Floyd Mayweather is being accused of screwing over a New York jeweler who loaned the fighter expensive diamonds.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, Eric & Co Trading Company is suing the professional fighter in federal court.
The company says Mayweather was a frequent client and had a good relationship with them until recently. Eric & Co accuses Mayweather of using his “fame and good standing” with them to take merchandise worth $389k on credit with the promise to pay him.
The only problem is they claim he has refused to cough up the dough.
The suit says Mayweather visit their Miami pop-up shop on June 5, 2021. “Due to the prior relationship between Plaintiff and Defendant, and prior dealings of similar nature,” the jeweler agreed to let Mayweather take home items without putting any money down.
The following day, a rep for Eric & Co text Mayweather the invoice for the items. The fight reportedly responded, “Thanks Family” which they took as an acknowledgment of his debt.
