US court orders Mayweather to pay Nigerian company ₦4.2m as fine

Published

US court orders Mayweather to pay Nigerian company ₦4.2m as fine. In the court documents sighted by Turo247newz, the court of appeal of the State of California upheld the lower court ruling, which found Mayweather guilty of breach of contract agreement.
The company had entered into an agreement with the former world champion requiring him to make different appearances in Africa, including one in Nigeria in June 2017.
However, the pugilist didn’t fulfil the agreement but instead terminated it without cause and refused to reimburse the advance payment made by the company for the service.
Despite attempts by the Chief Executive Officer Zinni, Prince Donatus Okonkwo, to seek an amicable reimbursement from Mayweather, the boxer and his initial legal representatives argued that he could not make any refund because the company was outside of the U.S. jurisdiction.

Consequently, the company sued the American and in a judgement delivered on October 31, 2023, the lower court ordered him to pay Zinni $1,638,542 in damages, $721,881.32 in prejudgment interest, $16,270 in sanctioned attorney fees, as well as $285 in costs.
Dissatisfied with the judgement, Mayweather filed an appeal but the California Court of Appeal upheld the lower court ruling in a judgement on August 27, 2024.
Reacting to the judgement in a statement, the company’s media executive, Alex Nwankwo, said the appellate court found merit in the lower court ruling, which found Mayweather guilty.
“After several unsuccessful attempts to recover the appearance fees from the American boxer, the company instituted a legal action against Mayweather in 2018 where it alleged breach of contract, unjust enrichment and fraud against the former champion.
”We are grateful that two courts have granted a prayer by Zinni Media Ltd to impose terminating sanctions against Mayweather,” the statement partly read.
The statement noted despite the ruling of the court of appeal and finality on the case, Mayweather had still refused to pay the judgment money which continues to grow at 10% per annum.
In a bid to enforce the judgement, the court has gone ahead to instruct US attorneys to target Mayweather’s 2015 Bugatti GSV or his 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, both valued over the judgment amount, Zinni Media Ltd further stated in its release.
“We have already defeated Mayweather and his attorneys on numerous occasions during the proceedings so the enforcement of the judgement will be duly applied.
“Our forensic investigators have also uncovered a substantial number of Mayweather’s valued assets showing that he was very successful but clearly overstating his true net worth”, the statement added.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari was laid to rest on Tuesday, July 15, at his residence in Daura, Katsina State, drawing an emotional close to a chapter in Nigeria’s political history.
The late President’s body arrived in Nigeria from the United Kingdom earlier in the day and was received with full state honours at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport, Katsina.
President Bola Tinubu, who flew in from Abuja, arrived at 1:42 p.m. and was on hand to personally receive the remains of his predecessor.
A guard of honour was mounted for the Commander-in-Chief, shortly before the Nigerian Air Force plane transporting Buhari’s body touched down at 1:51 p.m.

According to family sources, the body was first taken to Buhari’s Daura residence, where his immediate family and close relatives offered a private farewell.
A few solemn moments were observed before the casket was moved to the community’s central prayer ground for the final rites.
“It was a dignified and peaceful farewell,” a family member told reporters. “We are grateful he returned home and was buried according to his wishes.”
Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s President from 2015 to 2023, died in a London hospital on Sunday, 13 July 2025, after a prolonged illness.
His passing triggered tributes from global leaders and Nigerians across political divides.
