Floyd Mayweather Jr., the 49-year-old former five-division world boxing champion, is charged with theft of $100,000 or more and fraud with intent to obtain $1,200 or more by uttering or using a check.
Sports.Biz reports that the Clark County District Attorney's office filed the initial criminal charges on April 27 and obtained a court order for Mayweather to appear before a judge three days later. His attorney's statement on Monday appears to be in line with this decision.
The complaint alleges that on December 31, 2024, Mayweather wrote a $200,000 check from his Wells Fargo bank account to Gold and Beyond, a high-end resale boutique in Las Vegas. The complaint also alleges that Mayweather wrote the check even though he had insufficient funds, property, or credit in his account to cover the full payment.
The theft charge alleges that Mayweather wrote the check in exchange for goods or services, knowing that it would not be paid when presented. The complaint alleges that Mayweather did this intentionally, criminally, and without legal authority.
According to Nevada law, if convicted of the fraud charge, Mayweather could face one to four years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000, plus costs. For grand larceny, he could face one to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000.
