Overview
- Prosecutors allege Floyd Mayweather wrote a $200,000 check on Dec. 31, 2024 to buy a luxury watch from Las Vegas reseller Gold and Beyond and that the check was deposited and returned unpaid.
- Gold and Beyond filed a complaint with the Clark County district attorney in February and prosecutors lodged a criminal complaint on April 27 accusing Mayweather of theft and passing a check with intent to defraud.
- Mayweather did not appear in person at an initial Las Vegas Justice Court hearing Monday but was represented by counsel, and the case is scheduled for a pretrial hearing in September.
- Under Nevada law cited in court records, the check-and-fraud count carries a possible one- to four-year sentence and the felony theft count carries a possible one- to 20-year sentence, plus fines and restitution.
- The criminal case adds to separate civil suits and a reported IRS federal tax lien of more than $7.2 million, and Mayweather remains free to travel for planned exhibitions including a June 27 bout in Athens.
