For a man nicknamed "Money," Floyd Mayweather might want to consider using some of his cash to pay the government. The IRS says the boxer still owes $22.2 million in taxes from 2015, the year he earned his biggest payday with a blockbuster fight against Manny Pacquiao.
This federal tax lien is just the latest filed by the IRS against Mayweather over the past decade, and comes as he gets ready to come out of retirement to fight against Irish MMA star Conor McGregor in August.
Meanwhile, watching the mega-fight between McGregor and Mayweather isn't going to be cheap.
According to the "Los Angeles Times", the pay-per-view price for the bout will be 89 dollars and 95 cents. Fans will have to shell out another 10 dollars to view the fight in HD. The pricing is the same as the May 2015 match between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, which brought in over 400-million dollars in pay-per-view sales.
Mayweather-McGregor takes place on Saturday, August 26 in Las Vegas.
