Floyd Mayweather Jr. faces US passport revocation after the IRS notified him in late March 2026 of a “seriously delinquent” $7.25 million tax debt from 2018 and 2023, potentially jeopardizing his June 27 exhibition bout against Mike Zambidis in Athens.
He can avoid it by paying in full, negotiating an installment plan with the DOJ, proving financial hardship or identity theft, or filing for bankruptcy.
The 49-year-old boxing icon, who earned over $1 billion in his career, recently sold assets like his Gulfstream jet and mansions in Beverly Hills and Miami to raise cash amid mounting legal woes.
These include a February 2026 lawsuit for $330,000 unpaid rent on a NYC condo, a $105,690 jet charter dispute, and a $340 million fraud suit against Showtime (dismissed as baseless by Paramount), filed earlier this year.
A March 2026 IRS lien in Las Vegas underscores the tax issues, with reports noting prior debts like $22 million from 2015 have compounded his financial scrutiny.
The passport action, if enacted via the State Department, would bar international travel.
