In another case of domestic violence for the Mayweather clan, Floyd Mayweather Sr. has a warrant out for his arrest, after he allegedly punched a woman.
The father of the boxing great has yet to turn himself in, despite the warrant being issued more than a week ago.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. has notoriously had his share od domestic violence cases, though he was found innocent, it’s a shadow that looms over the boxing legend.
Now his father is in the same boat.
TMZ was first to break the news.
Their report reads,
Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin weren’t the only two people fighting at T-Mobile Arena back in Sept. … cops say Floyd Mayweather Sr. attacked a woman that night and now there’s a warrant out for his arrest.
But, Floyd Sr. says the allegations are 100% not true.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports … the alleged incident went down in Vegas the early hours of Sept. 17 … following the big Canelo vs. GGG fight.
We’re told the alleged victim was heading toward Floyd’s car when an argument broke out between the two. Floyd allegedly told the woman to get out of the car, but she refused so he reached in and dragged her out by the leg.
65-year-old Floyd allegedly made things worse by punching her in the leg once she was out of the car. The accuser claims Floyd then got in the driver’s seat and sped off without her.
The woman was hospitalized for minor injuries. Officials eventually charged Floyd with misdemeanor battery and on January 16, a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to court records.
We spoke with Floyd Sr.’s rep who tells us the alleged victim is “trying to extort money and she’s angry because she’s not getting the money from Floyd. It’s not going the way she wants it to go.”
Showtime Boxing promoter Bob arum chimed in on these allegations in a new interview, and describe’s Floyd Sr. as a very nice man.
Here’s Arum’s statement:
