Floyd Mayweather Sues Showtime and Stephen Espinoza, Alleging $340 Million Diverted

The boxer alleges the network helped funnel his pay-per-view earnings into accounts controlled by former adviser Al Haymon.

Overview

  • Mayweather filed the complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking about $340 million plus punitive damages from Showtime and former Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza.
  • The suit claims Showtime and Espinoza routed money owed to Mayweather into Al Haymon–controlled accounts, while Haymon is not named as a defendant.
  • Mayweather’s filing says accounting records for major events, including the Pacquiao and McGregor bouts, were later described as lost in a flood or not readily accessible.
  • Paramount, Showtime’s parent company, rejects the allegations as baseless and says it will respond through the court process.
  • The complaint also asserts roughly $20 million remains unpaid from Mayweather’s 2015 Andre Berto fight, with the case now moving into its initial litigation phase.
