While initial reports suggested a more dramatic scenario, with whispers of forcible detention, the truth appears more nuanced. It seems the boxing champion's troubles stem from financial obligations incurred during his time in Dubai. According to sources, Mayweather was "fronted" a significant sum of cash at a private "casino" within or near the city. Unfortunately for the champ, he lost this substantial amount, leading to the current predicament. Reports indicate that he is currently unable to leave Dubai until he settles his debts, a situation that has attracted considerable attention.
