Mayweather Sues Showtime and Ex-Sports Chief for $340 Million Over Alleged Diverted Earnings

The filing accuses the network of aiding advisor Al Haymon in routing fight payouts to his accounts, with the money still unaccounted for.

Overview

  • The California lawsuit names Showtime and former Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza as defendants, while Al Haymon is not being sued.
  • Mayweather alleges roughly $340 million from major bouts, including against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor, was funneled into accounts effectively controlled by Haymon.
  • The complaint asserts aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, civil conspiracy to commit fraud, conversion, and unjust enrichment, and it seeks punitive damages.
  • Mayweather says his team later asked for Showtime’s accounting and was told records were lost in a flood or otherwise inaccessible.
  • Showtime and Espinoza had not responded to media inquiries at the time of reporting, and the claims remain unproven in court.
