Floyd Mayweather Jr.
A Las Vegas nightclub bouncer claims in a new lawsuit he was roughed up and injured by a bodyguard for boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.
An attorney for Clay Gerling filed suit last week in Clark County District Court against Mayweather and his companies and a John Doe bodyguard charging that Gerling was assaulted Jan. 2 at Drai’s at Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon on the Las Vegas Strip.
The suit said Gerling was working as a security guard and had "carded," or asked for identification from Mayweather and others in his group when an unnamed Mayweather bodyguard grabbed and choked Gerling.
The suit says Gerling suffered injuries to his head and neck that may be permanent as well as "extreme and severe mental anguish."
Attorneys for Mayweather have not yet responded to the suit, which was filed by Las Vegas attorney Donald Kudler and seeks unspecified general and punitive damages, reimbursement of medical expenses and reimbursement for past and present lost earnings.
Last week, Mayweather was accused in a criminal complaint of threatening security guards in his Southern Highlands community south of Las Vegas.
This man has such great talent but seems no control of his life overall.
Really is going to be to bad if he does not get his life together and end up losing it all like so many others in his position.
It is all about attitude and it appears he does not have the right one to have a great life.
No apologies for Floyd's behavior....
None. His life is a TRAIN WRECK.
But this is ALL ABOUT THE $$$$.
Who cares about this guy. He disrespects people and boxing.
carding is becoming an issue I saw an elderly lady getting carded in the Hilton Hotel, she was clearly older than 21, in fact she looked older than 50 yet they wanted ID and would not serve her until they had seen it, this is getting beyond stupid
the law is 21, so why do Walmart say if you look under 40 they will ask for ID, this is insulting to our intelligence as human beings
Just another thug with money. Sad.
I'm just waiting for the tattoo to appear on his face.
I completely agree with gmag39 and markp.
It is the same issue as getting checked at the guard gate in SH. The test of your character is how you react to negative situations, and Floyd gets a big fat "F-" in this regards. Dude you are a multi-millionaire, who cares if the guard at the gate or the bouncer at the club sweats you or your boys. By overreacting to every single little injustice he perceives, Floyd proves what a little man he actually is time and time again. Just let it go man...you're the millionaire, not the bouncer at the club or the guard working overnights at the SH club gate. Small man, big ego. Floyd is a first-class moron.
More proof (especially to those lefties) that a poor thug or wealthy thug is STILL a thug...CORRUPT. If you had the government hand out a million dollars and nice home to poor thugs around the country they will still be corrupt. Proven time and time again. It just shows that money itself is not the answer.
Now I'm just waiting to hear that this thug spent all his money and will declare bankruptcy like fellow boxer Mike Tyson and all the other thug athletes out there.
This is what happens when you surround yourself with 17 guys in your entourage.
He was at the M about 2 weeks ago,and every last one of his so called entourage were following him around like a bunch of children
Dont get me wrong,the man has tremendous talent,but really culture or not get rid of the lackeys
didnt impress me anyways
His maybach on the top ramp at M with 5 mercedes and bentley did though parked around it
How does he expect to remain anonymous with literally about a million dollars worth of vehicles parked during bingo hours at the M
peace out
Jan 2nd, why the wait?
Is there a Police Report Vidios Etc.?
Will FRAUD be charged with attempted Murder, in the Skating Ring Caper?
The boxing ring dancer in troulbe again?!?!?
Ha ha ha ha!!!!
I bet the lawyers have dollar signs spinning in their eyeballs. :-)
I don't like Mayweather and believe this to an extent but "extreme and severe mental anguish" is absolutely ridiculous. When you are a bouncer at a nightclub, strip club or anyone like that on The Strip you should expect confrontation and possibly contact. This guy and his attorney see $$$$$$ in their eyes thus adding the word "extreme". Honestly, this should have been workman's comp. I bet this guy was back on the job the next day.
Floyd is a DB, notwithstanding all his "yes men" lackeys who fawn over him. 1st class jerk.
The police have not shot shot him yet ?
The Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight maybe closer when we think. Mayweather's bodyguards are going to make him have to fight if he loses all the lawsuits against him.
