Floyd Mayweather is initiating legal action against Showtime, alleging that its involvement in his former manager's breach of fiduciary duty resulted in him being swindled out of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Mayweather boasts one of the most illustrious boxing careers in history. However, he maintains that he has not received the full benefits to which he was entitled.
The Sporting News explains why Floyd Mayweather is filing a $340 million lawsuit against Showtime.
Why is Floyd Mayweather suing Showtime?
Mayweather is suing Showtime, alleging that they significantly contributed to his ex-manager's scheme that cost him hundreds of millions of dollars.
In the lawsuit Floyd filed in California, which TMZ Sports obtained, Mayweather states his determination to recover hundreds of millions of dollars in misappropriated funds and damages. He describes this as part of a long-standing, complex financial fraud scheme, allegedly orchestrated by his longtime advisor, Al Haymon.
Additionally, he alleges that Haymon received significant support and assistance from Showtime and former Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza.
Floyd Mayweather net worth
Mayweather's estimated net worth is in the hundreds of millions. Thanks to his big fights, such as the $180 million bout against Manny Pacquiao.
Mayweather's real estate investments, including luxury homes and big projects in New York and Miami, certainly help this number.
While the exact numbers may differ, he's always ranked among the world's highest-paid athletes. Mayweather's career earnings have surpassed $1 billion, but his network, according to Sports Illustrated, is valued at between $400 and $560 million.
Is Floyd Mayweather going broke?
Floyd Mayweather has consistently denied rumors of financial decline, despite recent reports indicating substantial monetary pressures. He insists he is creating "generational wealth," but as of early 2026, several legal and financial disputes have come to light.
Mayweather faces financial and legal issues on the regular, including a $3 million debt to a Nigerian media company, foreclosure risks on two properties, and potential loss of his "Girl Collection" strip club due to unpaid taxes.
In 2026, courts allowed his attorneys to pursue his car collection, including a Bugatti Veyron, to settle debts. He also reportedly secured a $54 million loan with 9% interest, using his assets as collateral.
Mayweather's lawsuit against Showtime and Al Haymon is another chapter in this long history of financial problems.
Floyd Mayweather boxing record
Mayweather maintains an unblemished professional boxing record of 50-0, with 27 victories achieved through knockout. He officially retired from professional boxing in August 2017 following his victory over MMA fighter Conor McGregor.
Some may remember Mayweather fighting in 2021; however, that was an exhibition match against Logan Paul and did not affect his record.
Jarrell Miller has turned an already bizarre boxing moment into comedy gold after revealing how much his flying toupee actually cost him.
The heavyweight fighter was left red-faced during his bout at Madison Square Garden when his hairpiece came loose in the middle of the fight.
Now, Jarrell Miller has opened up on the moment that quickly went viral online, and how much his hairpiece cost him.

Jarrell Miller toupee flies off during Madison Square Garden fight
Jarrell Miller was fighting Kingsley Ibeh on the undercard of the Shakur Stevenson vs. Teofimo Lopez card when a punch in the second round sent his toupee flying in front of the crowd.
The unexpected moment quickly overshadowed the fight itself, with fans inside Madison Square Garden and viewers online reacting as the clip spread across social media.
Despite the distraction, Miller continued and went on to secure a split decision victory. The win was still somewhat overshadowed by the viral moment.
And now, just a few days later, Miller appeared on The Breakfast Club to discuss how much the hairpiece cost him and how he learned it had gotten knocked off.
Jarrell Miller reveals $700 cost after viral moment
After the fight, Jarrell Miller explained how he realised something was wrong while sitting in his corner between rounds.
“Man, $700 last minute. I didn’t realize it came off, but I felt a draft. I’m sitting down in my corner, my coach is giving me instructions, but he stuttered twice.
“And he never stutters. I look at the Jumbo Tron for the replay. I said ‘Oh s—, they got me. We cooked. We fried.’”
Miller’s reaction only added to the viral moment, with the heavyweight showing he was happy to laugh at himself. Perhaps him winning the fight made laughing at the matter easier.
Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya have never had the best of relationships, but it may have reached a new low with White's recent OnlyFans claim against the Mexican-American.
The public grudge between White and De La Hoya stemmed from the Hall-of-Fame boxer's criticism of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor crossover clash in 2017. The pair have since been in constant verbal warfare, with the fire remaining lit almost a decade on from the birth of their rivalry.
We are weeks into the new year, and Oscar De La Hoya has already spoken out of turn against Dana White and his business ventures. De La Hoya labeled White's first Zuffa Boxing event a low-level club show, attempting to damage the reputation of the new promotion before it had truly begun. As expected, White didn't take lightly to the comments, deciding not to hold back against his long-term foe.
"Oscar is on a sinking ship and will not shut the f*** up," White said, adding fuel to the fire of his ongoing feud with De La Hoya. "This guy is, it's fascinating."
Amid his alleged financial troubles, Dana White mocked Oscar De La Hoya. The UFC CEO encouraged De La Hoya to return to the subscription-based social media platform OnlyFans to make back the debt he owes.
"He's going to have to throw the panties and f***ing stockings back on and get on OnlyFans and start paying his rent," White continued. "That boy is running out of money. His ship is sinking very fast, and he's talking sh*t all the way down."
"Get the panties and fishnets back on, jump on OnlyFans and pay that $23 million on f***ing rent you owe, buddy. Talking sh*t."
Listen to Dana White's rant against Oscar De La Hoya in the video below.
Dana White just violated Oscar De La Hoya 😭
“He’s running out of money. Get the panties and fishnets back on, jump on OnlyFans and pay that $23M on f*cking rent you owe.”
It was a night of endless drama for Josh Kelly on Saturday in Newcastle. And a few dreams and fairytales thrown in for good measure.
He started as a big underdog in his world title fight against the unbeaten Bakhram Murtazaliev; he finished exhausted, bruised and the new IBF super-welterweight champion. It was a win that few outside of Kelly’s tight circle believed would happen. Murtazaliev and his experienced crew thought it was an easy night and, at the end, the fallen champion looked more confused than upset that he had just lost his title.
There was a half-hearted attempt to call the decision a “disgrace”, but that is now standard in every fight that goes the full 12 rounds. It was the right verdict.
The result does not tell the full story of the dramatic fight, or the slick and brave tactics Kelly needed to win and avoid becoming victim No 24 on Murtazaliev’s record. The Chechen, who is based in California, had stopped his last two opponents in world title fights but had not competed for 14 months; the inactivity was not an excuse before the first bell, but it did look like an issue in the fight.
It was not always pretty, but it was always entertaining. They were both dropped, and both had spells under heavy pressure. In many ways, it was a perfect performance from Kelly – a smart display of sensible boxing with just the right amount of risk.
The action in Kelly’s corner during the breaks for the last five or six rounds was critical in keeping the boxer under control. Adam Booth, his trainer, read the riot act a few times, warned about losing concentration, and was especially inspirational at the end of the ninth when Kelly had been dropped heavily.

Murtazaliev entered the ring having bludgeoned his way to the IBF world title, and with a fearsome and justified reputation as both a heavy puncher and a serious pressure fighter. The simple pre-fight calculation was harsh: Kelly would start fast, inevitably fade, and need rescuing in about 10 rounds.
Kelly dropped Murtazaliev in round four, was in clear control for a few rounds, then was badly hurt and dropped in the ninth round. He survived the remaining 90 seconds to the bell.
The last three rounds were close and, at the final bell, Kelly got the majority nod. Two judges went for him, a third had it a draw. It seemed right, not a scandal, just a tight fight. Not all tight decisions are robberies or dreadful verdicts; the chorus of relentless criticism of just about every verdict in a title fight is boring.
Kelly, 31, joined five other British boxers holding a variety of world title belts and has a lot of fun options from now on. He could fight the other champions at his weight and also try to entice Conor Benn, who was in New York at the weekend and was challenged by Shakur Stevenson. There is no doubting that Benn is operating at an elite level of awareness, sharing photo opportunities with the very best at the moment.

