Floyd Mayweather Jr Sues Showtime for Hundreds of Millions

Floyd Mayweather Jr claims that Showtime owes him a lot of money. A lot of money.

TMZ Sports reported that Mayweather has filed a $340 lawsuit against Showtime and former president Stephen Espinoza, for misappropriating funds.

According to the complaint, Mayweather alleges that Al Haymon, his former advisor, orchestrated a “complex financial fraud scheme” to defraud him of funds he was owed. He also alleged that
Espinoza, former CEO of the now-defunct Showtime Sports, still owes him close to $20 million from his welterweight championship fight against Andre Berto in 2015.

The suit goes on to say that when members from Mayweather’s team wanted to see documents from his 2015 bout against Manny Pacquiao and his bout against MMA star Conor McGregor, they were turned away.

Allegedly, Mayweather’s reps were told by Haymon and Showtime that the documents were “lost in a flood” or “stored off-site and not readily accessible.”

Per Deadline, Paramount, Showtime’s parent company, has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. “These baseless claims lack legal or factual merit. We strongly reject them and will respond accordingly through the court process."
