Judge Orders Adrien Broner To Cough Up Nearly $600K To Jeweler After Check Bounced
Looks like Adrien Broner is going to have to open up his pockets and hand over thousands of dollars to a Manhattan jeweler.
According to BOSSIP, Florida federal Judge Raag Singhal order the boxing star to pay $573,060 after the company, Vladdy’s Jeweler, accused him of walking away with custom-made pieces and later trying to pay with a check that bounced!

Vladdy’s initially sued Broner back in February 2020 for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. According to court papers obtained by the news site, they made a deal with Broner to purchase $500,000 worth of jewelry for $400,000 and in exchange, Broner would wear Vladdy’s logo on his shorts at a 2019 Vegas fight against Manny Pacquiao. Broner also requested to borrow jewelry to wear to promote the fight because the custom bling he ordered wouldn’t be ready in time of the big event.
The jeweler complained that Broner allegedly failed to honor the additional promotional work as part of their deal, the court papers state, and said the logo on Broner’s promo shorts appeared much smaller than they initially agreed.
Now, following the event, Broner had reportedly asked to keep the jewelry that Vladdy’s loaned him and gave the company a check for $443,000. However, according to the complaint, it came back for “insufficient funds.” Apparently, Broner has refused to return the jewelry, pay or offer a new deal that works for both him and the company. BOSSIP reports that after the company proceeded with the lawsuit, Broner never answered the case, hence the default judgment.
