Allegations and Lawsuit
Martinez claims that Mayweather and his entourage caused a disturbance at the Yard House restaurant, prompting him to take out his phone and record the scene. When Mayweather noticed Martinez recording, he allegedly signaled for one of his bodyguards to intervene. Subsequently, the bodyguard reportedly struck Martinez, causing him to fall to the ground, and then wrestled with him to take away his phone. Martinez asserts that he sustained injuries during the incident, requiring ongoing treatment, and is also experiencing mental and emotional distress.
