Scandals have never been far from Floyd Mayweather, but this latest situation has placed the retired boxer in an uncomfortable spotlight both personally and legally. Already criticized by some fans for owning strip clubs in Las Vegas, Mayweather is now dealing with a court ruling that has raised new questions about his private life and responsibilities as a father.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, a judge officially declared the former undefeated champion the father of four-year-old Price Moorehead, a child reportedly conceived during a relationship with one of the dancers from Girl Collection, the nightclub Mayweather owns in Las Vegas. The decision reportedly came after Mayweather failed to comply with multiple court orders, including requests to take a DNA test.
A costly ruling tied to a long legal battle
The court ruling means Mayweather has been ordered to pay $1 million in back child support, along with monthly payments of $33,000. Reports indicate he was served legal papers twice but did not respond, leading the judge to issue a default judgment establishing paternity.
The child’s mother reportedly stated in legal filings that she had an intimate relationship with the former boxer for eight years before he learned about the pregnancy in 2021. Rumors surrounding the case also claim Mayweather suggested she terminate the pregnancy after finding out she was expecting.
The situation reportedly became even more complicated after the dancer allegedly lost her job at the nightclub, where she had worked for four years. While there is no confirmation connecting her dismissal directly to the pregnancy, the timing has fueled speculation around the case.
Another scandal ahead of Mayweather’s comeback plans
The ruling adds another layer to Mayweather’s ongoing legal controversies at a time when he has continued teasing a return to boxing through exhibition events and public appearances. For someone who regularly showcases his wealth and luxury lifestyle, the financial side of the ruling is unlikely to affect him heavily, but the public reaction surrounding the case has placed fresh attention on his image outside the ring.
Even years after retirement, Mayweather continues to generate headlines beyond boxing, and this latest development has quickly become one of the most talked-about stories connected to the former world champion.
