If there’s one thing Floyd Mayweather loves almost as much as money, it’s reminding everyone that he has money.
That’s why reports claiming he’s facing felony charges over an alleged $200K fake-check incident have sparked plenty of attention online.
According to the reports, the boxing legend is accused of purchasing an expensive Audemars Piguet watch using a check knowing his balance wasn’t sufficient. The claims suggest the situation has led to two felony charges.
But Mayweather isn’t buying the story. Not even a little bit.
The undefeated boxer quickly pushed back against the reports, blasting the allegations and making it clear he believes the entire thing is nonsense.
The sports publication reported that Gold and Beyond — a high-end Las Vegas resale boutique — initially filed a complaint with the Clark County District Attorney’s office in February. Prosecutors then filed a criminal complain on April 27. Three days later, on April 30, prosecutors filed a court order for Mayweather to appear before a judge. The boxer eventually satisfied the order as of this past Monday (June 15), when Mayweather’s lawyer appeared in a hearing on his behalf.
According to the complaint, Mayweather purchased an Audemars Piguet on December 25, 2024. He allegedly wrote Gold and Beyond a check for $200,000 check, dated December 31, 2024. However, the jeweler alleges the check, from a Wells Fargo Bank account, did not clear, further alleging Mayweather never paid.
For now, Mayweather remains firm in denying the accusations. He has publicly rejected the reports and appears ready to fight the allegations the same way he fought opponents during his boxing career.
Whether the situation develops further remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Floyd Mayweather has never been the type to stay quiet when his name is making headlines.
