The bad check was for a $200,000 watch. He owes one HOA $22,500 and he owes the IRS $7.5 million. He has a huge mega mansion in Queensridge and he is trying to sell his Southern Highlands home for $8.5 million, reduced from $14.5 million. Did he ever talk to Wayne Newton or Nicholas Cage about overextending oneself?
The Wayne Newton situation is especially mindblowing. At one point, Newton was one of the owners of the Aladdin. Now he’s broke, lost Casa de Shenendoah, shattered the heart of Ellen Griswold and playing in a teeny tiny room on the Strip at age 84. On a similar trajectory, Mayweather, at the same age Mayweather will be door dashing and fighting Logan Paul’s grandson in Logandale at the Clark County Fairgrounds for extra cash.
It gets better:
Mayweather has $54M Loan: He reportedly took out a high-risk $54 million loan with a 9% interest rate from a private financier, using his assets (residential properties, jet, and Girl Collection) as collateral. [1]
Personal Debts: He is facing multiple lawsuits and demands including $1.5 million allegedly owed to Logan Paul from their 2021 exhibition match, $1 million in back child support rulings, unpaid rent for a Manhattan luxury condo, and unpaid bills for private jet fuel.
The criminal charge is almost beside the point. The collection problem is what a serious practitioner focuses on – and the mechanics here are not complicated. You send a joint preliminary injunction to the relevant bank accounts, freeze them while the matter is pending, perfectly legitimate, and the money does not move. Then you record a lis pendens against the real property – the residence, whatever it is – and let the cloud on title do the work. The property does not sell. It does not refinance. It sits. A charging order and an attorney’s lien are available but frankly lesser instruments in this particular posture. I am, AV-rated for some time now, somewhat past the point of chasing celebrity debtors through conventional channels when these tools exist.
When a creditor is forced to pursue this at all, fees and sanctions are warranted – the motion is already drafted and on my desk. The fee burn on a collection matter of this complexity, properly handled, reaches five figures before the first hearing. Any practitioner reading this who is not already opening a file is, candidly, not reading it correctly.
A creditor cannot record a lis pendens to encumber real property in hopes of locking up that property until a money judgment is entered and can be executed upon.
Read the Tahican decision. Allegations of fraudulent transfer and/or a litany of other financially related claims has been held sufficient for a lis pendens.
The objection recites the abstract rule and stops exactly where the analysis must begin. With respect, that is not the law as applied.
The absolute litigation privilege attaches to any act undertaken in the course of judicial proceedings – the recording of a lis pendens included. It does not inquire into motive. It does not inquire into whether the underlying claim sounds in title. It does not inquire into propriety. The privilege is absolute, which is to say it contains no limiting principle of the kind the objection assumes. Whether the instrument was proper or flatly improper is, accordingly, beside the point – the act is immune either way, and I am, AV-rated for some time now, entirely serene about that result. A lis pendens is, properly understood, particularly apt for securing the fees an opposing party owes you – that is not an abuse of the instrument; that is the point of it. There is in any event a colorable property interest and the instrument is facially valid, but I mention that as a courtesy, not a concession – the privilege alone is dispositive.

The question posed: Which Rush album is definitive? – Moving Pictures, 2112, Grace Under Pressure, Signals, Farewell to Kings, Permanent Waves – the question as posed, and it is a better question than it first appears, which is not a compliment to how it first appears. I have a view. I have had a view since approximately 1981, which is – that is not relevant. What is relevant is that this touches, unavoidably, on community property characterization. Neil Peart’s royalty streams, earned across multiple albums during periods of potential marital cohabitation under Nevada law – I have not researched the specific dissolution, I could, it would be billed separately – present exactly the kind of characterization question I have, separately, written on. My position, which has not been disturbed on appeal, is that Hemispheres controls, and that Tom Sawyer – which is on that album (an AV-rated Past President of Mensa does not misremember album track listings) is the definitive track. The suite on side one maps to a well-drafted marital settlement agreement with a structural precision that frankly warrants a CLE, of which I would be the obvious author. The court could, sua sponte, sanction anyone who argues otherwise. This is not a contradiction of the list. This is context.
Ticketmaster is already selling front-row seats to the Mayweather bad check trial.

His conduct with Ellen was particularly egregious.
Bugsy’s Cabaret, where Wayne Newton performs, has like 150-225 seats.

He’s also being sued for wage and hour violations at Girl Collection.
Sounds like two of his creditors need to force him to BK before everything is completely gone.

They can and will if they apply for and receive a pre-judgment writ of attachment from the Court.
A prejudgment writ of attachment is not a lis pendens.
Don’t confuse them with the law.

They have a name for that: slander of title.
It is not! I resent that!
Slander is spoken. In print, it’s libel.

Sounds like fancy waterbed financing to me.
A Rush ruling request? On a Legal blog? Good to see you around, G.
For real!
P/G, hands down, air drummer.
Definitive? You cant name a single definitive album. As there are several “eras” that could each have a definitive album.
I could theoretically pin it down to two penultimate albums from two different eras:
Hemispheres and Vapor Trails.
But, the Kia Forum show last weekend made my Rush heart sing for 3 hours. Looking forward to Denver in October.
If we as a civilized society are compelled to object to a rush to judgment, are we not equally obligated to rise up in the face of a judgment of Rush?
Tom Sawyer is not on Hemispheres!
