In 2024, Floyd Mayweather Jr. was held hostage in Dubai for alleged nonpayment of a gambling debt. He eventually paid the money and was allowed to leave the UAE.
Two years later, Floyd is still experiencing significant cash flow problems.
The IRS recently hit the aging boxer with a $7.3 million tax lien. Additionally, a company that leases private jets filed a $105,000 lawsuit against Floyd for theft of services.
Floyd is well-known for squandering his money on women, cars, clothes and jewelry. He routinely posts social media photos showing off stacks of money to impress his followers.
With debts piled to the ceiling, “money Mayweather” is being forced out of retirement at age 49 to box for millions of dollars to pay his mounting debts.
Floyd dismissed news of his IRS tax lien in a new video.
“You know what’s crazy? People are always in my f***ing business, worried about what I’m doing. What Floyd is doing, what Floyd ain’t doing, what I do got, what I don’t got. Just know, I’ma stay in my lane, I ain’t gonna f*** with nobody, and I don’t want nobody f***ing with me,” he said.
“When I go on vacation, excuse me – paycation, I take 30 watches with me,” he said while opening 2 briefcases to reveal expensive wristwatches.
“But you know what? What’s crazy is this, if we add 10 more days, I’ll take 10 more watches,” he said as he opened a smaller case to reveal ten more timepieces worth about $250,000.
He held up a bejeweled watch to the camera and said, “If I wanna bring out the one and only, then I bring out the watch that cost $18 million.”
Floyd tossed a stack of $50,000 cash on a bed and said, “You know what I’ma do for you mf haters today, I’ma go f*** off $50,000. I ain’t got sh*t else to do. Money made all mf day.”
