Prosecution advocate Rachel Braidwood told the court the duo turned violent after trying to claim a taxi at a rank on Victoria Street in Douglas at 12:30am on 5 July.
They leaned inside the taxi to launch a flurry of punches at a woman and her boyfriend before police arrived to drag them away from the incident.
The court heard both had drunk around ten pints of lager each that night, although former bouncer Mr O'Sullivan told police has wasn't drunk because he could down 20 points in a night.
