Floyd Mayweather Jr. has filed a sweeping lawsuit against Showtime. Alleging he was defrauded of hundreds of millions of dollars during the most lucrative stretch of his Hall of Fame career.
According to a report published Tuesday by TMZ, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is seeking to recover “hundreds of millions of dollars in misappropriated funds and damages resulting from a long-running and elaborate scheme of financial fraud.”
The lawsuit, filed in a California court and obtained by TMZ, accuses longtime adviser Al Haymon of misappropriating a “significant portion” of Mayweather’s career earnings nearly $340 million with the alleged “substantial participation and aid” of former Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza.
