All because the man asked about a fight with Pacquiao? Talk about getting in someone's head...

1. A hit squad? lol. Maybe that's different then the one I read on Boxing Scene, but there's a difference between "a hit squad" and allegedly getting your bodyguards to give the beats to someone.

2. Where is that one .gif from? The one where that cop runs down that girl and slams her? Also the one with the brother/sister online?

Floyds a real fuck head. No doubt there are some people on this site that would cream their pants for floyd to put a beating on them... yes sir may i have another

I am Stevenski's complete lack of surprise. Mayweather has a history of doing these kind of things. If what it says is true then he should be serving time for effectively paying mercanaries to attack someone.

Even if it is true I am sure there are some who would say "well this cat should not have disrespected him".

If true, Mayweather is a fuckhead (he still had that trait before this though). Though I also want to point out that if the report is true, the young kid is a bit of a moron as well. Like seriously, he either has no common sense, or was probably trying to provoke a reaction.

So he starts taking photo's of Mayweather, and he is asked by his bodyguards to not do so. That's fine then. He then 'happens' to see him later and decides it was a good idea to ask him about the Pacquiao fight (still don't know the tone it was asked in).

The guy either has no common sense. Or was probably trying to annoy him deliberately.

As a fan, he would know that Mayweather doesn't like that question. So why would you ask it, if moments earlier in the night, you were the same guy that was asked to stop taking photos?

If true, Mayweather should be dealt with accordingly, he should know better. But the kid is either a dumbass or a smartass as well from reading that report.

The guy's stupid. Mayweather should pay him a visit and knock him out unconscious. Playing paparazzi eh.

It is here too>>>> LAS VEGAS (AP)—A 21-year-old man claims boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. directed his bodyguards to attack him at a Las Vegas casino last year after the man asked about a long-awaited showdown with Manny Pacquiao, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in state court in Las Vegas.

The lawsuit alleges Mayweather’s bodyguards attacked Anthony Cliff of Las Vegas near a valet parking stand at the Palms Casino Resort on March 27, 2010, after Mayweather accused Cliff of “disrespecting” him.

Mayweather’s bodyguards allegedly struck Cliff in the face, slamming his head into the ground. They then kicked him repeatedly in his back and side, the lawsuit says.

Mayweather’s attorney did not respond Monday to a request for comment. A spokesman for the Palms said casino officials do not comment on pending litigation.

Las Vegas police spokesman Jacinto Rivera said that an alleged battery at the Palms involving Mayweather and his entourage was reported, but the case was suspended because witnesses and casino video surveillance did not identify any suspects.

The lawsuit accuses Mayweather of assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent hiring, training, supervision and retention of employees.

“At the end of the day there needs to be justice,” said Afshin Tadayon, Cliff’s lawyer. “You can’t have people out there who do this sort of thing.”

Cliff claims he first spotted the boxer inside the casino and tried to take his photo. He was told by a bodyguard that he could not do so. The lawsuit alleges Cliff walked away, but later ran into Mayweather again at the valet stand. Cliff asked someone in Mayweather’s entourage about a possible match between Mayweather and Pacquiao.

“Not only does Mr. Cliff want to see a fight against Mr. Pacquiao, but so do many boxing fans,” Tadayon said. “So, it was just a question.”

The inquiry seemingly infuriated Mayweather and his group, who surrounded Cliff and began threatening him, according to the lawsuit. Mayweather told Cliff he was disrespectful and allegedly gave his bodyguards a “thumbs down” gesture, “which was a sign for the bodyguards to attack,” the lawsuit claims.

The Palms also was named in the 43-page lawsuit for allegedly failing to provide adequate security. Cliff claims the casino’s valet and security staff did nothing to help him during or after the alleged beating.

Pacquiao and Mayweather have come close to reaching a deal for potentially the most lucrative fight in boxing history multiple times, but they have yet to meet in the ring.

Mayweather has a history of court dealings.

Most recently, he failed to turn up for a court-ordered deposition in Las Vegas earlier this month in a federal lawsuit alleging he defamed Pacquiao.

