Floyd Mayweather is facing two felony charges in Las Vegas stemming from allegations that he used a bad check to buy a luxury watch worth about $200,000. Multiple outlets report that prosecutors charge him with theft and “intent to defraud,” tied to a transaction at a Las Vegas luxury resale store in December 2024. The check is described as having insufficient funds, with the purchase said to involve an Audemars Piguet watch. If convicted, the theft charge carries a lengthy prison exposure, with outlets citing penalties up to around 20 years, and Fox News additionally noting a maximum total of up to 24 years. Mayweather is represented by legal counsel, and at least one report says his attorney has not publicly commented. The case involves court appearances, with one outlet reporting he appears through counsel at a hearing and is scheduled for another hearing in September. The allegations add to a broader record of Mayweather legal and financial disputes reported by some outlets, alongside mention of an upcoming exhibition event.
