued in March 2026.
- Despite these legal developments, Mayweather is scheduled to return to the ring on June 27 in Athens, Greece, for an exhibition match against kickboxer Mike Zambidis.
