Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the richest athletes in the world, but he will try to take advantage of a tax break if he can.

The boxing star is attempting to write off a 2014 strip club visit where he spent more than $20,000, according to the Daily Mail. The report said the establishment, Larry Flint’s Hustler Club in Las Vegas, received a 1099 tax form from Mayweather on the $15,000 in single dollar bills he spent.
