Pay Yo Bills: Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Ordered To Pay Manny $114K!!!

Pay Yo Bills: Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Ordered To Pay Manny $114K!!!

You think Floyd’s having a bad week? The boxer was a no show for questioning from Manny’s lawyers and the Judge smacked Money-Lovin’ Floyd with the high amount…roughly $133k in legal fees and $774 in costs.

Apparently Pacquiao felt Mayweather crossed the line when the fighter accused him of using performance-enhancing drugs. Manny filed in 2009 and has denied the claims since day one.

According to ESPN, Pacquiao’s team defended their suit:

“Calling a professional athlete a cheater is the most serious charge one can make,” the lawsuit said. “Accusing an athlete of using performance-enhancing drugs — however baseless and lacking in evidence — is toxic.”

Floyd got the news while he’s dealing with two other issues:

He was caught in a domestic dispute with his ex, (and Mother of one of his daughter’s), Melissa Brim and his Boy arch nemesis 50 Cent has been tweeting pics and boasting about his new collab with Manny Pacquiao!

Looks like all that Ego is catching up to this dude.
