“I’m Missing Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars!”: Floyd Mayweather S

Floyd Mayweather Sues Showtime … “I’m Missing Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars!”

Floyd Mayweather says he made over a billion bucks in earnings over his legendary career, but the 50-0 fighter claims all the money didn’t make it to his bank account … and now he’s suing Showtime, claiming they played a big role in his ex-manager screwing him out of hundreds of millions of dollars!

In the lawsuit, filed by Floyd in California, and obtained by TMZ Sports … Mayweather says he’s gunning to “recover hundreds of millions of dollars in the misappropriated funds and damages resulting from a long-running and elaborate scheme of financial fraud,” allegedly perpetrated by his longtime advisor Al Haymon … and now he’s claiming Haymon got “substantial participation and aid” from Showtime and former Showtime Sports president, Stephen Espinoza.

Showtime and Espinoza are listed as defendants … while Haymon is NOT being sued.

Floyd claims Haymon, with whom he worked for over a decade, misappropriated a “significant portion of his career earnings” to the tune of a whopping $340 million … and he says he did so with the help of Showtime and SE.

Mayweather says the money is still “‘missing’ and unaccounted for.”

In the suit, Mayweather references several of his biggest fights, including against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor, alleging Showtime and Espinoza effectively delivered money owed to Floyd directly into Haymon’s hands by sending accounts essentially controlled by Haymon.

Years later, after the undefeated boxer switched managers and his new team asked to see Showtime’s books, which Floyd claims the network told him were “lost in a flood,” or weren’t accessible.

Mayweather is suing Showtime and Espinoza for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, civil conspiracy to commit fraud, conversion, and unjust enrichment.

In addition to the $340 million, Mayweather is also seeking punitive damages.

Reached for comment, Mayweather’s attorney, Bobby Samini, predicted victory, saying … “Floyd is one of boxing’s biggest pay-per-view draws. He generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Showtime. Mr. Mayweather now takes this fight to the courtroom to recover what he rightfully earned. Retiring undefeated at 50-0, Mr. Mayweather will go the distance in the courtroom just as he has in the ring.”

‘A good chess match’: Terence Crawford answers if he’d end retire

Terence Crawford answers if he’d end retirement for Floyd Mayweather fight

Terence Crawford followed in Floyd Mayweather’s footsteps this month when he announced his retirement with an unblemished record.

The switch-hitter from Omaha, Nebraska secured his 42nd win and an undisputed title in a third weight class when he beat Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez earlier this year. Though many felt a rematch would take place, Crawford instead revealed that he was walking away from the sport on top.

JUST IN: “Once he returns.”: Gervonta Davis Emerges as Preferred Rematch

Speaking on a live stream with Adin Ross, during which ‘Bud’ discussed his career and decision to retire, he was asked about how he would go about fighting Floyd Mayweather – the one man past or present he has admitted he might struggle with.

“It’d be a good chess match. Floyd’s one of the greatest at playing chess, so it’d be a game of who’s gonna out-think who.”

Mayweather famously retired undefeated, too, his record of 50-0 summing up his elite defensive skillset. While he has remained relatively active on the exhibition circuit, he recently revealed that a professional return to the sport at 48-years-old is ‘on the table.’

With that in mind, Crawford was asked if he would return for that all-American spectacle, and gave the answer most fans will want to hear.

“Nah, man. Floyd is old. Floyd is done.”

Mayweather may look to pursue a rematch with Manny Pacquiao. The Filipino fighting legend, who made his own pro comeback last year to draw with Mario Barrios, has said it is an option and that talks are ongoing.

Video: How Floyd Mayweather-Esque Moment Became Shakur

Shakur Stevenson Confesses How Floyd Mayweather-Esque Moment Became His Lifetime Trauma

While the betting lines should soothe Shakur Stevenson, the very thought of losing a bout leaves him jittery. Despite moving up a division, the Olympic silver medalist – a three-division champion – remains the heavy favorite to topple WBO and The Ring light welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez.

As he steps into the most critical fight of his professional career, he can’t shake memories of his 2016 Olympic loss. A split decision cost Shakur Stevenson a gold – no American man had won one since Andre Ward in Athens. Images of him crying after Cuba’s Robeisy Ramírez defeated him also bring to mind a similar moment in 1996, when a controversial loss left a young Floyd Mayweather with only a bronze medal.

