Floyd Mayweather is embroiled in legal trouble as he faces two felony charges related to allegations of using a bad check to purchase a $200,000 watch in December 2024. The charges, which include theft and intent to defraud, could result in a penalty of up to 20 years in prison, though such lengthy sentences are uncommon for this type of offense.

Court records from Nevada reveal that Mayweather issued a check for the luxury timepiece at a high-end store in Las Vegas, but lacked sufficient funds in his bank account to cover the amount. The theft charge suggests that the former boxing champion knowingly made the purchase despite being aware that the check would bounce.

Mayweather's attorney has not yet provided any comments regarding these charges. Meanwhile, Marc Cook, an attorney representing Gold & Beyond, the store involved, stated that his client filed a complaint with Nevada authorities in February after several unsuccessful attempts to resolve the payment issue with Mayweather. Cook noted, "The reason for the delay is that my guy trusted Mayweather and was trying to give him every opportunity to make good on that."

Despite his illustrious career and a record of 50-0, Mayweather is also facing financial scrutiny as the Internal Revenue Service has filed a $7.3 million lien against him for unpaid taxes, adding another layer to his current challenges.
