According to reports, Floyd Mayweather, yes, Floyd, aka “Money,” is now being chased by the Internal Revenue Service over $7.3 million in unpaid taxes amid Manny Pacquiao fight. Not $73, not $7,300. A smooth $7.3 million. Pocket change if your pockets are the size of a luxury mansion.
The government claims the undefeated boxing legend didn’t quite handle his taxes from 2018 to 2023. And by “didn’t quite handle,” they mean didn’t pay them.
Now here’s where it gets interesting. Reports say Floyd allegedly sold off mansions and even his private jet, yes, a whole flying house without settling those tax bills, because apparently, when you’re Floyd Mayweather, selling a jet is just another Tuesday.
The IRS filed the $7.3 million lien against Mayweather last month in Las Vegas, where he has property. The notice shows the balance was unpaid as of March 26. An attorney for Mayweather declined to comment on the lien, which allows the government to lay claim to Mayweather’s property until the bill is paid. This is the latest in a series of debts the 49-year-old fighter has accumulated, including a $5.5 million tax deficiency and $1.1 million in penalties ordered by a US Tax Court judge in 2023 for his 2017 taxes.
– The IRS filed the $7.3 million lien against Mayweather last month (March 2026).
– Mayweather was ordered to pay $5.5 million in tax deficiencies and $1.1 million in penalties in 2023 for his 2017 taxes.
– Mayweather previously settled with the IRS for $22.2 million over his taxes from 2015, the year he last fought Pacquiao.
The irony here is strong. A man known for flashing stacks of cash, counting money for fun, and reminding everyone how rich he is, now being reminded to pay what he owes. Life comes at you fast.
Still, $7.3 million for Floyd might be like losing a sock in the laundry. Annoying, but not life-ending. The real question is whether he’ll settle it quickly or turn this into another long, drawn-out saga.
One thing is certain: the IRS doesn’t lose fights. Ever!
So Floyd might be undefeated in the ring, but against taxes? That’s a whole different opponent. And this one doesn’t care about your highlight reel.
