Adrien Broner hit with $4 million judgment in Las Vegas


Adrien Broner has been ordered to pay $4 million for assaulting a man at a strip club back in 2017.

According to a report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Broner shoved a woman and knocked out Carlos Gonzalez in an altercation that was caught on camera.

"Broner's boxing career had essentially weaponized his body, which he used to violently attack [Gonzalez]," Gonzalez' lawyer Ash Garnier wrote in court papers.

"The incident itself was entirely unprovoked, and he's really a menace to society," he said. "We're going to do everything we can to collect against Adrien Broner, but that's an uphill battle, for sure."

Broner was thrown in jail last month for contempt of court after he failed to pay more than $800,000 to a woman he assaulted in 2018.

Just like his case in Ohio, Broner reportedly avoided the lawsuit in Las Vegas which prompted District Judge Adriana Escobar to grant a motion for default judgment.

The 31-year-old Broner last saw action against eight-division Manny Pacquiao in January 2019 where he lost via unanimous decision. —MGP, GMA News