The fear that fuels Shakur Stevenson

Stevenson revealed how the prospect of losing remains unsettling. “I think my trauma is like losing,” he said in an interview. “I don’t want to ever lose; that’s like a trauma for me.” The interviewer wondered how he would react in that situation – if he were to lose a fight, would he cry or do something reckless?

That immediately took Stevenson back to his Olympic days. “When I lost in the Olympics, that’s what got me crying,” he added. The clip, when Chris Mannix asked about his emotions after he lost the final to Ramírez, went viral. Even then, Stevenson reiterated how much he dislikes losing a fight.

While smiling at his emotional low point, Stevenson recalled how losing a fight that was well within his grasp affected him deeply. “Honestly, I think losing is my biggest pet peeve. I work so hard to make sure that sh*t don’t happen,” he added.

Shakur Stevenson: “I think my trauma is losing. I don’t ever want to lose. When I was a kid.. I lost in the Olympics they got me crying on tv. I work so hard to make sure that sh*t don’t happen. If you go against me and you beat me..you are a bad mother f*cker”#Boxing… pic.twitter.com/W016LGQzp6

While he has yet to suffer a setback, he’s adopted a new perspective, giving props to whoever can finally beat him. “If you go against me and you beat me…you are a bad motherf**ker,” Stevenson said.

After Teofimo, Stevenson is already planning the next big fight

However, the risk of a first loss is real. Lopez is an equally sharp and technically gifted boxer, and one of the sport’s most unpredictable performers.

Eddie Hearn, who is promoting the fight with Top Rank’s Bob Arum, believes it is a 50-50 affair. “I think it’s a fight that could be a little bit of a chess match early on. You have two guys who are very reactive, super sharp, feint and set traps, and with tremendous boxing IQ and footwork,” he said.

But Stevenson remains confident. To that end, he is already talking about a move after the Teofimo fight. In a DAZN interview, he said that he does not want to relinquish his current WBC lightweight title. After he defeats Teofimo, he would rather move back down and pursue a title unification. Only another big fight would convince him to stay at 140 pounds.

A unification fight at 135 pounds would mean a potential matchup against entrenched IBF champion Raymond Muratalla, who defeated top contender Andy Cruz in a Fight of the Year contender during the weekend, a prospect that Stevenson is clearly targeting.

Why Floyd Mayweather Wasn’t Disqualified Despite Multiple Violations

By Admin January 23, 2026

It has been nearly two decades since Zab Judah and Floyd Mayweather shared the ring.

While the bout was one of the rare occasions where ‘Money’ appeared somewhat vulnerable, it is remembered more for its controversies than the action itself. Now, the fight has resurfaced in the public conversation following a recent podcast appearance.

Veteran referee Kenny Bayless—who has officiated several of Mayweather’s bouts—recently appeared on the Ring Champs with Ak & Barak podcast. Joined by host Andre Ward and legendary former champion Roy Jones Jr., Bayless revisited the key incidents from the fight, comments that ultimately prompted a response from Judah.

The truth of the Floyd Mayweather fight comes out 20 years later

During the fight, Zab Judah began the fight aggressively, outboxing Floyd Mayweather early and appearing to score a knockdown in round two, though it was ruled a slip by the referee. As the bout wore on, Mayweather seized control, dominating the later rounds and leaving Judah bloodied. The fight’s defining moment, however, came late in round 10.

A frustrated Judah landed a deliberate low blow followed by an illegal rabbit punch, sending Mayweather to the canvas and forcing the referee, Richard Steele, to halt the action. This prompted Floyd’s uncle and trainer, Roger Mayweather, to storm the ring to confront Judah, sparking a massive in-ring brawl involving both camps.

“Do you know what the rules say in that case?” Bayless asked, referencing that moment. “Disqualification right in that situation.” However, he highlighted that Steele had to use his judgment and didn’t stop the fight from moving forward. “Richard Steele had to use judgment cuz if he [had] stopped that fight, that place would have [gone] crazy,” Bayless said.

View this post on Instagram

“It would have been a nightmare… And Floyd went on to beat Zab,” he concluded during the podcast. Judah later shared this statement from Bayless on Instagram, admitting, “20 years later now the truth.” Regardless, in the aftermath of the fight, the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) heavily fined and suspended the people involved.

Some people had argued that Mayweather should have been disqualified because his team invaded the ring. However, the commission didn’t disqualify or strip Mayweather of the win. Regardless, this isn’t the first time Judah has spoken about that chaotic night.

