Floyd Mayweather faces felony charges in Las Vegas 5h ago

Former five-division world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather, 49, is facing two felony charges in Las Vegas for theft and intent to defraud. Prosecutors from the Clark County District Attorney's office allege that in December 2024, Mayweather wrote a $200,000 check via Wells Fargo Bank to a luxury resale store called Gold and Beyond despite having insufficient funds. Mayweather was represented by an attorney during a Monday court appearance in Las Vegas Justice Court, with a subsequent hearing scheduled for September. These legal issues coincide with other financial disputes, including a New York lawsuit regarding unpaid Manhattan apartment rent and conflicts with several jewelers. Despite these challenges, Mayweather recently announced his return to competitive boxing, with a scheduled appearance for the “Battle of the Legends” match in Athens, Greece, on June 27.
