Overview
- Floyd Mayweather filed a fraud and unjust enrichment lawsuit in Los Angeles against Showtime and former Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza, seeking recovery of at least $340 million plus punitive damages.
- He alleges payouts from marquee events including Manny Pacquiao in 2015 and Conor McGregor in 2017 were diverted into accounts controlled by longtime adviser Al Haymon, who is not named as a defendant.
- The complaint cites legal claims of aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, civil conspiracy to commit fraud, conversion, and unjust enrichment.
- Mayweather’s new management says Showtime told them in 2024 that key accounting records for those pay-per-views were “lost in a flood” or stored off-site and not readily accessible.
- The suit also claims roughly $20 million remains unpaid from the 2015 Andre Berto bout, with court proceedings and discovery expected to focus on contracts, payment flows, and disputed records.
