Floyd Mayweather
The highest paid athlete in the world, championship
boxer, Floyd Mayweather was accused of kidnapping and beating two
employees for allegedly stealing his jewelry. The two men suffered
broken arms and legs after being lured to a location in Las Vegas,
allegedly on Mayweather’s orders, where he and his crew are accused
of beating them with bats and clubs. No arrests have been made in
connection with the claims by the two currently unnamed men, who
went to the hospital for treatment, then retained an attorney in the
matter.
TMZ, who broke the story, contacted Mayweather’s
camp for comment and none has been returned. Mayweather’s silence is
leading the public to believe the story is true. He should make a
statement on the matter, as people are filling in the blanks and in
an unflattering way. Mayweather is scheduled to fight challenger
Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas on May 3, 3014. Investors, business
associate, boxing pundits and fans alike are concerned regarding
what the assault and kidnapping accusations will turn into, even
though Mayweather has not been arrested at this time.
Mayweather’s net worth is estimated to be
$400,000,000. His freedom and career are not worth a few pieces of
replaceable jewelry. Former athlete, OJ Simpson, is sitting behind
bars on a 30-year prison sentence over attempting to retrieve his
memorabilia that was stolen, via detaining/kidnapping two men at
gunpoint in a hotel room.
To the public in general, if someone steals
your property, don’t take matters into your own hands. Call the
police and or file a lawsuit. Breaking the law to retrieve your
property could cost you far more than it is worth.
