Floyd Mayweather Sued For $2M Over Alleged Money Scheme In Nigeria
Floyd Mayweather, 41, is facing a lawsuit by a Nigerian company, Zinni Media. The company claims they had an agreement with Mayweather to make five appearances in Nigeria and Ghana in June 2017.
He reportedly agreed to the deal for $375K and received a $210K advance. Floyd Mayweather later made videos in which he confirmed he would make the appearances in the West African countries. However, a few days to the date, the flamboyant former American boxer, cancelled his appearances.
He later agreed to reschedule to December 2017 and add more appearances. However, the price was increased from $375K to $550K. They were told the $210K could be used towards the cost. Floyd Mayweather was asked to make another new video confirming his appearances. He failed to do this and didn’t repay the $210K advance he received either.
Zinni Media have filed a lawsuit against Floyd Mayweather at a federal court in California. They claim Floyd damaged their reputation and defrauded them. Zinni want at least $2M.
Mayweather was recently revealed to be the highest paid athlete in the past twelve months. He sparked a social media debate after sharing a video of his “billionaire watch” which costs $18M.
