Earlier this year, a man sued Mayweather for a 2022 incident where one of his bodyguards allegedly struck him and tried to wrestle his phone away after he was caught trying to film the boxer during a visit to an LA restaurant, according to the Los Angeles Times.

A Mayweather rep later claimed the boxer had left the restaurant without incident because it was getting too crowded.
