据BoxingScene.com网站报道;梅威瑟仍然拖欠着2015年的联邦税,梅威瑟向美国国税局申请分期付款协议,还特别提到了用8月26日对嘴炮的收入来支付余额。
该网站还引用了一份报告描述了梅威瑟与国税局的分歧,梅威瑟认为自己缺乏流动资金立即支付他2015税收,而国税局认为他的一些资产可以转换为现金,或者可以去借一笔贷款来支付他欠的税款。
2015年的报告中梅威瑟在世纪大战中赚了大约2.2至2.3亿美元,如果他和嘴炮的比赛一旦开打,必须对可能的4亿美元的收入缴纳税款,并且还要偿还他过去欠国税局的债务。

Early this morning, Bloody Elbow learned that a Floyd J. Mayweather recently filed a lawsuit in U.S. Tax Court against the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
In past experiences, U.S. Tax Court documents have not been electronically available and have taken more than a week to obtain. But when boxing’s all-time great is the apparent principal, things move quickly.
David Greisman of BoxingScene.com reports that Mayweather still owes federal taxes for 2015 and is petitioning the U.S. Tax Court for an installment agreement, specifically citing what appears to be his scheduled Aug. 26 clash with MMA superstar Conor McGregor as a “significant liquidity event” from which he intends to pay the remaining balance.
Boxing Scene cites a Law360 report describing the apparent dispute between Mayweather and the IRS. “The agency said that Mayweather had various options available … including by selling property, withdrawing cash from other accounts or taking out a loan.”
In other words, Mayweather argues he’s too illiquid to immediately pay his 2015 taxes while the IRS believes some of his assets could be converted into cash or Mayweather could take out a loan to pay what he owes.
2015 is the year Mayweather reportedly earned $220-230 million for defeating Manny Pacquiao in what was billed as boxing’s Fight of the Century. Once the McGregor clash takes place towards the end of the summer, Mayweather will now have to pay taxes on a possible $400 million in earnings as well as cover his past IRS debts. |
