Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not known for his offense inside the squared circle, preferring to duck, dodge and counterpunch his opponents until the final bell sounds. If he has jewelry taken from him, though? Be prepared for consequences, according to TMZ Sports.

The website is reporting rumors that Mayweather ordered a severe beating be brought down upon two employees who were hired to work on one of Floyd's Las Vegas homes, and are believed to have stolen from him. One source told TMZ, "It was some Breaking Bad s**t."

TMZ also reports the men have steadfastly denied any theft, and are now retaining legal representatives. The charges that could come against Mayweather include attempted murder, mayhem and kidnapping since he allegedly lured them to an off-site location where the beating occurred. Apparently these two employees were battered with multiple weapons, with clubs being specifically mentioned. Floyd's "Money Team" has not responded to the accusations.

Mayweather calls Maidana better man than Amir Khan?

This issue sounds extremely serious, and may cast his upcoming fight with Marcos Maidana into doubt. It also harkens back to darker days in Mayweather's career when he fought Miguel Cotto with the specter of prison time for domestic violence hovering over it.

Mayweather went to jail for three months soon after defeating Cotto, and since then has projected a cleaner, family-oriented image. This breaking news flies counter to that visage.

If he's to be believed when he discusses Maidana as an opponent, this distraction is not something he needs in his life. "You can't take any fighter for granted, anything can happen," Mayweather said. "... This guy is tailor-made to make a war."

He also mentioned what a difficult fighter Maidana is in a tweet directed at boxer Amir Khan, who had been rumored to be a candidate to face Mayweather on May 3rd. "I don't have an easy fight on May 3, 2014, so I can't over look @ChinoMaidana," Money tweeted.
