Sharif and Hasim Rahman Jr., the sons of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, have filed a lawsuit against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Mayweather Promotions and Showtime. The complaint, filed in Clark County District Court in Las Vegas, alleges that both brothers were forced to accept dangerous conditions during sparring sessions, which Showtime filmed without their permission.

A copy of the lawsuit, filed on October 16th, has been provided to BoxingScene.com.

The sparring sessions in question were featured during Mayweather's most recent "All Access" reality series on Showtime, which the network used to help promote the boxer's pay-per-view rematch last month with Marcos Maidana.

The Nevada Athletic Commission were concerned over the claims being made on the show, that fighters were placed into marathon sparring sessions with no breaks.

Mayweather claimed the details related to the sparring sessions was false [regarding the fighters not having breaks] and some of items related to the show, like female acquaintances smoking marijuana, were staged for theatrics.

Sharif Rahman, 18-years-old, and 24-year-old Hasim Rahman Jr. claim the sparring sessions at the Mayweather Boxing Club were real.

In the legal documents, Sharif alleges that Mayweather told him on August 20th that he would be sparring with Donovan Cameron. He claims that he was forced to fight Cameron for several rounds that lasted five to seven minutes in length. Sharif alleges that he asked Mayweather for shorter rounds - and Mayweather allegedly rejected his request.

He then claims that ringside observer told Sharif to end the sparring session because he was taking too much punishment, Sharif alleges in the lawsuit that Mayweather "responded by telling Cameron and others that if Sharif left the ring, to beat his ass outside the ring." Sharif claims that he "feared for his safety and was forced to continue the fight."

When Hasim Jr. arrived to the gym, he was advised that Cameron had beaten up his brother in a sparring session and then challenged him to one of their own. Mayweather called it a "fight to the death." Hasim says Mayweather was making side bets against him without his knowledge, alleging that Floyd put up "large sums of money" on Cameron. Hasim says the sparring session continued for 31 minutes without breaks.

Both brothers claim they never gave Mayweather or Showtime permission to film the sparring sessions for the "All Access" show.

The brothers allege Mayweather "knowingly misrepresented the facts while testifying before the Nevada Athletic Commission."

One has to wonder if the NSAC will now request Mayweather, a licensed promoter in the state, to reappear and discuss the allegations being made in lawsuit.
