Floyd Mayweather Sued for $4 Million by Jeweler

Leonard Sulaymanov, a Miami jeweler, has filed a lawsuit against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and rapper Tyga, alleging RICO violations, fraud, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment, among other charges. Sulaymanov claims he was defrauded out of over $4 million for luxury watches and jewelry sold to Mayweather and arranged through Mayweather's associate, Jona Rechnitz. The lawsuit alleges that despite receiving initial payments of $267,000, Mayweather and Tyga failed to complete their payments for the items, including luxury watches and a Rolex. Sulaymanov's lawyers argue that the defendants engaged in a scheme to acquire luxury watches without the intention of paying the full price. The suit highlights meetings held in 2021 where substantial purchases were supposedly agreed upon but never fulfilled. Legal action was initiated after repeated assurances of payment were not met.
