Floyd Mayweather Sued Over Alleged Beating Involving His Security Team

Boxer Floyd Mayweather is being sued over an alleged assault, involving the famous athlete's security team.

According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, the lawsuit comes nearly two years after Floyd Mayweather's bodyguard was under investigation for battery for the same incident.

Now, Floyd Mayweather is being sued over the damage allegedly inflicted by his bodyguard.

In the filing, the victim claimed the 2022 incident occurred when the Mayweather Money Team entered the Yard House restaurant near Crypto.com arena (which is formerly known as Staples Center) in L.A., which "resulted in a large crowd gathering around them, causing a commotion."

The person says he was "using his cell phone camera [to begin] recording the Mayweather Money Team" which is when the professional boxer noticed the man was taking video. That is when Floyd Mayweather and/or the MMT got one of his bodyguards' attention.

A member of Mayweather's team approached the alleged victim "negligently, carelessly, intentionally, maliciously and/or physically touched, struck and/or hit [the victim] by striking him and causing him to fall to the ground," per the new legal documents.

The bodyguard then proceeded to wrestle the man to the ground "in an attempt to confiscate his cell phone, causing further injuries and damages."

At the time, a rep for Mayweather said the famous boxer left the restaurant without incident because it was too crowded.

The victim claims he "was placed in great fear for his life, health and safety," although, it's reported that he waited nearly 30 minutes to call police and report the incident.

When cops responded to the call, they took a battery report. After reviewing the report and taking witness statements, they concluded that the victim's story was not entirely consistent with what bystanders claimed.

According to the police report, the alleged victim said he was filming the boxer, who got upset and started an altercation. That is when a member of Mayweather's security team allegedly assaulted the man as they tried to get him to delete the video on his phone.

Per the report, Mayweather's bodyguard allegedly picked up the man's phone and attempted to get the man to unlock the cell phone for him, so the video could be erased, however, the man allegedly refused to comply, so the bodyguard gave the phone back, and everyone reportedly went separate ways.

Witnesses, however, told police officers that the man "flopped" after the incident with the bodyguard, and fell over dramatically to the floor.

The person is now suing Mayweather for an undisclosed amount.

This is not the first time Mayweather has faced a lawsuit. In 2010, a man accused the boxer's security team of assaulting him at The Palms casino in Las Vegas.

The man claimed he wanted to take a photo of Mayweather, and chat with him about boxing in the casino's valet parking area, but Mayweather took offense to this, and reportedly gave his bodyguards a thumbs-down sign.

The bodyguards intervened and reportedly hit the victim in the face, knocking him down and causing him to smack his head on the pavement.

Mayweather and his promotional company were accused of assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and employee negligence.
