Problems date back to 2003 where Mayweather and “Friends” were in Vegas at the Ra nightclub when they met two ladies and as it turned out they were friends of Josie Harris, the Mother of his children.
The two females were Herneatha McGill and Karra Blackburn and it is said that McGill attempted to leave when she saw him coming.
Her testimony was re-printed by the Las Vegas Sun and according to McGill, the source of the animus between them and the presumptive motive for the unprovoked attack was simply Mayweather’s anger that Harris had friends that he had not approved of.
The two women eventually left the club but Mayweather and “friends” followed them outside and later he ((Mayweather) testified that he saw the women steal his friend’s wallet.
Casino security intervened (according to the prosecutor) Mayweather picked up and shook a female security guard and was eventually handcuffed and issued a citation.
The club security told the two Women (McGill and Blackburn) not to file a formal complaint against Mayweather or they would “pay for it in the streets,” according to the women’s testimony.
A short sixteen days later they chose to lay charges against Mayweather and in June 2004 Mayweather was found guilty of two counts of battery.
He (again) received a suspended sentence and ordered to complete “impulse control” counseling.
The guilty verdict was later vacated in 2005 and the charges were “dismissed per negotiations” in July 2008.
Four months after the Ra melee, Mayweather’s “impulses” were again drawn into question.
Again the setting was outside a Vegas nightclub, but this time the parking lot in front of SRO, where Mayweather and Harris were seated in his Bentley.
All parties seem to agree that the fight started after Harris confronted Mayweather about his behavior with another woman.
According to statements Harris made to the police Mayweather repeatedly began punching and kicking Harris in the car and then dragging her out of the car by her hair, causing a facial laceration.
She also told officers Mayweather had beaten her before and eventually Mayweather was arrested and charged with felony battery.
At the trial in July 2005 Harris changed her story and claimed she instigated the fight because she was jealous of the other woman.
Harris testified that she had lied to police about any punching and kicking, going so far as to claim that Mayweather would never hit her, cause he’s “like a teddy bear on the inside.”
Mayweather was acquitted and shortly afterwards he made the purchase of a $500,000 25 carat diamond ring for her.
The most famous violent incident involving Mayweather occurred in September 2010, when he confronted Harris about dating NBA Guard C.J. Watson.
According to Harris, her children, and the police—none of whom have ever been contradicted on any specific point—what unfolded that evening was utterly terrifying.
Although Mayweather and Harris was no longer an item, and Mayweather had his own live-in girlfriend, Shantel “Miss” Jackson, Harris was still living in a home that Mayweather owned.
Once again a heated argument ensued and Harris called police and told the officers that no battery had taken place but that she just wanted him to leave the premises.
Harris was woke up by the sound of the phone and Mayweather screaming at her about texts he had found from Watson on her cell phone.
She finally admitted this and at that point Mayweather lost it and clearly exploded.
He punched her repeatedly in the rear of her head, pulled her off the couch by her hair, and twisted her arm.
He screamed that he would “kill” Harris and Watson, that he would make both “disappear.” Harris screamed for her children Koraun and Zion, aged 10 and 9, to call the police.
Mayweather turned to the kids, according to the police report, and yelled that he would “beat their asses if they left the house or called the police.” Koraun tried to run up the stairs, but Mayweather’s associate blocked his path.
Eventually, he was able to make it outside, and the police were summoned. Koraun told police he had witnessed his father punching and kicking his mother while she lay on the ground.
By the time the cops had entered the home, Mayweather being the “nice guy” he is had fled, taking Harris’s cell phone with him.
So given the fact he has issues concerning violence and spousal abuse, he’s a draw for anyone that likes boxing.
Question is – can he out fight Manny Pacquiao?
