Floyd Mayweather remains one of boxing's most successful athletes of the modern era. The former champion retired undefeated at 50-0 and became known for his technically dominant performances across several weight divisions.
However, controversy has continued to follow him into retirement, including recent revelations about alleged unpaid child support obligations tied to a court ruling.
The case centered around Paige Moorehead, a former dancer at Mayweather's Girl Collection club in Las Vegas. Moorehead reportedly had an eight-year relationship with Mayweather before filing legal documents in 2023 seeking to establish that he is the father of her daughter. Court records later revealed that a judge officially declared the 49-year-old boxer as the child's legal father earlier this year.
Mayweather reportedly denied several allegations connected to the case after Moorehead's legal filings became public.
Court documents claimed Moorehead was dismissed from the Girl Collection club after Mayweather learned about her pregnancy in 2021.
The filings also alleged Mayweather ignored multiple court directives regarding DNA testing before being ordered to pay over $933,000 in unpaid child support.
Mayweather originally launched the Girl Collection club in Las Vegas back in 2017 as part of his growing business ventures. The former champion previously stated he entered the industry because he believed the business would never go out of style. However, the club has faced several controversies over the years, including lawsuits involving alleged wage violations and misconduct claims from former dancers.
Mayweather is now a father of five children from previous relationships and has often shared family moments. His personal life has also faced controversy, particularly involving former partner Josie Harris, who accused him of domestic abuse in 2010. The boxing legend later served jail time after pleading guilty to reduced battery charges connected to the incident and remains publicly unmarried and private.
TMZ reported that a judge authorized Paige Moorehead to place a substantial lien against Mayweather's California properties. The lien could reportedly reach up to $2 million to secure future child support payments. The latest controversy adds to a growing list of legal and financial issues surrounding the undefeated boxing legend. Floyd Mayweather has yet to issue a public statement regarding the ruling.
Floyd Mayweather was first scheduled for a March 2026 exhibition bout against heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The fight has since been postponed to fall 2026. He was also slated to face Greek kickboxer Mike Zambidis in June 2026 at the Telekom Center in Athens, Greece. Both exhibitions have faced scheduling changes and remain unconfirmed after recent developments.
According to reports from Ring Magazine, Floyd Mayweather has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service regarding an unresolved tax debt exceeding $7.25 million. The development includes reported intentions to pursue enforcement actions due to the debt's classified status as seriously delinquent. Documents suggest this situation has escalated to the point of potential restrictions on his U.S. passport.
Mayweather's planned rematch against Manny Pacquiao at the Sphere is now facing uncertainty. Mayweather previously backtracked on confirming it as a professional bout, creating confusion over its official status. Pacquiao's team reportedly issued a breach-of-contract notice regarding the changes. The fight now remains unresolved amid ongoing disputes and complications surrounding TBE's schedule.
