Renowned boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is embroiled in a new legal and private controversy following a court declaration identifying him as the biological parent of a child with a performer from his Las Vegas establishment, “Girl Collection.” Judicial records acquired by TMZ Sports confirm that a judge formally determined in March 2026 that the 49-year-old former pugilist is the paternal figure to four-year-old Price Moorehead.
This judicial decision imposes a substantial monetary responsibility on Mayweather, encompassing an immense amount for outstanding child support. The legal system directed Mayweather to provide one million dollars in retroactive child support, in addition to thirty-three thousand dollars each month.

Child Support Details
Despite receiving two legal summonses and a directive for a DNA examination, Mayweather did not comply, resulting in the judge issuing a default judgment to confirm his fatherhood.
This particular child is Mayweather’s fifth, expanding his intricate family lineage. The child’s mother, Paige Moorehead, reportedly pursued legal action in Nevada to legally recognize Mayweather as the father.

She additionally contended that Mayweather urged her to end the pregnancy and eventually dismissed her from her employment at the “Girl Collection” establishment, a role she had held for four years.
The disparity between his contributions and the final judgment compelled the judge to permit Moorehead the authority to impose a lien of up to two million dollars on Mayweather’s Californian assets, providing a strong legal mechanism to guarantee financial provisions for the child’s future well-being.
