Floyd Mayweather Owes Over $1 Million in Child Support

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is learning an expensive lesson about accountability. In March 2026, a Nevada judge legally declared the 49-year-old fighter the father of a 4-year-old girl, ordering him to pay $32,850 monthly in child support plus nearly $1 million in back payments—a financial obligation that’s now forcing the former champion to face real consequences.

Here’s what led to this courtroom showdown: Paige Moorehead, a dancer who worked at Mayweather’s Girl Collection strip club in Las Vegas, was in what she describes as a long-term intimate relationship with Mayweather that lasted eight years. When she became pregnant in April 2021, she claims Mayweather pressured her to get an abortion and ultimately fired her from the club where she’d worked for four years. The child was born in December 2021, and Moorehead spent years trying to get Mayweather to acknowledge paternity before finally turning to the courts in June 2023.

Mayweather’s response to the legal process was telling: he ignored two separate court orders to appear and ducked the mandatory DNA test. A judge, fed up with the stonewalling, issued a default judgment in March 2026 declaring him the father. It’s a stark reversal for a man accustomed to controlling narratives and outcomes. So far, he’s only paid about $151,000 of the roughly $1.08 million he owes, which prompted the court to authorize a lien of up to $2 million against his California property—insurance that Moorehead will get paid.

This marks Mayweather’s fifth child, and the judgment signals something bigger than one custody case. It shows that even wealth and celebrity can’t insulate someone from legal responsibility when they ignore court orders. The lien on his property is essentially a message: dodge accountability, and the system will come collect. For a man who built his brand on being“the best ever,”this is a reality check wrapped in a seven-figure bill.

What does this mean for Mayweather’s future financial picture? With $32,850 a month in ongoing support obligations, this isn’t a one-time settlement—it’s a permanent dent in his empire. And for Moorehead, it’s vindication after years of fighting alone.
