Floyd Mayweather has accused two people he considered friends of stealing a combined $550 million from him. Speaking on the PBD Podcast, he said they were two separate people and named neither. The allegations have not been proven in court.
Of the first man, Mayweather said: "It was a guy who was sort of like a father figure, but he stole 350 million from me." He said the man won his trust while helping him establish his independence in boxing, and that the scale of the alleged wrongdoing emerged years later. He says he has not recovered the money.
The second, he said, was an associate who sat next to him while helping with his business and who allegedly took $200 million. Mayweather confirmed to host Patrick Bet-David that this was a different person.
The claims follow other legal disputes over his money. Mayweather is suing Showtime and its former sports president Stephen Espinoza over at least $340 million in allegedly missing earnings. A separate suit against Jona Rechnitz was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice, and Rechnitz disputed Mayweather's account. Nothing he said on the podcast ties the claims to anyone named in those cases.
