Floyd Mayweather Jr. Faces Two Felony Charges Over $200,000 Watch
floyd mayweather jr. is facing two felony charges in Nevada over a $200,000 watch purchase at Gold and Beyond in Las Vegas. Prosecutors say the case centers on an Audemars Piguet bought on December 25, 2024.
The charges are theft, value $100,000 or greater, and draw or pass check with intent to defraud, value $1,200 or greater. His counsel attended a Clark County Court hearing on Monday in his absence.
Las Vegas Watch Purchase
The complaint says Mayweather purchased the watch knowing the check would not be paid when presented. It also alleges he provided the check knowing he had insufficient money, property, or credit in the account to cover the balance.
The store’s attorneys said the complaint was filed in February after a delay while Gold and Beyond tried to get paid for a watch that Mayweather had for well over a year. “The reason for the delay is that my guy trusted Mayweather and was trying to give him every opportunity to make good on that. And it got to the point where he wasn't getting responses and wasn't getting money for a watch that Mayweather had for well over a year.”
Clark County Court Hearing
The Nevada case adds to a run of legal and financial problems around Mayweather. In March 2026, a judge ordered him to pay $1 million in back child support, and he also has a reported $7 million tax debt.
Prosecutors charged him with theft, value $100,000 or greater, and draw or pass check with intent to defraud, value $1,200 or greater. Those charges leave the complaint tied to the purchase itself, not a broader dispute over the watch’s value or style.
Mayweather's Legal Pressure
The filing also lands while he is already dealing with other reported disputes, including a suit against his former business manager and a $340 million suit against Showtime. For readers following the case, the immediate development is simple: the watch purchase has now become a criminal matter in Nevada, with felony counts attached to a December 25, 2024 transaction.
