Retired boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is facing a fresh legal dispute, with a Miami-based jeweller alleging that the former fighter owes more than US$1.3 million for luxury items.
AJ’s Jewellery, a long-established retailer in Palmetto Bay, has filed a lawsuit in Miami-Dade County court claiming Mayweather failed to pay the outstanding balance on a series of high-end purchases made in August 2025. According to court filings, the jeweller alleges that Mayweather left the store with 26 luxury watches and 15 gold Cuban-link chains valued at approximately US$1.675 million.
The dispute was first reported by Miami New Times, which cited legal documents stating that Mayweather made partial payments totalling US$300,000 through wire transfers. The retailer claims the remaining balance of roughly US$1.375 million remains unpaid.
In its complaint, AJ’s Jewellery alleges that multiple attempts were made to recover the funds, including repeated verbal and written requests. The filing further claims that several cheques issued by Mayweather between August and November were returned due to insufficient funds.
The lawsuit adds to a series of recent legal challenges involving the former world champion. Mayweather is also reportedly involved in a rental dispute in Manhattan, where landlords allege unpaid rent on a luxury penthouse residence. Separately, another Miami jeweller has filed a federal case alleging that Mayweather defaulted on a prior settlement agreement related to unpaid jewellery purchases.
Mayweather has not publicly responded to the latest Miami lawsuit. However, he recently initiated legal action of his own, filing a high-value claim against Showtime Networks, alleging financial misconduct tied to his boxing earnings. The broadcaster has not issued a detailed public response to those allegations.
During his career, Mayweather became one of boxing’s highest-earning athletes, generating substantial revenue from marquee bouts, including fights against Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao.
Legal proceedings in the jewellery dispute are ongoing.
