    Floyd Mayweather filed a petition July 5 asking the IRS for a reprieve from unpaid taxes from 2015 until after his fight with Conor McGregor in August.

    "Although the taxpayer has substantial assets, those assets are restricted and primarily illiquid," Mayweather's petition stated, per the legal website Law360 (h/t ESPN.com's Darren Rovell). "The taxpayer has a significant liquidity event scheduled in about 60 days from which he intends to pay the balance of the 2015 tax liability due and outstanding."

    Mayweather, 40, made $220 million alone from his 2015 fight against Manny Pacquiao. It is unclear how much he owes the IRS in taxes.

    The petition asks the government to reduce Mayweather's penalty on the unpaid taxes. Given a 15-month lapse since the 2015 tax due date, Mayweather would owe 7.5 percent in penalties on top of what he was already scheduled to pay, according to Rovell.

    Mayweather is expected to bring home a nine-figure payday from his bout with McGregor, which is slated for Aug. 26 in Las Vegas. The fight will end a nearly two-year retirement. Mayweather has not boxed professionally since defeating Andre Berto via unanimous decision in September 2015, which moved him to 49-0 for his career.

    These conferences they are doing for this fight coming up, Mcgregor has a lot of ammo already and this just added to it. Should be entertaining to watch

    ...Floyd's "money" has always been the biggest facade in sports! The guy is going to have an epic fall from grace when his fights are no longer worth watching (which seems to be rapidly approaching). I doubt he will lose to McGregor, but I sure as hell hope he does. The sooner his soap box is taken away, the better for all :cheers:

    Floyd gunna end up like completely flat out broke like so many boxers before him. He hasn't got a fucking clue what his managers are doing with his money. Which I would say is sad, but there were many other broke boxers more likable than Mayweather.

    This is the same guy who brags about his money and posts pictures; stacks of Benjamins, on social media, right?

    Since when does owing the IRS mean you aren't still crazy rich?

    Floyd & Conor are taking the public for a ride. They like each other, hell they love each other given that they'll be splitting about $350MM between them.

    The best part of this fight is when after 12 rounds they make out in the ring and then get married via Michael Buffer.

    ......I think you missed my point. I was pointing out the irony that someone who has that much money would ask the IRS for a reprieve.

    Fair enough but I'm sure he personally has nothing to do with it.

    Conner said if Floyd gets disrespectful he'll bounce an elbow off him.

    If May was really smart, he'd bet his whole purse on Connor and throw the fight.
