LAS VEGAS (AP) — Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is being sued for unpaid rent and breach of contract after his promotions company was evicted from a Las Vegas office.
Mayweather lawyer Jeff Morse on Thursday downplayed the July 27 eviction of Mayweather Promotions LLC from what he said was a substandard building.
He said the company was going to move anyway, and has reopened. He declined to say where.
Attorney Ross Goodman says Mayweather owed almost $63,000 in outstanding rent, and never notified the landlord of any property problems.
Mayweather earned more than $20 million in May from his fight in Las Vegas against "Sugar" Shane Mosley.
A court date hasn't been set in the civil lawsuit filed against Mayweather in Clark County District Court by landlord TDF Investments LLC.