Mayweather also faces felony charges stemming from a domestic argument and misdemeanor harassment and battery charges in separate cases.

The Las Vegas boxer is undefeated in 41 fights, having won titles in five divisions.

I didn't want to waste my time commenting on this thread but fuck it

Pacquiao cheats on his wife multiple times and that gets unheard of ( NOT SAYING WHAT FLOYD DID WAS RIGHT, IF HE DID IT)

Let me start by saying I really dislike all paparazzi the way they stalk celebrities with no life of there own, I hate TMZ and so on, I find it just so un-important I mean honestly who cares there are bigger problems then Brad Pitts underwear or whatever.

That being said comparing this situation to myself, I hate Disrespect....real...
When I was younger talking crazy to me to my face didn't get you to far, now that I am older I have to calm it down a bit....

Now that being said...these paparazzi guys have been known to say the most outrageous stuff to spark a reaction from celebrities, all for the sake of money of course

I could imagine this guy saying all sorts of crazy and disrespect shit, should Floyd have handled it the way he did?....probably not, only because it's clear this man is out for money
but IF I were in Floyd's shoes (using my own mindset) I would of hit him in all honestly...I don't care who you are, at the end of the day we are all human so I demand respect...him in my personal space and disrespecting me would of caused him to get hit.....

I find it funny how people get on Forums and call this man all sorts of names, I don't respect it....now if you can say it to his face then that is different...(doubt that though)
being so quick to judge him just shows how people feel about blacks in my opinion....

Not just his case, but I find it funny any black man's case sparks such hate and bad words, shows me people still hate me due to my color, but are to coward to ever say it to my face
and I don't blame em cause honestly i'll tax that ass...any who lay off the man unless you were there and saw it or whatever how can you judge if you have no real knowledge of the situation?

just my two cents I'm out and on to the next thread

If snoop has began posting less because of you now. I want him traded back.

Maybe I was wrong and there was room only for one token?

Come back snoop.

Where's Snoop? Guy must be embarrassed by his brethren.

so what did I say bad? the truth? you clearly didn't clearly understand what I wrote
this is how I feel, I don't do disrespect, should I? should you? I feel this is a race issue like anything else?
if you want to debate it then debate it....but lol I don't give a fuck about posting here man seriously
I came here to post my two cents my thoughts and what not
since I've been here I have not disrespected anyone, nor have I called anyone out of their name
that being said I have been called all sorts of BS names and I have still let that roll off
I don't know what the fuck your talking about man real

Jesus Ken were you there? How can you say Floyd shouldn't have hit him when you don't even know what happened. Like Fitz says let the truth come out and then we can judge.

Could be he was provoked, could be Floyd is just a nasty shitty piece of work. Personally I've got a buck each way on which it was.

As for Manny banging some broad that is not your missus, that is a whole different kettle of fish then getting your bodyguards to beat the shit out of a defenceless kid. The 2 are not even close. If you can't see that you need help. Seriously. I might add that nobody mentioned Manny in this thread but you couldn't help yourself could you? What the fuck has it got to do with Manny?

The way you go on about him I'm inclined to think you've got a thing for the Congressman.

And for your information just go to Google or YouTube about Pac's alledged affairs. They were national freaken news in the Phillipines. Not in America maybe but then why would it be?

I knew you were going to play the race card but please explain to me why the press hound that talentless bimbo Lindsay Lohan? Because she's white? Face it bro the paps/press will hound those celebrities they feel are dumb enough to fall for their bait tactics. I'd say Floyd fits that description pretty nicely.

Look by the sounds of it your boyfriend has let you down big time but hey love is like that I guess. Occassionally you get your heart broken. Get over it Ken.

I highlighted the selected because they made me feel the need to reply, seems like you only read the bold parts and not the whole thing cause if you had you would not have replied the way you did....

okay lets start here
Ollie: Jesus Ken were you there? How can you say Floyd shouldn't have hit him when you don't even know what happened

What I already wrote: I hate disrespect, so let me compare this situation to myself... I could imagine this guy saying all sorts of crazy and disrespect shit, should Floyd have handled it the way he did?....probably not, only because it's clear this man is out for money. IF I were in Floyd's shoes (using my own mindset) I would of hit him in all honestly...I don't care who you are, at the end of the day we are all human so I demand respect...him in my personal space and disrespecting me would of caused him to get hit.....

also I said: any who lay off the man unless you were there and saw it or whatever how can you judge if you have no real knowledge of the situation?