Zab Judah claimed Roger choked him unconscious

Last year in November, Judah said the chaos in the 10th round completely altered the fight against Mayweather. “The fight should have been stopped right there,” Judah explained. “I was choked out in the corner. People don’t know.” According to Judah, when he rushed toward Roger Mayweather during the melee, Roger “got under me, and he was choking me,” while security pinned Judah’s arms against the ropes.

“He choked me until I kind of, like, passed out,” Judah added, insisting the incident warranted disqualification. “We all know if it was the other way around… that would have been automatic disqualification, 100 per cent.” Judah also defended his father’s actions, saying, “They was trying to jump my pops,” and describing the moment as “real life, real emotion, real people.”

Floyd Mayweather may have won the fight, but fans remember the night when Floyd Mayweather was handed his first loss, at least, he should have been. But what did you make of the fight?

Floyd Mayweather Appeal Denied, Must Pay Media Firm Close To $

Floyd Mayweather Appeal Denied, Must Pay Nigerian Company Close To $3M For Breach Of Contract

In June 2017, Mayweather signed an agreement to make several appearances in Africa but never showed up

After numerous rumors of financial issues surfaced in recent years, undefeated boxer 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.

READ: Authorities Unable To Locate Gervonta Davis

The lawsuit stemmed from an incident in June 2017, after Mayweather signed an agreement with the media company to make several appearances in Africa. After being paid an initial $210,000, he never appeared and did not refund the fee he had been paid.

In 2023, Mayweather was sued in California for failing to appear at the scheduled events. A Los Angeles court awarded Zinni Media $2.4 million. The damages were outlined as $1,638,542 in principal, $721,881 in prejudgment interest, $16,270 in attorney fees, and $285 in costs, bringing the total to $2,376,978.

Mayweather appealed the decision, but the court denied it.

Alex Nwankwo, who is an executive for Zinni Media, stated, “After multiple unsuccessful attempts to recover the appearance fees from Mayweather, we filed a lawsuit in 2018, alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and fraud. We appreciate that two courts have ruled in favour of Zinni Media Ltd.”

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.

In May 2025, Mayweather responded to the reports of his assumed financial problems at The Real Deal’s New York City Forum.

“Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but if that’s what you call having two private jets, owning 100 buildings, and being able to do what you want, then I’m pretty sure everybody is going bankrupt,” he told the audience when questioned about it.

The retired boxer, who remains active by participating in exhibition matches, has one slated this year (no date has been revealed) against Mike Tyson.

“This Is Why AJ Broke His Jaw”: Boxing Fans Trolled Jake Paul Afte

By Admin January 17, 2026

Jake Paul Trolled After Private Jet Dig at Floyd Mayweather Resurfaces

Jake Paul just couldn’t help himself. The YouTube-turned-boxer spotted Floyd Mayweather’s private jet and saw an opportunity too good to pass up. In a video that’s now blowing up across social media, Paul mocks the boxing legend’s six-window aircraft before strutting toward his own 14-window jet. The swagger was unmistakable. The pettiness was off the charts.

The video says it all. Paul walks up to Mayweather’s jet with a camera rolling. “Look at this s***… only got six windows!” he shouts, pointing dismissively at the aircraft. Then comes the theatrics. He skips toward his own plane like a kid showing off a new toy. “My plane got 14 windows! Fourteen!” The emphasis drips with smugness. He repeats it, laughing, making sure everyone gets the point. It’s petty. It’s childish. And it’s classic Jake Paul.

But here’s the thing, the internet wasn’t having it. Instead of applauding Paul’s flex, fans turned the mockery right back at him. The backlash came swift and brutal. From drawing comparisons to Anthony Joshua’s humility to making cruel jokes about Paul’s latest defeat, the response was so loud that it could not be heard any other way: this flex was nowhere near Jake’s expectations.

The video is not a recent one; it was first seen in September 2025. Jake Paul had placed his $40 million jet beside Floyd Mayweather’s at the airport. This was a planned event with the teasing done very smartly. Paul, who has a boxing record of 12-2, enjoyed poking Mayweather’s 50-0 undefeated legacy. The re-posted clip has already gathered more than 2 million views. The spectators are really interested in it. Even in 2026, the animosity still attracts people.

Fans destroy Jake Paul after Floyd Mayweather jet mockery

The internet had a field day with this one. Fans didn’t hold back. Some clowned Paul for the pettiness. Others questioned why two billionaires were arguing over airplane windows. The comments section turned into a roasting session. And Jake Paul was the main course.

