Floyd Mayweather Jr. faces a new lawsuit alleging he failed to pay a $105,690 bill for a private jet charter to Turks and Caicos in September. The case, filed in Los Angeles County, also names his jewelry consultant Jona Rechnitz and others as defendants. Jet Set Aircraft claims the group refused payment for the flight.
Lawsuit Details and Allegations
The complaint states Rechnitz knew Mayweather often accepted goods and services without paying. It accuses the defendants of anticipating Mayweather would skip this bill too. Jet Set Aircraft demands the full amount plus punitive damages to be determined at trial.
Rechnitz’s Background
Rechnitz, who serves celebrities including Mayweather, pleaded guilty to honest services fraud in 2016 for bribing officials. He testified against co-conspirators and earned praise as an ‘important and prolific white collar cooperating’ witness from a U.S. attorney.
Pattern of Legal Challenges
This suit follows three February cases over unpaid rent and jewelry debts worth millions. One involved a $4 million settlement dispute with a Florida jeweler, also naming Rechnitz. A New York City condo owner sued for $330,000 in back rent after Mayweather signed a lease in December 2024 but stopped payments in July 2025.
During that period, Mayweather posted social media photos from a private jet, surrounded by cash stacks, captioned: ‘I just be minding my business!’
Financial Pressures Mount
The boxing icon, who earned $1 billion in his career, faces a $7.3 million IRS lien for unpaid taxes. In December, he sold his Gulfstream jet, Air Mayweather, plus mansions in Beverly Hills and Miami. Mayweather also sued Showtime for at least $340 million in alleged fraud; Paramount, its owner, calls the claim baseless.
Eyes Ring Return
Mayweather plans an exhibition against 59-year-old Mike Tyson, followed by an official bout with 47-year-old Manny Pacquiao. Their 2015 fight ended in a unanimous decision win for Mayweather, despite Pacquiao’s shoulder injury, generating $600 million.
