LOL, is he living paycheck to paycheck? Why on earth would he want $20M.

He's suing the nightclub after a fight between drake and chris brown happened, he was in there and got hurt.

He's in a profession where ridiculous amounts of money are the norm.

You think they make ridiculous amounts of money? You clearly don't have a family to feed.

Nothing wrong with suing the club. Club should have had better security.
The amount he's asking is interesting though.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!

Could of ruined his eye, he said he had a scratch on it, if he can't see in one eye, or his visibility worsens, then goodbye his career.

But that just warrants why he was involved, some other members got injured as well though.

Why is the club liable for something its customers did?

If we're at McDonalds and I beat you to death with a tire iron because you're a dope who took the last chicken nuggets (also your face is ugly and your mom is fat) McDonald's isn't liable if my rabid swinging knocks off Oz's legs.

Here's a novel idea, Parker sues Drake, Chris Brown and their entourages since they're the morons who actually caused the events that injured him.
As for whether Chris Brown or Drake will be added as defendants, Parker's lawyer, David Jaroslawicz, tells TMZ ... he's waiting for the results of the police investigation. He also wants to review the surveillance tape before making his decision.

In other words if he can't confirm that Chris Brown or Drake did anything themselves that hurt Parker he's not going to bother since the other jerks don't have any money.

Who does Parker think he is? 2012 NBA Regular Season MVP, 2012 NBA Finals MVP LeBawn James? If then $20m would be fitting but sue should have been more like for $20k.

the main reason you ask for 20 mil is so they club will be willing to settle for 5-10 mil and avoid even having to go to court. also his career requires good eye sight so i am not shocked by this at all. however, imagine a world where the dumb people who do dumb shit were the ones who got sued instead of the company where said dumb shit happened

But there's a possibility that the people who did the dumb shit were poor. That's why he has to review the tapes first.