One fan got creative with wordplay. “If Mayweather goes on holiday to Tenerife, Jake Paul goes to Elevenerife.” The joke played on Paul’s need to always go bigger, no matter how ridiculous it sounds. Another user saw through the strategy. “Stuff like this gets Floyd’s attention, I bet.” They recognized Paul’s tactic—provoke the legend, stay relevant, keep the clicks coming.

The Anthony Joshua comparisons started rolling in. “Anthony Joshua, despite being worth more than Jake, would never be caught flexing a single thing.” Fans pointed out the contrast between real class and manufactured clout. Some kept it simple and savage. “When your jet is smaller than your ego… 🛩️😎” The dig landed perfectly—Paul’s personality was always the bigger issue. And then came the knockout blow. “This is why AJ broke his jaw.” Fans connected the dots between Paul’s trash talk and his recent loss, suggesting karma had already caught up with him.

Jake Paul was trying to humiliate Floyd Mayweather. He, however, gave the internet something to talk about. The jet show-off turned out to be a big mistake as fans ridiculed him. The derision returned to him. And the moral is very obvious: if you are going to criticize a great one, you should be very sure that your house is clean. Paul’s was not. The internet took care of letting everyone know.

How Mike Tyson Flattening Floyd Mayweather Would Be a Boxing

By Admin January 14, 2026

Mike Tyson Flattening Floyd Mayweather Would Be a Boxing Disaster

An image of Mike Tyson flattening Floyd Mayweather would travel instantly. It would also leave a lasting mark on one of boxing’s cleanest legacies.

But even at 59 and 49, a Tyson knockout of Mayweather in Africa this March would not play as nostalgia. It would read as a business decision that went too far, putting a hole in a record that has been protected for decades for the cold, hard dollar.

JUST IN: Jake Paul makes point with message about Anthony Joshua drug-testing

Nothing about that outcome does anyone any good.

Mayweather’s brand was built on control
Mayweather’s legacy rests on calculation, preservation, and perfection: fifty wins, no losses, and a career shaped around denying opponents a defining moment.

That is why this kind of exhibition carries a different type of risk. If Mayweather hits the canvas, the debate will not center on rules or labels.

It will become a question of judgment: why one of the sharpest operators in boxing chose to expose his résumé to a heavyweight, long after his own competitive window closed.

A payday is easy to understand. The part that is harder to justify is the trade-off if the visuals turn against him.

The weight gap signals what the event is supposed to be
Mayweather agreeing to give away so much weight to Tyson is not a subtle detail. It suggests the contest is designed to look dangerous without becoming just that, a controlled night that resembles a glorified sparring session more than a real fight.

That is also why a knockout becomes the nightmare scenario. It would mean the one man expected to manage the pace and shape the evening could not.

If Tyson decides to go for it, the night can turn ugly
Tyson’s performance against Jake Paul suggested restraint and an understanding of the assignment. If the same approach carries into an exhibition, the event remains what it is intended to be: entertainment, contained and forgettable.

But if Tyson took it upon himself to go for it, the exhibition label would not protect anyone. The moment the illusion breaks, the fight stops being a curiosity and becomes a controversy.

In the worst case, it could carry the same kind of fallout Tyson created against Evander Holyfield, when spectacle crossed into something boxing could not comfortably explain away.

A Tyson knockout would not elevate the Baddest Man. It would not enhance Mayweather. It would not help boxing.

It would turn a carefully managed legacy into a clip, by choice, and not by necessity.

Floyd Mayweather answers whether Canelo is ‘washed up’ after Crawford loss

The sight of Canelo Alvarez shadow boxing in a recent social media post will be welcome news for his vast fanbase, though the jury remains out on whether he can return to his very best.

Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs) underwent elbow surgery not long after his defeat to Terence Crawford last September, a loss that ended his reign as undisputed super-middleweight champion. Despite pre-fight speculation about Crawford’s supposed size disadvantage, the American silenced doubters with a skilful, authoritative display, matching the former champion physically as well as technically.

JUST IN: After Becoming Just The 3rd Man To Hear Final Bell Against Gervonta Davis

The decorated Mexican will turn 36 in July and, while talk of retirement has surfaced, it does not appear to be imminent. His rehabilitation forced him to withdraw from a vacant IBF title bout against unbeaten Cuban Osleys Iglesias, but all indications suggest Alvarez intends to fight on, with his career now just two bouts shy of the 70-fight mark.

