Floyd Mayweather Jr. is facing fresh financial scrutiny after the IRS slapped the boxing legend with a massive $7.3 million tax lien tied to unpaid balances from 2018 and 2023.
According to documents filed last month in Las Vegas, the debt remained outstanding as of March 26. The lien gives the government legal rights to potentially seize assets if the bill isn’t handled. Mayweather’s attorney has stayed quiet on the situation.
This isn’t the first time Money May has been in hot water with Uncle Sam. Over the years, the 50-0 fighter has stacked up several tax issues despite reportedly earning over $1 billion throughout his career. Back in 2023, a U.S. Tax Court judge ordered him to pay $5.5 million in back taxes plus another $1.1 million in penalties related to 2017. He also previously settled a whopping $22.2 million tax bill stemming from 2015.
On top of that, Mayweather has been making major financial moves behind the scenes. Reports claim he’s sold off luxury assets like his private jet and multi-million-dollar homes, while other properties including a Las Vegas strip club have reportedly been used as collateral for debts tied to billionaire financier Don Hankey.
Despite the mounting issues, Mayweather is still booked and busy. He’s expected to run it back with Pacquiao in a rumored September 19 bout at the Sphere in Las Vegas, though details remain unclear after Mayweather recently downplayed the fight as just an exhibition.
