Floyd Mayweather Is Getting Absolutely Fleeced Again: $33K a Month Child Support to a Stripper + $175 Million Fraud Lawsuit Over His Own Jet and Jewelry
Floyd Mayweather is back in the news for all the wrong reasons — and this time it’s not a boxing match.
The man who once called himself “Money” is now facing two fresh financial disasters that are draining him even further of money he apparently doesn’t have. First, a judge just ordered him to pay $33,000 a month in child support plus nearly a million dollars in back pay after fathering a daughter with a stripper who worked at his own club. Second, Floyd is now suing a former close associate for $175 million in fraud, claiming the guy ran off with his jewelry, his private jet, and millions in unauthorized transfers.
And the wildest part? The guy he’s suing is a known fraudster Floyd chose to trust with literally everything.
Let’s break it down.
The Child Support Bombshell
In March 2026 a judge officially declared Floyd Mayweather Jr. the father of a 4-year-old girl named Price Morehead. The mother, a stripper who worked at Mayweather’s own Girl Collection club for four years, says they were in a long-term intimate relationship that lasted eight years — until she got pregnant in April 2021.
According to court documents, Floyd pressured her to get an abortion and then fired her when she refused. Real stand-up guy.
He has only paid about $151,000 of what he owes. The judge ruled the mother can place a lien of up to $2 million on property owned by Mayweather in California to make sure the child gets what she’s owed.
The $175 Million Fraud Lawsuit
At the same time, Floyd is suing Jonah Reknit — a longtime friend he once publicly defended — for at least $175 million.
According to the lawsuit, Reknit spent years gaining Floyd’s trust, then became his de facto money manager, real estate guy, and banking middleman. Floyd claims Reknit orchestrated a years-long scheme that drained his bank accounts, hijacked real estate deals, pawned off his jewelry, and even made his private Gulfstream jet disappear.
The details are almost unbelievable:
- Roughly $100 million worth of bling was handed over to Miami jewelers for only about $13 million in return.
- A huge chunk of the collection is still sitting with the dealers.
- Floyd says he unknowingly signed paperwork transferring ownership of his private jet with the buyer section left completely blank.
- He wired $7.5 million into what he thought was an investment deal — the investment never happened and the money vanished.
- Another $15 million tied to a real estate settlement was transferred out without his permission.
Floyd alleges Reknit falsely presented himself as a top executive of VA Properties despite never holding those positions.
The Man Who Trusted a Known Fraudster With Everything
This is the part that’s almost comical if it weren’t so sad.
Jonah Reknit had previously pleaded guilty in 2016 for his role in a major NYPD corruption scandal involving prostitutes and private jets. He was a top donor to Mayor Bill de Blasio. Yet Floyd trusted him 100% — as he publicly stated in a 2025 interview while defending the guy.
Floyd handed over control of his finances, his real estate, his jewelry, and even his private jet to a man with a documented fraud history.
The narrator puts it bluntly: if you need a money manager who isn’t a certified professional accountant, a real estate guy who isn’t a certified agent, and a “banking middleman” (whatever that means), you either have no idea what you’re doing with money or you don’t care to do any due diligence.
Floyd’s Pattern of Financial Illiteracy
This isn’t new. Floyd has been involved in multiple lawsuits accusing longtime adviser Al Haymon and Showtime of stealing from him. He has a history of scamming others in boxing deals, crypto promotions, and more — yet he keeps getting taken himself.
The man made hundreds of millions in the ring and still somehow ends up in this position. He’s fighting three times this year, reportedly because he needs the money. His gambling addiction and poor financial decisions have caught up to him in spectacular fashion.
The Bottom Line
Floyd Mayweather is one of the greatest boxers who ever lived. Outside the ring, he has proven time and again that he is financially illiterate — possibly even actually illiterate, as 50 Cent once claimed.
He trusted the wrong people with everything. He signed blank paperwork transferring ownership of a private jet. He let a known fraudster handle his jewelry, his investments, and his bank accounts.
And now he’s paying $33,000 a month in child support to a woman he got pregnant at his own strip club — after pressuring her to get an abortion and firing her when she refused.
You can separate the art from the artist when it comes to boxing. Floyd was elite. But the man himself has shown a staggering lack of judgment when it comes to money, relationships, and basic due diligence.
