Floyd Mayweather Tells Judge He Didn’t Order Bodyguard to Viciously Attack Fan in Downtown L.A.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. demanded the lawsuit accusing him of ordering a vicious beatdown on a man in Downtown Los Angeles be dismissed, In Touch can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Floyd, 47, asked a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to throw out the lawsuit brought by Eduardo Andres Torres Martinez.

The fighter denied all allegations of wrongdoing in the suit. He argued that Eduardo was not damaged or injured by him or his team.

Further, his lawyer argued, “[Floyd] alleges that [Eduardo], named or unnamed herein, were careless and negligent in and about the matters alleged in the complaint, and said carelessness and negligence proximately contributed to the happening of the accident and to the injuries, loss and damage, if any, complained of by [Eduardo].”

In addition, Floyd’s attorney said, “[Floyd] alleges that a reasonable person could not have foreseen that [Floyd’s] actions could cause injury to [Eduardo].” Back in January, Eduardo sued Floyd, the fighter’s The Money Team and the company who owns the restaurant Yard House.

The alleged victim demanded damages for an assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and general negligence.

Eduardo claimed he was visiting Yard House at L.A. Live on February 10, 2022.

The man said Floyd and his “Mayweather Money Team” entered the restaurant. The alleged victim said Floyd and his team were swarmed by fans which caused a commotion. Eduardo said he pulled out his phone and started filming Floyd and his team.

He said the fighter saw him filming and instructed one of his bodyguards to go over to Eduardo.

In his suit, Eduardo said the bodyguard came up to him and “negligently, carelessly, intentionally, maliciously and/or physically touched, struck, and/or hit” him. He said that the hit caused him to fall to the ground.

Eduardo said he tussled with the bodyguard who was attempting to “confiscate” his cell phone. Eduardo added the owners of Yard House as a defendant claiming they were negligent in handling the situation.

The man said he was “placed in great fear for his life, health and safety.”

In court documents, Eduardo said he suffered severe and permanent past, present and future physical and bodily injuries. On top of that, he said he had medical bills from the incident that needed to be reimbursed. The man said he suffers from extreme mental anguish and anxiety since the incident. His lawsuit demanded unspecified damages. Earlier this month, Floyd was hit with a lawsuit by an exotic dancer named Jasmine Woodward.

The lawsuit filed in Las Vegas accused the boxer of slapping Jasmine in the face during an argument over money on April 23, 2023.

Jasmine said she was slapped after asking Floyd about his strip club’s “failure to pay her for the shifts that she worked earlier in the weekend.”

Her lawsuit said Floyd “slapped her in the face in front of other dancers and customers on the floor of the Club.” Two other dancers sued Floyd for alleged unpaid wages. Floyd’s rep said the boxer “vehemently denies the allegations.”
