An appellate court in the United States has upheld the ruling of a lower court ordering a former World Champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., to pay a Nigerian company, Zinni Media Concept Limited the sum of N4.2 billion in damages over breach of contract and fraud.
A statement signed by the company's media executive, Alex Nwankwo ( AlexReports) says the appellate court found merit in the ruling of a lower court which found Mayweather guilty of breach of contract agreement, expressing satisfaction of the organisation over the ruling.
The agreement with Zinni Media Concept Limited requires Mayweather to make different appearances in Africa, including one Nigeria in June 2017.
He however did not fulfill a duly entered agreement but instead, terminated it without cause and refused to reimburse advance payment made by the company for the service.
The CEO Zinni Media Ltd Prince Donatus Okonkwo, had only wanted reimbursement for the company's deposits, but Mayweather and his initial set of legal representatives implied that because the company was not based in the United States, he could not make any refund, the statement noted.
"Feeling violated and robbed, Zinni Media Ltd had no option but to seek and retain legal assistance within the USA to address the breach of contract.
"After several unsuccessful attempts to recover the appearance fees from the American boxer, the company instituted a legal action against Mayweather in 2018 where it alleged breach of contract, unjust enrichment and fraud against the former champion. We are grateful that two courts have granted a prayer by Zinni Media Ltd to impose terminating sanctions against Mayweather", the statement added.
It could be recalled that on October 31, 2023, a lower court had ordered Mayweather to pay Zinni $1,638,542 in damages, $721,881.32 in prejudgment interest, $16,270 in sanctioned attorney fees, as well as $285 in costs.
Dissatisfied with the judgement, Mayweather however filed an appeal. On August 27, 2024, the California Court of Appeal upheld the ruling of the lower court.
The judgment was confirmed by court documents made available to journalists in Nigeria, dated Aug 27, 2024 and endorsed by Eva McClintock, Clerk of the Court of Appeals of the State of California.
The document is referenced (Second Appellate District, Case No. B334403; County Super. Ct. No. 19VECV00170). Okeke & Associates, PC., by Patrick I. Okeke, Esq., represented the Plaintiff and Appellant (Zinni), while the Defendant and Respondent (Mayweather) was represented by Eisner LLP, by Jeremiah Reynolds, Esq., and Benjamin Kassis, Esq.
The statement said despite the ruling of the court of appeal and finality on the case, Mayweather had still refused to pay the judgment money which continues to grow at 10% per annum.
In a bid to enforce the judgement, the court has gone ahead to instruct USA attorneys to target Mayweather’s 2015 Bugatti GSV or his 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, both valued over the judgment amount, Zinni Media Ltd further stated in its release.
"We have already defeated Mayweather and his attorneys on numerous occasions during the proceedings so the enforcement of the judgement will be duly applied.
"Our forensic investigators have also uncovered a substantial number of Mayweather’s valued assets showing that he was very successful but clearly overstating his true net worth", the statement added.
AlexReports quoted Prince Okonkwo as reacting on if his lawyers succeed in securing the Bugatti or Ferrari, he laughed and said, “these are very fast cars, but no good roads to drive them in Nigeria”.
Prince Okonkwo a successful business mogul is a former Anambra governorship aspirant and currently the Honorary Counsel of Democratic Republic of Congo to Nigeria.
He owns the popular eatery in Nigeria, Tetrazzini Group.
Sterlingdgreat: I have always told myself Christianity is one of the most controversial religion. So confusing. You will see one thing in one part, the opposite will be in another part.
That is y it is easy to twist its words to suit what you want to tell the audience
Exactly they don't even follow the holy book but rather follow what suit their minds.
Christian and yeye prayer the guy had been showing red flags of mental illness they took him to church for deliverance instead of taking him to hospital for psychiatric test now the deed had been done they will still blame devil.useless people.
ebubeson: Jane was a pretty girl that schooled in one of the most prestigious universities. She was an intelligent student and came out with a Second Class Upper in industrial chemistry. While she was in school, she dated Felix, a handsome, nice, quiet, neat, religious and gentle guy. Felix was in Chemical Engineering department, and he graduated with a first class. Jane was a virgin and Felix too was a virgin.
Their love was the strongest in the university as they were too close to each other, seen often together. It was a no-sex before marriage affair and this was so even when they were deployed to their various states for NYSC.
Jane served in a private company while she served, and Felix taught in a school. After the one year of service, Felix got a job immediately, while Jane was making cash through social media marketing. She had not gotten an official job yet. Again, during the stay at NYSC, Jane never cheated and Felix never cheated on her too. It was a relationship of love, trust, companionship, hope etc.
Life went well and it didn't take Felix more than 2 years to propose marriage. Jane hurriedly accepted the proposal and was super excited as her dream had come through.
The wedding process began, and the wedding date was fixed. Jane was prepared to show her friends the best marriage ceremony ever. She then decided to register in a gym so that she will appear her best on the wedding day. She did gym for a month until she decided to take the gym privately so that she can manage her time properly. She met one of the gym instructors named Pascal. Pascal was a tall, cute and well-built guy. He also had good manners. Pascal agreed for the private gym.
The private gym process was going smoothly and fine, and Jane enjoyed the moments as she saw results of the gym showing on her. She was happy and ready for the wedding. But one thing Jane did not take not of was that she was falling for Pascals good manners, physique, height and cuteness. Mind you, Felix was of average height and he was not muscular, unlike Pascal who was muscular and attractive.
Jane kept on enjoying the gym process until it was six days to her wedding. Pascal came around knowing that Jane's wedding was close by. But this time, he had the motive of sleeping with Jane since she was about to get married soon. Jane also had sexual thoughts about Pascal, but supressed it so that it does not cause any problem. The gym went on and Pascal helped Jane in the most tender, calm, soft way, while Jane responded gently in appreciation. As the moments went on, they held themselves together, lost control, stripped and had sex. The place was partly littered with blood, but the sex continued. It was an unprotected sex. In about 15 minutes, the sex was over and Jane collapsed in tears. She could not believe what happened. It was like a dream. Pascal who was a bad guy, felt bad too, but the did has been done.
Jane cried for two days and became slim. This became a concern to several people including Felix. Jane was so depressed that he fell often in her house. Finally she opened up to Felix that she had sex with gym instructor and had lost her virginity. Felix cried his eyes out and the pain was much for him. He forgave her but shifted the wedding date. The wedding date was shifted to a month's time.
But because the sex was unprotected, Jane got pregnant because of that sex. She knew two weeks later after she went to the hospital for check up. She told Felix about, Felix finally cancelled the wedding.
Jane tried to reach Pascal, but Pascal had travelled to Canada and was unreachable.
Jane ended up being a baby mama.
Lesson: Endure temptations, it may ruin beautiful things.
#Fiction.
Lie lie write up pascal travelled to Canada no be Canada na Kastina nonsense write up.

The House of Representatives Investigative Panel has interrogated Michael Anugwa, Deputy Controller of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) at Kirikiri, Lagos, regarding allegations surrounding social media influencer, Bobrisky, brought forward by popular activist, VeryDarkMan.
The interrogation follows allegations made by VeryDarkMan, claiming Bobrisky had bribed EFCC officials with N15 million to drop money laundering charges and allegedly served his six-month jail term in a private apartment instead of Kirikiri Prison.
Michael Anugwa faced intense questioning from the panel as they sought clarification on the allegations concerning Bobrisky’s imprisonment and any potential misconduct by correctional officers.
The investigation continues as the panel seeks to uncover the truth behind these serious accusations of corruption within the EFCC and NCS.
