Nevada Court Orders Floyd Mayweather Jr. to Pay Child Support

A Nevada court has legally declared retired boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. the father of a four-year-old child, ordering him to pay nearly $1 million in child support. The ruling, issued in March 2026, establishes Mayweather as the legal father of a girl born in December 2021.

The child’s mother, Paige Moorehead, filed a paternity petition in June 2023. According to court documents, Moorehead stated she and Mayweather were involved in a long-term relationship for approximately eight years. She alleged the relationship ended after she informed Mayweather of her pregnancy in April 2021 and that he later dismissed her from her position at Girl Collection, a Las Vegas strip club he owns, where she had worked for several years.

The court entered a default judgment establishing paternity after Mayweather failed to comply with multiple court directives. Records indicate he was served with paperwork twice and did not submit to a requested DNA test or respond to the proceedings. As a result, the judge ruled against him by default.

The financial judgment requires Mayweather to pay approximately $933,050 in back child support and $32,850 per month in ongoing support. Court records...