Ollie:beating the shit out of a defenceless kid. The 2 are not even close. If you can't see that you need help. Seriously

iKen: This is funny how you say in one breath don't judge the situation till we have all the facts or some shit, then you turn around and rewrite the story how you want
21 years old is not a kid 1st off, cute though...an at that age you should know what's cool and what's not, who knows the real case, or the real words exchanged between the two

Also I Already wrote this: NOT SAYING WHAT FLOYD DID WAS RIGHT, IF HE DID IT, so that already shuts up that shit you said quote "The 2 are not even close. If you can't see that you need help. Seriously"

Ollie: What the fuck has it got to do with Manny?

iKen: bad press, nothing ever good, but Manny see's no bad press REALLY...always good


Ollie: The way you go on about him I'm inclined to think you've got a thing for the Congressman

iKen: or you do, the way you always defend him....justifying why he won't take a fucking test and then blaming Floyd....lol seems like you love him regardless if he's cheating boxing and on the juice...nice try though


Ollie: I knew you were going to play the race card but please explain to me why the press hound that talentless bimbo Lindsay Lohan?

iKen: yup it's you didn't read shit I said...what I already said: Let me start by saying I really dislike all paparazzi the way they stalk celebrities with no life of there own, I hate TMZ and so on, I find it just so un-important I mean honestly who cares there are bigger problems then Brad Pitts underwear or whatever. Now that being said...these paparazzi guys have been known to say the most outrageous stuff to spark a reaction from celebrities, all for the sake of money of course

as for pacmans case yea I know they touched on it in the Philippines and that was it....

read what I write man, then after it has set in...comeback with your comeback
this stuff just makes it seem or look like you didn't read anything I wrote, but tried to downplay...fail....

This sounds more like a shakedown. Floyd's not stupid enough to do something like that with cameras around. And if he did do it, it wasn't because he was upset about a question about Pac.

It would be interesting to know if the 21 year old had any alcohol in him.

(Not that I would EVER apologize for Floyd, but this just doesn't sound right.)

You've failed Ken and continue to do so.

Even if the young man (if you prefer) got in Floyd's face it sounds like an unfair fight to me. What was it? Floyd and a couple of bodyguards against 1 guy. What a fucken hero.

You still haven't acknowledged that (if true) beating a guy up is a whole different level of shit than boinking a chick. However if this was a story about Manny getting his goons to beat some fucker up then you wouldn't hear me trying to defend it. That shit would be uncool and methinks if the roles were reversed you'd be all over like you're all over Floyd's cock.

Seriously why bring Manny in to it? I defend it because you seem obsessed with bringing Manny into every discussion about Floyd. I on the other hand can have a conversation about Floyd without having to compare the two. Grow up for fucks sake. There used to be a Pactard on here called Torvix and honestly I didn't think anyone could surpass that guy for sheer cum guzzling of their favourite boxer. You Ken have not only blown his idol worship out of the water but have taken it to another galaxy.

I'm sure you could imagine Ken but as you weren't there that's all you can do imagine.

You don't say what Floyd did was right but then launch into a passionate defence of him. Hardly sounds like contrition to me Ken and doesn't even come close to "shutting up my shit."

Funny thing is I thought you weren't one of the trolls whose recently invaded the boards, rather a true boxing fan that just had an unusual and unhealthy obsession with Floyd. Nah, you're definately a troll and not a bad one, because no-one with a shred of common sense could have posted the crap above nor even try to defend it.

Now I'm off to watch some Wimbledon, the sport of Kings, because seriously your argument is redundant.

EDIT: Snoop, Fitz got me thinking, I know we've had our share of clashes bro, but mate come back and start posting coz at least it was intelligent debate (most of the time) and you had some logic to what you put forth, this guy on the other hand...................

