TMZ Sports brings word that CSI Entertainment is suing Floyd Mayweather Jr, seeking to claim damages for “Money’s” ill-fated bouts with Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao and to stop him from facing Mike Zambidis next week.
The news comes just days after ESPN revealed that Mayweather (50-0, 27 KO) got slapped with felony charges over a bad check.
Per the report, things were similarly chaotic behind the scenes. CSI alleges that they paid $4.5 million for the rights to both the Tyson and Pacquiao bouts, only for Mayweather to go behind their backs, set up the Zambidis bout with a separate promoter, and “secretly [sign] a separate deal with another company to stream the fight with Pacquiao on Netflix from the Sphere in Las Vegas.”
The laws of comedy demand that Mayweather face a third, equally humiliating legal dispute in the immediate future, so we’ll keep you in the loop.
