Floyd Mayweather news reveals that "Money" is facing another lawsuit from two amateur boxers, as the pound-for-pound king of boxing is being sued for the infamous "doghouse" sparring sessions at his gym.
In a report by Yahoo! Sports, the undefeated boxer is being charged by Rahman brothers Hasim, 23, and Sharif, 18, for battery, tortious assault, false imprisonment, negligent hiring, training, supervision and retention and unjust enrichment.
Floyd Mayweather news also reveals that in one "All-Access" episode, "Money" was shown mediating a sparring match in his training facility in Las Vegas wherein boxers go hard against each other until one of them can no longer continue.
"Guys fight to the death," Mayweather said during the aforementioned episode. "It's not right, but it's dog house rules."
While Mayweather was already called on by the Nevada Athletic Commission to answer the issues surrounding the "All-Access" episodes, the Rahman brothers are looking to pursuit legal action, noting that the Mayweather Boxing Club was not licensed to conduct sparring sessions for amateur fighters.
"Defendant Mayweather knowingly misrepresented facts while testifying before the Nevada State Athletic Commission," the lawsuit reads. "Defendant Mayweather falsely testified that Hasim's 31-minute fight did not happen as aired, and that the fighters took several breaks. Defendant Mayweather also testified to the effect that the 'All Access' program is heavily edited to show footage the way he and Showtime want."
Floyd Mayweather news also reveals that the younger Rahman was also threatened with physical harm if he did not go through the sparring session.
"Mayweather responded by telling Mr. Cameron and others that if Sharif left the ring to beat his ass outside the ring," the lawsuit stated. "Sharif feared for his safety and was forced to continue to fight."
The Rahman's legal counsel Vicki Greco, however, opted to withold any further information regarding the lawsuit.
"We're in the middle of a litigation and at this point, we have no comment," Greco said. "That's not to say that at some point in the future that that may not change, but now, we have no comment."
