Pow! Right in the lawsuit! A man claiming he got roughed up by Floyd Mayweather’s bodyguard is throwing some serious punches in court. This ain’t an exhibition match, folks – this dude is suing Floyd for a whopping $3 MILLION!
Let’s rewind to February 2022. According to the lawsuit, Eduardo Andres Torres Martinez spotted Floyd Mayweather chilling at a restaurant in LA. Excited fan mode activated! Martinez whipped out his phone to film the champ, but things allegedly went south real quick.
The lawsuit claims Floyd saw Martinez filming and signaled his bodyguards. Next thing Martinez knows, he’s wrangling with a bodyguard who’s apparently trying to snatch his phone! Whoa, hold on a sec – is Floyd’s team that sensitive about cameraphones?
Martinez says he was scared for his life and suffered injuries during the struggle. The lawsuit accuses Floyd’s company, The Money Team, of negligence in hiring and training their bodyguards. Yard House, the restaurant where it all went down, is also named as a defendant.
So what exactly is Martinez suing for? Get this – a cool $3 million! That breaks down to:
- $1.5 million for general damages (ouch!)
- $500k for future medical expenses (sounds like the brawl left a mark)
- $40k for past medical expenses (getting patched up ain’t cheap)
- $300k for lost future earnings (did the incident mess with his job?)
- $1 million in punitive damages (Martinez wants Floyd to feel the financial pain!)
The LAPD did respond to the scene that day, but according to reports, no official report was filed. Interesting, right?
Floyd Mayweather’s team hasn’t commented on the lawsuit yet, but we’ll be keeping our ears to the ground. This lawsuit has all the makings of a major hip-hop throwdown – stay tuned for the latest round!
