The company claims Mayweather ‘scammed’ them. According to TMZ, the company is suing him for skipping out on five scheduled appearances.
The company allegedly booked him for scheduled appearances in Nigeria and Ghana for $375,000.
After the deal was made, Floyd provided the company with a video confirming the appearances. He was wired a $210,000 advance, but days before his first appearance decided to bail. Zinni claims there was an offer to reschedule for December 2017, with an increased price of $550,000. The company accepted, but Mayweather once again bailed and allegedly hasn’t returned the $210K.
Zinni is now taking Mayweather to federal court in California, and asking for $2 million to set things straight.
While that’s a lot for any normal person, it’s a drop in the bucket for Mayweather who was named Forbes‘ highest-paid athlete back in June.
