Breitbart:
Documents made public seems to show that boxing great Floyd Mayweather owes the IRS $22.5 million on his 2015 taxes.
According to a lien filed by the Internal Revenue Service, the boxer still owes on his big payday from the Manny Pacquiao fight, ESPN reports.
The federal tax agency filed the lien against Mayweather with county officials in Las Vegas, according to reports. Mayweather responded by filing for a temporary reprieve with the U.S. Tax Court.
Mayweather also jumped to his Instagram account to insist that his “empire” is still financially solid.
“Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear, especially when it comes to media in this country,” the boxer wrote on a July 18 Instagram post.
“While everyone is counting my money and assuming the worst,” Mayweather added, “these are the facts… Uncle Sam, received $26,000,000.00 from me in 2015! What else could they possibly want?” MORE
48.5 million sounds about right.
Has it ever seemed that the little guy that pays their taxes does so quietly even though a buck means a lot more to them than to a Mayweather or just about any other celebrity that is all of a sudden bankrupt or owes the IRS millions who starts screaming on how unfair life is to them. I don’t know Mayweather’s full story here but it strikes me that the IRS would make sure all their i’s are dotted and t’s crossed before they toss a lien on a high-profile celebrity property. It’s not as if somebody at the local IRS office is going to open a dusty drawer and find a check. Buck up and pay what you owe Floyd and maybe get better accountants.
The idea that the government believes they have the right to confiscate 22.5 million dollars of anyone’s wealth is disgusting and repulsive. Meanwhile, wealthy politicians pay next to nothing.
Hey Floyd,
Check with Sharpton & Sharpton Tax evasion service.
You need a good shyster….Sharpton is your guy !
So when are they going after Sharpton?
Flat tax.
If 10% is good enough for the baby Jesus, It’s good enough for our government plus it puts the slime in DC on an allowance and if they want more money, they can promote wealth building in this nation instead of profiteering from trade agreements etc… just my 2 cents.
This next PHONY-BALONEY exhibition “fight” with McGregor is a tax-pay-off dance.
Both know McGregor has ZERO chance against a professional boxer, but they go through the hype motions, try to wipe this turd up into a frenzy for a big PAYDAY.
It’s all fake. I’m not paying a penny to watch this shit-show. I’ll watch on youtube in about a month.
I owe $600 and have till October to pay it off or start page fines…..(never tap into your 401k)…..
“Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear, especially when it comes to media in this country,”
I believe completely that Koskinen is still there, too. Not going to slam Mayweather just yet.
I doubt this punk-assed nigga ever voted but if he did, he would have voted for Bernie Sanders and his 90% TAX RATE!
I am so tired of these ignorant bastards lecturing me about NOT PAYING MY FAIR SHARE!
AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! 🙁
Nope. He’s a Trump supporter, last I read.
The rascal probably baught his 300+ lbs of gold neckwear on amazon thus avoiding taxation.
” Uncle Sam, received $26,000,000.00 from me in 2015! What else could they possibly want?”
The rest of it, silly!
This is the stupedist fight since ‘Ali-Alzado’….it’s a complete show…..Conor can’t touch him and Mayweather hasn’t knocked out a Moth in 5 years….they’re aiming for a sad three match payoff…
The IRS should be banned from any law enforcement duties or the seizure of assets without a court order!
I still hope McGregor stomps his ass.
I’d like to be in the position of owing the taxman $22.5 Million!
Write em a check – or claim that you’re a preacher and don’t own anything (like Revrum Al, Revrum Jesse, Revrum “Sweet Daddy”, &c., &c., &c.).
