Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. checks out the Knicks during last season's NBA playoffs.
The alleged beating took place at an “off-site location” with Mayweather present, along with his “people” and that a variety of weapons, such as “clubs” were used, according to TMZ.
“Our sources say the attack was so brutal the men could have easily died,” the report went on. “Both men had broken arms and legs and were hospitalized for several days.”
Another source told TMZ “it was some ‘Breaking Bad s--t.’”

On Friday, TMZ posted supposed copies of the actual X-rays of the injuries suffered, such as a “broken arm,” a “snapped pinkie” and “evidence of extreme torture.”
“We’re told the men are adamant they never took anything from Floyd and it appears Floyd realizes that now,” the initial TMZ report said. “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.”

The 37-year-old Mayweather (45-0, 26 knockouts) is scheduled to face welterweight slugger Marcos Maidana (35-3, 31 knockouts) on May 3 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. An attempt to reach Mayweather was not successful. Floyd Mayweather Jr. delivers a beating to Canelo Alvarez last year in Las Vegas, but local police say they have no knowledge the boxer beat up employees as TMZ reported earlier this week.
Despite a TMZ report alleging that boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. organized the beat-down of some underlings who stole jewelry from his home, the Las Vegas Metro Police Department are not currently investigating the incident, which at this point is nothing more than a “rumor,” a police spokesman told the Daily News on Friday.
Mayweather, the top boxer in the sport, is alleged to have “orchestrated” an assault on two employees “several weeks ago” he believed to have stolen the jewelry from his Las Vegas home, according to TMZ. Laura Meltzer, a public information officer for the Las Vegas police, said that so far no victim has come forward to file a criminal report.
“So I’ve been trying to put this rumor to rest all week,” she said in a phone interview. “We’ve had a variety of reports that have come out stating this event occurred. We have not had a victim come forward and make a report like what is being alleged. So if this event occurred, it’s something where the victim has not come forward to the police to make an official complaint.”
As a result, the police, led by the violent crimes unit, have not launched an investigation into the incident.
“As of right now, the bureau commander over there is not aware of any complaint that has been officially filed,” she said. “So again, if this is a victim who is choosing not to come forward and make a report - then that’s up to the victim to do. We don’t have any say in that. There is no criminal complaint on file so there is no reason to go and contact Mr. Mayweather.”
There’s also been no contact from an attorney representing any of the victims, despite a reference to a lawyer for the injured parties in the TMZ report. An attorney or a third party cannot bring forward a criminal complaint, anyway, Meltzer said.
