Floyd Mayweather Shreds $200K Fraud Reports, Calls Them “Bullsh*t”

Floyd Mayweather is blasting allegations that he knowingly used a $200,000 check without sufficient funds to purchase a luxury Audemars Piguet watch from a Las Vegas retailer, dismissing the accusations as “bullsh*t” while a Nevada criminal case advances.

Clark County prosecutors filed two felony counts tied to the transaction after Gold and Beyond lodged a complaint earlier this year. According to TMZ Sports, Mayweather is accused of theft involving property valued above $100,000 and passing a check with intent to defraud after allegedly acquiring the timepiece through a Wells Fargo account prosecutors claim could not cover the purchase amount.

Gold and Beyond waited more than a year before pursuing criminal action, hoping the matter would be settled privately. Attorneys representing the Las Vegas business said repeated attempts to secure payment eventually produced no resolution, prompting the complaint filed with the Clark County District Attorney's Office.

April brought a formal criminal complaint, followed days later by a court order directing the former champion to appear before a judge. Legal counsel attended a recent hearing on Mayweather's behalf, satisfying that requirement while the matter continues to play out.

Disputed $200,000 check tied to the Audemars Piguet purchase was allegedly written on Dec. 31, 2024, despite insufficient money, property, or credit being available when payment was presented. The transaction was allegedly completed with knowledge the instrument would not be honored.

Mayweather has rejected the allegations outright and insists no criminal wrongdoing occurred. The boxing icon built his reputation around enormous fight purses and lavish spending habits, making the accusations especially notable given the image he projected while building a 50-0 record.

Getting a conviction will not be easy, yet the stakes are significant. Nevada statutes allow substantial prison exposure and financial penalties if prosecutors ultimately prove both counts beyond a reasonable doubt.

Athens remains on Mayweather's schedule despite the courtroom battle. The 50-0 legend is still expected to travel to Greece for an exhibition bout later this month while attorneys handle the dispute in Nevada.
