Floyd Mayweather Ordered to Pay Major Child Support in Case Involving Former Dancer

A Nevada court has officially ordered Floyd Mayweather to pay nearly $1 million in back child support, alongside ongoing monthly payments exceeding $32,000. The ruling follows a legal process that successfully established the boxing icon as the father of a four-year-old girl, identified in court records as Price Moorehead.

The legal developments, which were detailed in documents obtained by TMZ, represent the culmination of a case that has been unfolding in Las Vegas for several years. The child is now recognized as Mayweather’s fifth. According to the court’s decision issued in March 2026, the monthly child support obligation was set at $32,850, with total arrears calculated at $933,050.

Legal Background and Default Judgment

The case was initiated by Paige Moorehead, a former employee at Mayweather’s “Girl Collection” strip club. Moorehead sought to establish paternity in 2023, roughly two years after the child’s birth in December 2021. In her filings, Moorehead alleged that she and Mayweather shared a long-term personal relationship that abruptly ended once she disclosed her pregnancy. Her legal team also raised allegations regarding workplace pressure and the subsequent termination of her employment, though these specific claims were not resolved through trial testimony.

Ultimately, the court issued a default judgment against the athlete. Records indicate that while Mayweather was served with legal notices and directed to undergo a DNA test, he did not participate in the proceedings, leading the court to move forward without his direct input.

Enforcement and Financial Implications

The court has taken active steps to ensure the financial obligations are met. While the judge noted that partial payments totaling approximately $151,000 had been made, a significant balance remains outstanding. To secure the remaining debt, the court authorized a lien of up to $2 million on a California property tied to Mayweather’s assets, providing a mechanism for enforcement should the payments remain in arrears.

This legal ruling coincides with a busy period for the former champion, who continues to maintain a rigorous schedule of exhibition bouts. Mayweather is currently slated to face Mike Zambidis in Greece on June 27, followed by a highly anticipated rematch with Manny Pacquiao on September 26. Additionally, reports suggest an exhibition match involving Mike Tyson is in the works for later this year. As these high-profile events approach, the intersection of his professional boxing career and his growing legal and financial commitments remains a point of public interest.
