They are the sons of former Lineal/WBC/IBF world heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman. The boxing matches occurred at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas. After the event was filmed, the Nevada Athletic Commission ordered Floyd Mayweather to appear before the five-person panel at a meeting to answer questions about unsafe training conditions at his Las Vegas gym.

The commission was concerned about scenes that were broadcast during the second episode of the Showtime (TV network) "All Access" series that aired in advance of Mayweather's rematch against Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in 2014. The scenes showed Cameron competing against the Rahman brothers in boxing matches fought under "dog house" rules. Mayweather was cleared of any wrongdoing.