Benn is in demand, but has still never won a world title. He is looking at the various options available at welterweight, and a fight with Kelly makes sense – in part because they are both promoted by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom. Benn, who fought Chris Eubank Jr twice at middleweight (160lb) in 2025, insists he will drop back to welterweight (147lb), but a stop at super-welterweight (154lb) would fit perfectly.
Kelly, a Sunderland fan, now wants an outdoor fight at the Stadium of Light, which is both understandable and possible. At the post-fight press conference, Matchroom’s Frank Smith said: “[The club] just texted. They said: ‘Club inviting Josh into the boardroom on Monday and let’s get the fight made there.’” “Shut up,” was Kelly’s response. “Jesus Christ. That’s crazy, man.”
On Saturday night, Kelly beat the division’s most-avoided fighter and that gives him a degree of credibility. Kelly has done it the hard way, against the odds and against a very good champion. A night out under the stars against Benn would be the biggest British fight, outside of the heavyweight division, that could be made this year.
William Scull’s comeback fight did not go as planned on Saturday night.
Scull earned his shot at Canelo after claiming the vacant IBF super-middleweight title, which became available when the Mexican star vacated the belt.
He managed to take the former undisputed champion the distance in May 2025 but came up short on points.
That decision was the first loss of Scull’s career, and he had hoped to bounce back quickly once 2026 rolled around.
However, the 33-year-old has experienced a devastating start to the year.

Scull’s first fight back since facing Canelo took place on 31 January in Denmark.
At the Sydbank Arena in Kolding, ‘El Indomable’ went up against local favourite Jacob Bank for the WBO Global super-middleweight title.
The Cuban’s return did not go as planned, suffering a one-sided defeat at the hands of the unbeaten 24-year-old Dane.
After losing every round, the 33-year-old was knocked down twice in the sixth and was never able to recover.
The fight ended just 20 seconds before the final bell when Bank landed a heavy right hand that sent Scull into the ropes late in the twelfth round.
Although he managed to get back to his feet, the referee decided he could not continue and stopped the fight. It was the Dane’s third successful defence of his title.
Jacob Bank delivers KO win over William Scull, something Canelo Alvarez could not do
Scull now has two losses on his record, with this one coming by way of stoppage.
Canelo needed all 12 rounds to beat ‘El Indomable’ back in Riyadh, whereas Bank managed to finish the job before the final bell.
The fight between Alvarez and Scull drew criticism at the time for its lack of action, with Compubox recording the fewest punches thrown in a 12-round bout in over four decades.
Social media did not waste any time drawing comparisons after Bank’s win.
One fan posted: “Jacob Bank just did what Canelo Alvarez couldn’t do in 12 rounds: He put William Scull to sleep.”
Another added: “That’s how I know Canelo was washed up worse than I thought.”
A third wrote: “Canelo is so washed, that he couldn’t KO this bum.”
History is on the line when two of the most gifted boxers today face off in Madison Square Garden. Teofimo Lopez defends the WBO and Ring super lightweight titles against Shakur Stevenson, live on DAZN.
A former unified lightweight champion, Lopez (22-1) beat Josh Taylor for the WBO and Ring super lightweight belts. He has had some great moments headlining MSG’s Theater. Now, “The Takeover,” from Brooklyn, attempts to become immortalized in New York’s historic venue.
“The amount of knowledge that's been bestowed in my skills, and the amount of progress I've been creating has really made an impact. I feel very good, excited, determined, and I can't wait to display that on Saturday,” Lopez said.
Stevenson (24-0) is a three-division champion and looks to make a name for himself at 140. The Newark-born fighter, normally reserved, entertained when he took William Zepeda to the limit at Queens' Louis Armstrong Stadium. He looks to continue that momentum against a dangerous Lopez.
"The boxing ring is my comfortable place where I do extraordinary things,” Stevenson told ESPN.
Also on the card, Bruce Carrington fights for a title and Jarrell Miller finally competes inside Madison Square Garden.
The Sporting News will provide results, analysis and highlights from the entire Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson fight card.
