Man Suing Floyd Mayweather Over Alleged 2022 L.A. Assault Demands $3.3 Million

The man suing Floyd Mayweather over an alleged assault he ordered his security guard to execute demanded over $3 million in damages, In Touch can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Eduardo Andres Torres Martinez revealed the amount he is seeking from the famed fighter over the February 10, 2022, incident at Yard House at L.A. Live in Downtown Los Angeles.

Eduardo said Floyd, 47, should be on the hook for $1.5 million in general damages, $40,000 in medical expenses, $500,000 for future medical expenses, $300,000 for loss of future earnings and $1 million in punitive damages. The grand total is $3,340,000.

As In Touch first previously reported, in his lawsuit, Eduardo said he was a guest at Yard House on the night in question. He said Floyd and his Mayweather Money Team arrived a short time after him. Eduardo said the boxer and his team’s arrival caused a commotion with fans getting excited for Floyd being at the restaurant.

In his lawsuit, Eduardo said he took out his phone and started to record Floyd. He said Floyd instructed one of his bodyguards to handle Eduardo.

Eduardo said the bodyguard came over to him and “negligently, carelessly, intentionally, maliciously and/or physically touched, struck, and/or hit” him.

The alleged victim said the hit knocked him to the ground. Eduardo said the bodyguard attempted to “confiscate” his phone.

Eduardo said he suffered severe pain and suffering from the incident. He said he racked up medical bills and will continue to need treatment for his injuries.

The man said the alleged assault caused him a great deal of emotional suffering. Eduardo also named the owners of Yard House as a defendant claiming they were negligent in handling the incident. Eduardo sued for assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and general negligence.

As In Touch first reported, Floyd denied all allegations of wrongdoing and asked that the case be thrown out. Floyd denied Eduardo’s claim he instructed his bodyguard to attack him. The fighter’s attorney 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].”

Further, Floyd’s lawyer said, “[Floyd] alleges that a reasonable person could not have foreseen that [Floyd’s] actions could cause injury to [Eduardo].”

As In Touch first reported, Floyd is facing a similar lawsuit filed by a man named William Rodriguez-Mercado.

William claimed he was out in public when Floyd and a woman were jogging near him. He said Floyd saw him filming and confronted him. He said Floyd then ordered his team to get his phone.

William claimed that, “multiple adult males … proceeded to rush out of the SUVs following [Floyd] and confront [William].” William said he was told, “Nobody ever rushes the champ like that” by one of the men. The alleged victim said he was struck in the face and knocked to the ground, where he was repeatedly punched and kicked. William said he was “knocked unconscious and does not know the duration of this beating.” William claimed Floyd stood by and watched the “assault and battery.”

William said the men took his phone. He claimed to have called police but they never showed to the scene. “As a direct and proximate result of the actions of Defendants, [William] sustained serious injuries to his bodily limbs, organs and systems, head and face, all or some of which condition may be permanent and disabling, and all to Plaintiff’s damage in a sum in excess of $15,000.00,” the suit read.

Floyd denied all allegations of wrongdoing. William’s lawsuit is ongoing.
