A U.S. District Court judge has ruled in favor of Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr in the first round of a lawsuit against the operators of floydmayweather.net
The judge issued a temporary restraining order against the “unknown entity”, Atlanta Sports & Entertainment Marketing.
Court documents reveal various allegations, including that Mayweather objects to his name and likeness being used in conjunction with boxing and related services.
It’s been reported that the site allegedly costs $50 to sign up to a membership, where you can view video and other footage of the boxer.
While the website is still online, the content is no longer available - “404 Not Found”. It looks like Mayweather has won round one!