Let me make it more simple
What Floyd did was not right (If what was said, happened as far as the jumping and kicking a man while he's down...I never approved of this)
If Floyd had hit him and that was it, then whatever...If someone disrespected me in person I would react the same way (hopefully now I am able to take a different approach)
But
IF Floyd had a body guard jump on him, and then they both kicked him while he was down, this I do not agree with...it's very lame to me
AS I SAID I DO NOT AGREE WITH WHAT FLOYD DID IF IT'S TRUE! jesus christ read a little

I then took the situation and compared it to myself, I also expressed how I dislike pap, the reasons why and so on
I used Pacman as a example of no bad press, and always good press
how fast they were to post this shit that happened last year and nothing on Floyd covering Hernandez....I find this weird

any who Ima fall back from this forum (limit my post/replies), honestly I am busy and I come here to share and read opinions
I've let the numerous disrespect, and name calling slide...and I have tried not to (backlash) disrespect or step on any toes
always tried to read and understand posters opinions as well as share my own...strange how I am a troll? any way whatever

peace-

Lol... geze....

If true, dude didn't deserve to get struck...

By bodyguards, a professional fighter,.. or anyone

These people thrive off of shit like this... do you guys know how 'famously' rich I would be if I was struck by any person with star power or even their body guards? Haha... paid..

And btw Ken, don't fall back so quickly... im rather enjoying this one..lol

1. I said allegedly.

2. This one's for free...you'll have to do your own homework for the other.




Getting some strange poon is legal...ordering your goon squad to beat down someone that "dissed" you is not.

Seriously bro, leaning on your race as a crutch to why shit isn't working out for you is weak. There's no quicker way to tell the room that you're an asshole than to do that...although I guess if you walked into a room singing "Rocky Top", or doing the Seminole Tomahawk Chant you'd get the same point across.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how this turns out.

I personally think this guy is tryin to get money .14 months later and u want to file a lawsuit. Why wernt the cops called .if theyvwere we would have heard about it then not now .and did it say May 1st? Aint that the day he fought Shane at MGM grand.

LOL.

And the thinning out process of these newbee's begin. First Finito el dinamita now Ken the guy From Japan. Hopefully the trend will continue. Only good posters are wanted on here, if not go to boxingscene.

Of course the guy is out for money..He said floyd gave the thumbs down symbol which was the q for body guards to beat him...what is Floyd supposed to be the mafia now...lol, This law suit isnt going anywhere...They said the police cant make out any one on the video tape so that kills the whole thing.

what happened to Finito? that dude used to talk the most shit about knowing boxing lol.

it's been kind of annoying but good for some laughs. even in this thread one of the first responses is something like "what about Pac having girls on the side?". it reminds me of when a guy will have two girls and they end up fighting over him. it's just a bunch of back and forth but it's not addressing the real problem or doing anything to improve the situation. i bet if all the people swinging from the nuts of Mayweather and Pac told them to get in the damn ring or both of them can retire we would have already seen this fight.

Hey guys i'm new here this is my first post and i have watched boxing for a long time but as of the last 5 yrs i have been a die hard fan of the sport but to the matter at hand i have to agree with this guy. Why wait over a year to file a lawsuit if it was me i would've been dialing the Cops as i was falling to the ground and smilking thinking about all the money i was about to receive. But this guy instead waits over a year to say something get the fuck outta here Stevie Wonder can see this bullshit and i'm sure Dewey Cox can smell it from a mile away

You're a diehard fan, and your first post is about the Floyd Hit Squad?!?

I'd honestly quite like it if the next person who Floyd threatens or attempts to belittle/intimidate steps right up to him and splits him from arsehole to earhole.

I realise of course that the above statement automatically makes me a Pacquaio superfan.

Que sera sera

every time i hear shit like this about Mayweather it reminds me of when James Prince had him shook.

Agreed especially the bold. Welcome to the forum. We have a wealth of knowledge here but do not tolerate fools who only post on one subject/person.

you didnt have to post it so politely... lmao
