Floyd Mayweather Jr. wanted to buy a $200,000 Audemars Piguet watch. The problem is that the check he signed, dated December 31, 2024, never had sufficient funds to back it.
The Gold and Beyond boutique in Las Vegas deposited the check against a Wells Fargo account. It bounced. And what seemed like a simple banking error turned into a criminal complaint from the Clark County District Attorney’s Office, filed on April 27, 2026: theft of more than $100,000 and issuing a check with intent to defraud.
The 49-year-old boxer, undefeated in 50 fights and the owner of a fortune he flaunted throughout his career, did not appear at the initial hearing. His lawyer went in his place. If found guilty, he could face up to 20 years in prison on the theft charge, and an additional one to four years for fraud 🥊⚖️
