Employees at Floyd Mayweather's gym in Los Angeles have staged a protest at the facility after claiming the boxing legend's 'Money Team' company has not paid them for weeks.
Furious employees held up signs and shouted into a microphone outside the gym on Highland Avenue, which they say is being closed after non-payment left them unable to cover rent and bills.
One of the posters accused Mayweather's company of “modern slavery,” while another simply said, “Team $ has no $.”
“We are here to let everyone know that we have not been treated well,” said one of the employees.
'Even if you work for another company and you don't get paid, you're afraid to show up and say something because you know how companies work. They silence you and fire you because everything is “at will.”'
Disgruntled fitness workers also accuse the Mayweather Boxing + Fitness group of violating the California Labor Code, according to Citizen.

While they are outraged by the treatment they have received, employees at the Los Angeles gym have no idea whether Floyd himself is aware of their financial complaints.
'Who knows if he is conscious or not? Not us,” said another worker. 'They told me we can't tell you. I can't tell you that our studio is about to close and that you were here two weeks ago. They've silenced us.'