Floyd Mayweather Jr, who famously defeated Alvarez in 2013 to claim the WBA and WBC super-welterweight titles, was recently asked by TMZ Sports whether his former opponent is now “washed up” following the emphatic loss to Crawford.

“I don’t know. Boxing is a lot of wear and tear on the body. Maybe so. I’m not really sure.”

Mayweather retired in August 2017 but has remained active on the exhibition circuit, with rumours continuing to circulate about potential match-ups against Manny Pacquiao or even Mike Tyson, who turns 59 in June.

For Alvarez, however, the pull of elite competition appears harder to ignore. Mexican fighting pride has never been easily extinguished, and for now Canelo looks set to continue carrying his nation’s flag — gloves on, and future still unwritten.

Floyd Mayweather’s boxing comeback chances increase with latest development

Pound-for-pound great Floyd Mayweather Jr. could be set to end a nine-year hiatus from the ring and return to the professional scene next year, after collapsed talks for a world title contest have opened the door for a lucrative opportunity.

Mayweather hung up the gloves following a stoppage win against Conor McGregor in the famous ‘Money Fight’ between the respective superstars of boxing and mixed martial arts back in 2017.

JUST IN: Anthony Joshua’s Injuries Feared to be ‘Worse Than First Thought’ After Fatal Car Crash

Since then, ‘TBE” has fought solely in exhibitions and raked in further cash, but a return to professional fighting has been mentioned continuously, especially after the comeback of perennial rival Manny Pacquiao in the summer.

Pacquiao could only muster a draw upon his return, coming extremely close to dethroning Mario Barrios and claiming the WBC welterweight title despite an extended period of inactivity.

Still, the Filipino icon had been linked to another world title bout, with strong suggestions that an announcement for a meeting with WBA champion Rolando Romero was imminent.

However, it is now understood that talks for that scrap have collapsed and that ‘Rolly’ will instead be made to fulfil his mandatory and attempt to defend his belt against Uzbekistan’s Shakhram Giysaov.

Speaking with The Ring, Giyasov’s manager, Vadim Kornilov, explained that he and his fighter would have been willing to wait for their shot, if the fight between Pacquiao and Romero was going ahead.

“I don’t think an exception works when there’s no fight and it’s not announced,”

“If [the Romero-Pacquiao fight] was happening, that’s one thing; we have a lot respect for a fight like that and for Pacquiao especially.

“But when there is no fight, I believe that rules have to be followed and Rolly has to fight Giyasov. I never understand why some fighters get exceptions and don’t have to fight their mandatories.”

As a result, Mayweather can now be considered as the frontrunner for Pacquiao’s next outing, after months of whispers that the pair will meet again over a decade on from their initial encounter.

Floyd Mayweather back on table for Manny Pacquiao after Rolly Romero talks collapse

Talks for a Manny Pacquiao-Rolly Romero bout have collapsed, sources tell The Ring, scrapping plans for a welterweight fight in the first quarter of 2026.

The 47-year-old legend told reporters in October in his native Philippines that he was “negotiating and finalizing” a bout with Romero that would take place in January in Las Vegas.

JUST IN: Anthony Joshua: What you may not know about two men killed in

Talks stalled and the bout was recently being eyed for March, sources said. Now, both sides are moving on.

Pacquiao (62-8-3, 30 KOs) could still stage a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, 11 years after their record-breaking fight, as The Ring reported in October.

However, Mayweather might first hold an exhibition with Mike Tyson that was announced but still has no date or location.

Pacquiao returned in July — nearly four years after he retired — and exceeded expectations in a draw with Mario Barrios for a welterweight title.

Romero, meanwhile, hasn’t made a title defense since he upset Ryan Garcia in May. Romero (17-2, 13 KOs) could face mandatory challenger Shakhram Giyasov.

The unbeaten Uzbek is seeking his first title shot. Giyasov, 32, is rated No 6 by The Ring at welterweight. Romero, who fights out of Las Vegas, is unranked.

Giyasov’s manager, Vadim Kornilov, told The Ring on Monday that the Romero side applied for an exception with the WBA on the basis of the Pacquiao fight to avoid the mandatory and hold an optional defense.

“I don’t think an exception works when … there’s no fight and it’s not announced,” Kornilov said. “If [the Romero-Pacquiao fight] was happening, that’s one thing; we have a lot respect for a fight like that and for Pacquiao especially.

“But when there is no fight, I believe that rules have to be followed and Rolly has to fight Giyasov. I never understand why some fighters get exceptions and don’t have to fight their mandatories.”
