Nevada court records indicated the legendary boxer is facing two felony charges, \u201ctheft, value $100,000 or greater\u201d and \u201cdraw or pass check with intent to defraud, value $1,200 or greater,\u201d according to ESPN. Clark County prosecutors alleged Mayweather issued a $200,000 Wells Fargo check to the Las Vegas entity Gold and Beyond on Dec. 31, 2024. He allegedly \u201chad insufficient money, property, or credit\u201d to fully cover his purchase. A copy of the receipt for an Audemars Piguet watch reportedly bought on Dec. 25, 2024, was obtained by the outlet.<\/p>\n

Mayweather allegedly wrote the check \u201cin exchange for obtaining property or services\u201d while \u201cknowing that the check would not be paid when presented.\u201d He did so \u201cknowingly, feloniously, and without lawful authority,\u201d according to the court records.<\/p>\n

If convicted on the fraud charge, Mayweather may spend up to four years behind bars, according to ESPN. Felony theft convictions in Nevada carry prison terms of up to 20 years behind bars.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors reportedly submitted the original criminal complaint April 27 which was followed by a court order that the legendary boxer appear at court.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mayweather\u2019s legal team represented him in Clark County court Monday.<\/p>\n

Marc Cook, a lawyer for Cook & Kelesis, which represents Gold and Beyond, issued a statement Tuesday to ESPN.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason for the delay is that my guy trusted Mayweather and was trying to give him every opportunity to make good on that,\u201d Cook said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cAnd it got to the point where he wasn\u2019t getting responses and wasn\u2019t getting money for a watch that Mayweather had for well over a year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adrian Lobo, a lawyer for Mayweather, pushed back against the allegations in a statement to ESPN also issued Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Lobo asserted that this matter should not be in criminal court. She also said Mayweather had a longstanding business relationship with the proprietor of Gold and Beyond and \u201chad absolutely no intent to defraud\u201d the store.<\/p>\n
