Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Sued Over Bouncer Being Choked

[Medved]

Floyd has napoleon complex, he's llike a little kid craving for attention, you think Brad Pitt or a REAL celebrity doesnt show his ID? This little punkass egomaniac is not even a B level celebrity but he acts like the world revolves around him. Carry some ID jackass and stop smoking crack.

Who knew that you cant take the hood out of him no matter how much $$$ u give these animals.

this case won't stick just like the other(s)......
But Floyd has no business or reason to act how he is acting now adays

Boxing skills got extremely mad respect to Floyd but outside the ring, wouldn't allow any kids or teens follow him.

Well the bouncer has a lawyer who filed the suit. And lawyer's usually don't take such cases if they are frivolous. It is probably a contingency case, where most costs are borne by the attorney, so again probably not frivolous.
I presume they have hospital bills and such for the damage part. And all he needed to do then was stay away from work. He's got the bodily harm and lost wages.

Unlike the finger poke, there might be a lot more here? But I wan't there.

They don't take cases that are frivolous when the person involved isn't likely to pay them off to avoid hassle.

Simple..If Floyd really wants the Pac fight he can pay those 2 guys a few bucks out of court. Maybe he can make a settlement with the ex as well. His fight with Pac will probably be the most profitable in history. He'll get over $50 mill.

Well that's true. They got a cash cow in FLoyd, unless everyone else gets to him first.

But many celebrities do not pay off when they are sued in a frivolous manner. If truly frivolous, the plaintiff and maybe even the attorney could suffer damages.

That's how most of these are settled, assuming non-frivolous nature, whether or not Floyd fights again. And he has said he has other money-making interests.

I don't know about the over $50M though if he does fight Pac. And I don't think the fight will happen, which is part of why he may be unraveling.

Which is why I think he should pursue this. He essentially has to call their bluff, I'm 100% these clowns will be looking at any opportunity to settle outside of court.

Floyd doesn't take crap so when these guys started something he fought back.

The bouncer was probably twice the size of Manny.

And he had a confrontation with group of security guards.

For what? The risk of jail.

But he's scared to fight one man who's smaller for millions of dollars?

Go put your batman costume on and do some filming.

Shut up fool, in the story Floyd used body guards.

If Floyd actually was a real man, he would walk away.

damn, is floyd still suffering from identity crisis with this thug life BS.....no wonder they ask him for an ID everytime, he acts like a damn kid....

Well the finger poke case isn't worth much. And these cases also involve witnesses, if any, in a crucial way. Also I am not able to say how much liability FLoyd has if his security guy acted on his own. But I think it is some, if not most, or all.

Lawyers' fees, bad publicity are also factors to consider.

Biggest case, ofc is Manny's suit for libel. Unless they have some evidence, he's gonna lose that one IMO. That could be for very big bucks, will be up to a jury for damage amount, if successful.
