Floyd Mayweather Sued Over Palms Incident
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was sued in a Nevada Court arising out of an incident that occurred at the Palms Hotel-Casino last year. Anthony Cliff claims he was beaten by Mayweather's bodyguards at Mayweather's request, and was punched and kicked while on the ground. The Palms was also named, on an inadequate security claim, and with allegations that Palms security did nothing to assist Cliff during the beating.
Mayweather can absolutely be liable for the actions of his bodyguards, whether he ordered the attack or not. Since the incident occurred in a valet parking area, it should be on tape somewhere. The extent of Cliff's injuries are not known at this point.
