A man has sued Floyd Mayweather Jr., “The Money Team” and a person named David Mack after allegedly being threatened due to his role in attempting to help sell tickets to Mayweather’s fight this past May against Manny Pacquiao, according to Courthouse News Service.
The plaintiff, David Bridges, says that Mack was part of Mayweather’s entourage and that Mack had recruited Bridges “to arrange ticket sales to wealthy casino patrons he met through his job as a valet,” the article said.
The report gets complicated, but the essence of it is that Bridges accused Mack of threatening him when tickets weren’t being sold or deals weren’t being consummated.
“Bridges seeks treble damages for fraud, unjust enrichment, conspiracy, bad faith, conversion, breach of contract, vicarious liability, negligent hiring and emotional distress,” the article said.
The lawsuit was filed in Clark County District Curt in Las Vegas.
