It looks like Floyd Mayweather’s alleged attempt at earning a quick buck has backfired.
According to TMZ , Zinni Media reportedly booked the boxing champion to make five appearances in Nigeria and Ghana in June 2017. The company allegedly was able to get Mayweather to record a video confirming his visit for $375,000.
To keep things on the up and up, Nigerian company allegedly wired $210,000 in advance. However, when it came time for Mayweather to appear, he was a no-show.
The media company alleges
Mayweather’s camp called to reschedule for December and even offered to make more appearances. However, the price would increase to $550,000. Zinni Media says they agreed to the new date and the $210,000 wired previously would cover the new appearances.
The company claims they accepted the new deal but when asked if Mayweather could make a new video announcing the new dates, he disappeared. Now Zinni Media is taking their matter to the courts. Zinni Media says they need $2 million from the undefeated champ to make the crooked matter straight.
The lawsuit, which was filed in a federal California court claims Mayweather damaged Zinni Media’s reputation and defrauded them. Two million is pocket change to Mayweather, so something tells us this will be settled quickly. (Vibe)
