Floyd Mayweather allegedly involved in beating over missing jewellery

Floyd Mayweather allegedly orchestrated a savage attack on two of his employees he suspected of stealing his jewellery ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Sports ... the two men had been hired to work on Floyd's Vegas homes ... but when jewelry went missing, Floyd pointed the finger at them.

We're told the men claim they were contacted several weeks ago and instructed to meet Floyd at an off-site location.

When the men arrived, they claim Floyd was waiting for them -- along with a number of his "people" -- who proceeded to beat the living crap out of them with various weapons, including clubs.

Our sources say the attack was so brutal the men could have easily died. Both men had broken arms and legs and were hospitalized for several days.

One source put it this way, "It was some 'Breaking Bad' s**t."

We're told the men are adamant they never took anything from Floyd and it appears Floyd realizes that now. But here's the problem for the champ -- sources familiar with the situation say the attack amounts to attempted murder, mayhem and kidnapping. We're told the men have retained a lawyer.

We reached out to Floyd's people for comment -- so far, no word back.

Pacquiao vs. Bradley II: Weigh-in video, Manny and Tim make weight, nobody cares.

 

It's a dumb match-up and a dumb rematch.

Last chance saloon for Manny

If he doesn't get blind judges like last time (or Mayweather's last time), he'll be fine. He'll still be broke as hell, but fine.

Pacquiao won. Surprise surprise :rolleyes:

 

116-112 x 2, 118-110 so no controversy there, he won it back free and clear.

Brock Lesnar punched Heath Herring so hard that he retired. This would be a bloodbath. I would pay good money to watch it.

 

Also, Cyborg vs Pacquiao. My money is on "her".

Great to see The Executioner can still cut it at the age of 49.

Maidana is a stout brawler. Amir Khan boxed him to a decision without much hassle. Mayweather is going to counter-punch him from the outside until the cows come home.

King Mayweather!

It was a close fight. Mayweather won, but by a smaller margin than usual. Of course one of the judges "saw" a draw :rolleyes:

People are creeping closer, just to add Amir Khan looked good as well he maybe ready to take the streak

Is he managed by Paul Heyman?

 

(He looked good but he's nowhere near the level he needs to consistently be in order to beat Mayweather)

He does need a Heyman in his corner!

Yea the problem with Khan and we saw it again last night was the pushing, the constant pushing!

Anyone see Broners interview? This guy is the biggest chump in boxing (nsfw btw)

Froch vs Groves this weekend!

Should hopefully be a good'un. Well, it'll certainly be better than Fury vs. Chisora in July. Seriously, BoxRec, you call that a 5* fight but not this?!
