Floyd Mayweather Jr. has once again found himself dealing with financial complications, as reports indicate ongoing issues with unpaid taxes. Despite earning an estimated $1.15 billion across his career, the former world champion is now facing renewed scrutiny over his finances.
According to recent filings, the IRS has placed a lien worth $7.3 million against Mayweather in Las Vegas, tied to unpaid taxes from 2018 and 2023. The notice reportedly showed the amount remained outstanding as of late March, and no official comment has been made from his legal team so far. Through such a lien, the U.S. government has the authority to claim assets or property until the debt is settled.
This isn’t the first time Floyd Mayweather has faced similar issues. In previous years, he was hit with a $22.5 million lien related to 2015 taxes and another $7.2 million linked to 2010. While those situations were eventually resolved, the latest development adds to a growing pattern that continues to raise questions.

Floyd Mayweather set to return to boxing again
The timing is also notable. These reports come amid wider speculation about Mayweather’s financial position, despite his reputation as one of the highest-earning athletes in history. His spending habits and business ventures have often been discussed, but the repeated tax complications suggest ongoing challenges behind the scenes.

Earlier this year, Mayweather also took legal action against Showtime Networks, alleging that $340 million had been mishandled during their previous partnership. That lawsuit added another layer to the uncertainty surrounding his financial dealings.
Not long after filing the case, Floyd Mayweather made headlines again by announcing a return to professional boxing after nearly nine years away. The undefeated fighter, who holds a record of 50-0 with 27 knockouts, is expected to face Manny Pacquiao in a high-profile rematch scheduled for September 19 in Las Vegas, with the event reportedly tied to Netflix.
However, even that fight has seen mixed signals. Pacquiao has suggested that initial payments have already been made, while Mayweather himself has publicly questioned the nature of the bout, at one point describing it as an exhibition and casting doubt over key details.
Before that potential clash, Floyd Mayweather is also linked to exhibition bouts against Mike Tyson and Mike Zambidis in separate international events.
With legal battles, tax concerns, and a possible return to the ring all unfolding at once, Mayweather remains in the spotlight, though not entirely for the reasons that defined his career.
