Mayweather Faces Passport Loss Over Tax Debt
3 May
Summary
- Mayweather owes over $7.25 million in unpaid taxes to the IRS.
- His US passport is at risk of revocation if the debt isn't settled.
- Upcoming exhibition bout in Athens may be jeopardized.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is reportedly at risk of losing his U.S. passport due to an outstanding tax debt of over $7.25 million. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has allegedly notified the boxing icon of its intention to inform the U.S. Department of State if the debt remains unresolved.
This potential passport revocation, initiated in late March, could impact Mayweather's scheduled exhibition bout against Mike Zambidis on June 27 in Athens. The 49-year-old has options to prevent sanctions, including settling the debt, negotiating payment plans, or proving financial hardship.
This situation adds to a growing list of financial and legal issues for Mayweather in 2026. He is also facing lawsuits for unpaid rent and a private jet charter, and has reportedly begun selling assets. Mayweather has also sued Showtime Networks, claiming they owe him substantial funds.
