A U.S. appellate court has upheld a previous ruling requiring former boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. to pay $2.4 million in damages to Zinni Media Concept Limited, a Nigerian firm.

This decision, confirmed in October 2024, stems from a breach of contract that dates back to June 2017. The contract obligated Mayweather to make appearances in Africa, including Nigeria, which he unilaterally canceled without refunding the advance payment.
Zinni Media's efforts to recover the fees led to a lawsuit filed in 2018. Initially, a California lower court ruled in October 2023 that Mayweather must pay the damages. However, Mayweather appealed this decision. On August 27, 2024, the appellate court affirmed the lower court's judgment, reinforcing the obligation for Mayweather to compensate the Nigerian firm.
Despite the clear legal mandate, Mayweather has yet to fulfill the payment, and the amount continues to accrue interest. To enforce the judgment, the court has authorized U.S. attorneys to potentially seize Mayweather's luxury vehicles, showing the ongoing enforcement efforts related to this case.
