Floyd Mayweather Jr., one of history's most successful professional boxers, is suing Showtime and a former executive at the company for $340 million, accusing them of depriving him of a "significant portion of his career earnings." The 48-year-old retired athlete alleges in the complaint that Showtime "through a complex web of hidden accounts, unauthorized transactions, and deliberate concealment of financial records," wrongly paid some of his earnings to his former manager, Al Haymon.
Maybe Mike Tyson should pick on someone his own size. Maybe Floyd Mayweather Jr. should pick on someone his own age. Maybe both men should stay retired. Or maybe we should just kick back and enjoy an unexpected but extremely intriguing contest between two all-time great boxers from different eras (and weight classes). Might as well take the last option because Tyson vs. Mayweather is happening in spring 2026.
