Floyd Mayweather quietly became a father for the fifth time. And until recently, very few people even knew the child existed. The legendary boxer was legally declared the father of a 4-year-old girl in March 2026, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports.

“The court finds that Floyd Mayweather, Jr., is the father of Price Moorehead,” wrote the judge in charge of the case.

The outlet also reported that the court ordered Mayweather to pay $32,850 per month in child support. And he is also asked to pay $933,050 in back support for the amount he already owes. Even though the news was revealed just recently, the court proceedings on the matter were ongoing since June 2023.

The child’s mother, Paige Moorehead, had urged a Nevada court to legally recognize Floyd Mayweather as the father of her child, who was born in December 2021 and was 18 months old at the time of the filing in June 2023. Moorehead claimed she was in a long-term relationship with Mayweather.

According to court documents, their relationship lasted for eight years until she claims the retired boxer broke things off with her after finding out about her pregnancy in April 2021. She claimed Mayweather initially pressured her to get an abortion, and when she refused, he ultimately fired her from his strip club in Las Vegas. Morehead had worked at Mayweather’s Girl Collection for four years before her firing.

As such, during the court proceedings, Mayweather was served the legal papers twice and ordered by the judge to take a DNA test, but he blew them off both times. Since the defendant had failed to respond to court orders, the judge issued a default judgment on the matter in March 2026, declaring Floyd Mayweather the father of the child.

According to TMZ Sports, Floyd Mayweather had paid only $151,000 of the nearly $1 million ($933,050 in retroactive support since the 2021 birth) he owed to Moorehead in child support. As a result, a judge reportedly allowed Moorehead to place a lien of up to $2 million on Mayweather’s California property, to help secure future payments. Now, if he fails to pay up the money he owes in child support, he could risk losing the property.

Floyd Mayweather already had four children with two different women, Josie Harris and Melissa Brim. Moorehead’s four-year-old daughter is therefore Mayweather’s fifth child.

The recent case surrounding the 50-0 boxer’s strip club echoes a different one from a couple of years ago.

Floyd Mayweather was sued by his dancers, then faced losing the club over $52K in unpaid taxes 

In late 2024, Floyd Mayweather found himself dealing with serious controversy outside the ring after two dancers from his strip club filed a lawsuit against him. One of the women, Jasmine Woodward, alleged that Mayweather slapped her during an argument over unpaid wages at the club in April 2023.

According to the lawsuit, Woodward confronted Mayweather after claiming she had not been properly paid for several shifts. She alleged the former champion slapped her in front of customers and dancers before later mocking her reaction by saying she “could not take a joke.” 

Another dancer, Brittany Strauss, joined the lawsuit, with both women accusing the club of withholding tips and failing to pay minimum wages. Mayweather strongly denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit a “legal shakedown.”

The controversy around Mayweather’s strip club only intensified in 2025 when reports surfaced that Mayweather’s financial situation may not be as stable as his lavish social media persona suggests. Business Insider reported that Mayweather could lose the building housing Girl Collection since Mayweather hadn’t paid roughly $52,000 in property taxes and penalties.

Meanwhile, several other Mayweather-owned properties had reportedly faced foreclosure or tax-related issues.

With this latest blow, Floyd Mayweather Jr appears to be in quite a quagmire. Since he has a couple of exhibitions and a rematch with Manny Pacquiao coming up, hopefully, these can help him make enough to pay off the money he owes.
