From Daily Mail UK: One of Nelson Mandela’s daughters has been ordered to pay $7.5m to boxing promoter after failing to stage a megafight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

Zindziswa Mandela has been told to pay the Los Angeles based promoter the seven figure sum after the fight failed to take place as part of birthday celebrations for her father.

The dispute began in April last year when boxing promoter Duane Moody filed a lawsuit claiming that he was owed millions of dollars by Zindziswa over a failed attempt to set up a Pacquiao -Mayweather bout in Soweto,South Africa to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s 93rd birthday.
