Floyd Mayweather Jr. is facing a new legal battle after a judge reportedly declared him the father of a four-year-old girl and ordered him to pay nearly $1 million in back child support.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, the retired boxing champion was legally declared the father of Price Moorehead in March 2026. The child’s mother, Paige Moorehead, had asked a Nevada court to establish Mayweather as the child’s legal father after filing a paternity petition in June 2023.
The ruling also comes with a major financial order. Mayweather has reportedly been ordered to pay $32,850 per month in child support, along with $933,050 in back support. Reports have rounded that figure to nearly $1 million, adding another high-profile legal issue to the boxer’s already busy year.
The judgment was reportedly issued by default after Mayweather failed to respond to the paternity case. TMZ Sports reported that he had been served twice and was also ordered to take a DNA test, but did not comply before the court moved forward with the ruling.
Paige Moorehead, who previously worked as a dancer at Mayweather’s Las Vegas club Girl Collection, reportedly claimed she had been in an intimate relationship with the boxer for eight years. She alleged that Mayweather ended the relationship after learning she was pregnant in April 2021.
She also claimed Mayweather pressured her to terminate the pregnancy and later fired her from the club, where she had worked for four years. Those claims have not been publicly addressed by Mayweather.
The court has also reportedly acknowledged that Mayweather has paid around $151,000 toward what he owes. Because of the remaining balance, Paige Moorehead has been allowed to place a lien of up to $2 million on property Mayweather owns in California, according to reports.
The case marks another personal headline for Mayweather, whose public image has long been tied to his wealth, undefeated boxing record and lavish lifestyle. The retired fighter, now 49, is widely known for leaning into the “Money” persona that helped make him one of boxing’s most commercially successful figures.
So far, Mayweather has not publicly commented on the reported paternity judgment or the child support order. For now, the case adds a serious legal development to a year already filled with headlines around his finances, family life and possible future in the ring.
