Floyd Mayweather faces felony charges over bounced check for luxury watch
Summary

Floyd Mayweather is facing two felony criminal charges stemming from a 2024 incident involving a bounced $200,000 check used to buy an Audemars Piguet watch. The charges, which include theft and passing a check with intent to defraud, were brought by Gold and Beyond after Mayweather allegedly failed to pay despite knowing he had insufficient funds.

Mayweather was not present at a recent court hearing, though his attorney appeared on his behalf.
