Floyd Mayweather Sued Over a $105,000 Unpaid Private Jet Bill — And His Financial Problems Are Piling Up Fast
Floyd Mayweather made over $1 billion in the ring. Now he’s being sued over a $105,000 plane ride.
A charter company filed a lawsuit Friday in Los Angeles County against Mayweather over an unpaid flight to Turks and Caicos from September 2025. The complaint alleges Mayweather has “a pattern of taking goods and services without paying for them.” That language is damning — and it lines up with a cascade of financial problems that have been building for months.
In March, the IRS filed a $7.3 million lien against Mayweather for unpaid federal taxes covering 2018 and 2023. In February, he was hit with three separate lawsuits: a $1.4 million claim from a Miami jeweler over 26 luxury watches and 15 gold Cuban link chains, a $330,000 suit from his New York City landlord for unpaid rent, and additional financial claims from other creditors.
The response has been dramatic. Mayweather has reportedly sold his private jet, his Beverly Hills mansion, and his Miami mansion — the same properties he spent years flaunting on Instagram as proof of his wealth.
But Mayweather isn’t just playing defense. He’s filed a $340 million lawsuit against Showtime Networks, claiming that hundreds of millions from his career earnings were diverted by his former advisor Al Haymon into third-party accounts without his knowledge. If true, it would be one of the largest financial mismanagement cases in sports history. If not, it’s a legal Hail Mary from a man watching his empire collapse.
Meanwhile, Mayweather posted an Instagram photo of himself on a private jet surrounded by cash with the caption: “I just be minding my business.” The irony writes itself.
Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) retired as the undefeated, undisputed champion across five weight classes, defeating Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao, and Canelo Alvarez among others. He is widely considered one of the greatest defensive fighters in boxing history and earned over $1 billion in career purses.
