Francisco Aguilar, the chairman of the Nevada commission, said he could not comment on pending litigation.
The complaint alleges Sharif Rahman was injured during the sparring and had to seek medical care. In the suit, he said he was forced to spar rounds of five, six and seven minutes in length.
The suit alleges a bystander told Sharif to leave the ring because he was no longer able to effectively compete with Cameron. However, it goes on to say that Mayweather himself would not allow Sharif Rahman to quit. The suit charges Mayweather personally ordered Cameron to go after Sharif Rahman and continue the fight if he left the ring.
Mayweather “responded by telling Mr. Cameron and others that if Sharif left the ring to beat his ass outside the ring,” the suit claims. “Sharif feared for his safety and was forced to continue to fight.”
As a result, the lawsuit alleges that Rahman was injured. It claims he needs ongoing medical treatment to help him heal.
The suit further alleges that Hasim Rahman Jr. arrived and demanded to fight Cameron in essence to avenge the beating his younger brother took. The suit claims Mayweather said the Rahman Jr.-Cameron sparring session would be “a fight to the death,” and that Mayweather bet large sums of money on Cameron to win.
The Rahmans also claim Showtime did not get a release from them and they did not consent to having their names and likenesses used in the program.
