Nationwide — Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been ordered by a Nevada court to pay nearly $1 million in back child support after being legally declared the father of a child with a former Las Vegas strip club dancer. He must also pay monthly support and court lien enforcement.
Court records state that Paige Moorehead, who previously worked at his Las Vegas strip club, claimed she had an 8-year relationship with him before becoming pregnant in 2021, according to TMZ.
Moorehead filed a petition in June 2023 asking the court to establish legal paternity. She also alleged that Mayweather ended their relationship after learning about the pregnancy and later removed her from his business.
She further claimed he pressured her to end the pregnancy while she was still employed at his Girl Collection club. The dispute eventually escalated into a formal court case.
Mayweather failed to respond to court orders and did not take a required DNA test. Because of this, the judge issued a default ruling and legally recognized him as the father.
The court ordered him to pay $32,850 per month in child support, along with $933,050 in back payments covering years since the child’s birth.
Records show Mayweather has already paid about $151,000. The court also allowed Moorehead to place a lien of up to $2 million on his California properties to secure the remaining balance
