Overview
- Filed in March 2026, the lien cites unpaid federal taxes for 2018 and 2023, with the balance still shown as unpaid on March 26.
- A federal tax lien lets the government claim a taxpayer’s property until the debt is resolved, which could encumber Mayweather’s Las Vegas holdings and any sale or refinancing.
- An attorney for Mayweather declined to comment on the filing, according to the reports.
- Mayweather’s recent record with tax authorities includes a 2023 U.S. Tax Court order to pay $5.5 million in deficiencies plus $1.1 million in penalties for 2017, and an earlier $22.2 million settlement tied to 2015 taxes.
- The lien lands as he pursues other legal fights, including a $340 million suit against Showtime that the company disputes, and it could complicate plans being discussed for future boxing events such as a proposed Manny Pacquiao rematch that remains unconfirmed.
