The third article from the boxing press (courtesy of Saddoboxing) says:

"Harris, 25, testified Thursday that she had lied to the police because she was angry that Mayweather, 28, had left her for another woman. She described him as a "teddy bear inside" and said she knew "no matter what I did, he would never put his hands on me.""

Mayweather removed her from the car after she kicked out his windshield.

That's it.
I didn't read the articles until now, because I remember clearly when all of this went down. I was just looking for links for Eagle since he said that he couldn't find info.

I think you need to go back and reread that 2nd article again, because it confirms what I said.



First charge, and conviction. They don't state who the victim was in the article, but it was his baby mama Josie Harris.

Second charge, and conviction.

He also faced a charge of felony domestic violence for allegedly striking the mother of his three children outside a Las Vegas nightclub in 2003. In the 2005 trial by jury he was acquitted of hitting, kicking and pulling his girlfriend’s hair. The accuser recanted her version of events while on the witness stand. Josie Harris testified that she lied to police because she was angry Mayweather had left her for another woman. In front of the jury, Harris described Mayweather as a “teddy bear inside”.
Third charge, which makes it a felony, and like I said, the baby mama (Josie Harris) recanted her story on the stand, and the charges were dropped.

You think that at the time of the incident, when she filed the report, that she knew he would go to jail if he was convicted? I doubt it. You think that Mayweather and his team didn't put the fear in her that if he goes to jail that he wouldn't be able to support her or her 3 children? I bet they did. You think that she didn't get used to the life of having money, and nice things for her and her three kids? Of course she did. Did she want to risk losing that support? Hell no. So why wouldn't she recant her story, she doesn't want to lose that lifestyle, or her means of support.

Ok so I took it a step further and went to the Nevada state court records there are only 2 cases the first was in 2001 (trial held in 2002) the second was the one where the woman recanted. There are no court records of the two women in a nightclub incident.

The 2005 case: case number 04-C-205812-C

-0001 200.481 Battery Felony $0.00 Not Guilty
07/29/2005 DEFENDANT WAS FOUND TO BE NOT GUILTY
-0001 200.485 Battery-Constitutes Domestic Violence Felony $0.00 Not Guilty
07/29/2005 DEFENDANT WAS FOUND TO BE NOT GUILTY
-0001 33.018 Acts which constitutes domestic violence Felony $0.00 Not Guilty
07/29/2005 DEFENDANT WAS FOUND TO BE NOT GUILTY


The 2002 case which was battery where he got in a fight with a bouncer named GREGORY, whom did not pursue the charges. Case 02-C-181611-C

Only 1 entry for this case. Party Name Party Type Status Attorney Bar# Attorney Name Total Attorneys Address Phone Mayweather, Floyd PRIMARY DEFENDANT INACTIVE as of 04/25/2002 000886 Wright, Richard A. 1 NV

These are from the Nevada court system, if you think these are false you can contact them directly at Blackstone Criminal/Probate Court Inquiry look them up yourself if you want to verify my statement.

So there you go he has no record of hitting women, he was charged with it once and the woman recanted her statement. Now you are free to bring up conspiracy theories about these cases, but these are the facts.
Exactly. The facts are he's never been convicted, as court records show. I've always thought if he really had got up to this there would be much more made of it by the journalists who seem to despise him (Doug Fischer, Dan Rafael). The only reason I can think that it wouldn't be is that it might reflect negatively on fighters who they are fans of who've also been accused of domestic abuse, like Gatti or Corrales. But I doubt it.

Diane, would you think it fair if people accused Cotto of being some depraved, sexual predator even if he is never convicted on it (i.e. off the basis of that incident with the secretary)?
