Boxing icon Floyd Mayweather has been ordered by a California court to pay $2.4 million to Nigerian company Zzini Media Concept Limited after a breach of contract concerning promotional visits to African countries, including Nigeria. The legal dispute began when Mayweather failed to follow through on a 2017 agreement to tour Africa, starting with Nigeria, as per his deal with Zzini Media.

The California Court of Appeal recently upheld the lower court’s decision, ordering Mayweather to pay $1,638,542 in damages, $721,881.32 in prejudgment interest, $16,270 in attorney fees, and $285 in court costs. Despite attempts by Mayweather’s team to contest the ruling, the court found him liable for fraud and breach of contract, enforcing a financial penalty to compensate Zzini Media Concept.
