Event Summary

The charges stem from the purchase of a $200,000 Audemars Piguet watch from Gold and Beyond in December 2024, for which he allegedly wrote a check from a Wells Fargo account with insufficient funds. Prosecutors allege that Floyd Mayweather Jr. knew the check would not be honored. Gold and Beyond pursued criminal charges after attempts to resolve the matter privately failed. If convicted, Floyd Mayweather Jr. could face significant prison time and fines. This incident adds to a series of legal and financial issues for Floyd Mayweather Jr., including a $7.2 million tax lien from the United States — Internal Revenue Service and multiple civil lawsuits.
