A company affiliated with retired boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. is facing a lawsuit in Miami-Dade County court.

Associated Energy Group (AEG), a Miami-based global aviation fuel supplier, is suing TBE Aviation LLC and Michigan Appearances LLC for allegedly failing to pay for jet fuel and other related services. In a June lawsuit (appended at the bottom of this story), AEG says it is owed more than $136,000 for service and fuel invoices between October 31, 2024, and June 6, 2025.

"Defendant has failed and refused to pay AEG for the fuel, despite repeated demands," the lawsuit reads.

According to public records from Nevada's Secretary of State website, Floyd Mayweather is the manager of TBE Aviation, and Jeffrey Morse is the manager of Michigan Appearances LLC. Previous news reports identify Morse as Mayweather's longtime tax attorney. 

The aviation fuel provider asserts that the fuel orders for the Gulfstream jet were placed in various locations in the U.S., Italy, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Ireland, and Mexico.

"Michigan Appearances owes AEG an amount of U.S. $136,740.69 plus interest and late fees, which was due ten days from the date of each invoice, for aviation fuel and services," the lawsuit alleges. "The price for the fuel delivered by AEG to Michigan Appearances was agreed between the parties, and the goods at issue were sold at a reasonable value."

Among the invoices attached to the complaint are a $30,000 bill for fuel provided at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, and a $22,000 bill for fuel services at Shannon Airport in Ireland.

A $11,709 fuel charge was logged on October 30, 2024, at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. Two days earlier, Mayweather had visited Israel to meet with wounded troops after the October 7 Hamas attack, according to the Jerusalem Post.

AEG filed a lien against TBE Aviation's private jet (a Gulfstream IV) in April as the balances allegedly remained outstanding.

"This claim is for storage, fuel, repairs, maintenance work, improvements, enhancements, materials, and labor, and/or services furnished in the principal amount of $109,048.86," the lien attached to the complaint reads. "This claim of lien also secures interest at the rate of 1.5 percent per month from November 30, 2024, together with attorney's fees, costs, and all assessments that accrue after the date of this lien."

In a federal lawsuit from August 2024, a Miami-based jeweler claimed Mayweather owed him nearly $4 million for diamond jewelry and fancy watches he purchased in 2021. The suit was voluntarily dismissed in January.
