Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. allegedly had the $3-million paycheck he received for his loss to Canelo Alvarez stolen during a night of partying at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Chavez's wife, Frida, told ESPN Deportes' Salvador Rodriguez, per the Daily Mail, her husband was robbed of his check, a $40,000 Hublot watch, and his phone by a group of women they met at the hotel bar. She also hinted that the women may have slipped something into his drink.

"I had the check on the table, and when I checked the next day, there was no check," Frida said. "The watch was also gone."

Video has since surfaced apparently showing Chavez partying in his suite while surrounded by several scantily clad women.

A source close to Chavez's team told ESPN the check was later found on the premises. His watch has yet to turn up.
