Antonio Brown has been making a ton of headlines for his trolling of Tom Brady, but this time, he is making a headline for having to dish out some cash because of his behavior.
TMZ Sports reported on Tuesday that the former NFL wide receiver has been court-ordered to pay Anton Tumanov $1.2 million after failing to show up for hearings in the lawsuit.
Per that report, “the jury found Brown liable for $407,000 for Tumanov’s past and future medical expenses, as well as $793,000 for past and future pain and suffering.”
Back in 2020, Brown reportedly assaulted Tumanov after a dispute with the moving company he worked for. Brown was hit with criminal charges, pleaded no contest and was sentenced to two years of probation for a felony burglary charge, another year on a battery charge and six months on a criminal mischief charge.
“In his suit, Tumanov — who was represented by Jeffrey R. Davis of Jeffrey R. Davis P.A. and Michael Lotto of the Ward Law Group in the case — claimed Brown snapped on him when the two got into a dispute over payment for the services.
Tumanov said the 34-year-old damaged his vehicle and hit him multiple times. In the suit, he said it all caused him “severe bodily injuries.”
As far as Brown, he last played in an NFL game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. His career ended when he stripped off his jersey and pads and ran to the locker room during a game at MetLife Stadium.

While Brown hasn’t officially announced his retirement, it seems unlikely any team signs him ever again.
