Just days after Floyd Mayweather Jr. officially announced his May 3 bout against Marcos Maidana, some potentially bad news has surfaced about the 45-0 champ.
TMZ reported that two men have come forward claiming that they were savagely beaten by members of Mayweather’s entourage and that the attack was orchestrated by Money May himself.
The two men said they were hired to work on Mayweather’s homes in Las Vegas and during that time an undisclosed amount of jewelry went missing from one of the properties; so Mayweather allegedly suspected the two potential victims of the beat down.
After Mayweather discovered the jewelry was missing the men claim that he told them to meet him at a location outside of his home to which they showed up to Mayweather and several Money May associates.
The men claimed they were beat with clubs and that the injuries they suffered during the attack—broken arms and legs— left them in the hospital for “several days” after the incident.
The report states that the men claim they never stole anything from Mayweather and that the pound-for-pound kind is now realizing that.
We are sure to hear more on the story as the TMZ report states that the men have hired a lawyer, which won’t bode well for Mayweather if these allegations are true.
Mayweather is not new to legal trouble and once served two months of a three-month jail sentence in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas during the summer of 2012 after pleading guilty to a domestic violence charge and pleaded no contest to two harassment charges as well.
