I think anyone who supports him needs their head examined. His violent past has been known from the beginning of his career. Boxing has a problem and it's never dealt it. It's almost looked at as part of the sport or the assumption that we people should be able to understand.
With Floyd's history, he should have a restraining order against him stoping him from contact with any breathing female. He comes across as unhinged and psychotic. Anyway, money and misogyny talks sometimes race.(when it comes to fans)
This article was written in 2015 and it's absolutely chilling. He should be in jail for longer but for the money he earns, the boxing worlds are willing to turn a blind eye to it all. Or maybe it's not turning a blind eye but it's accepted behaviour they are confident it can be swept if it got too heated.
"Ironically, the story begins with Mayweather claiming to be a champion for battered women. In 2001, Mayweather fought what was then the biggest fight of his career, against the favored Diego “Chico” Corrales. Corrales, a deeply troubled but usually benevolent soul, was facing an impending jail sentence for assaulting his wife. Mayweather, always eager to get under his opponents’ skin, pounced on it. He dedicated his performance to “all the battered women in the world” and even entered the ring to music bashing violence against women. It worked.
Floyd Mayweather is a misogynist. And not just a misogynist, but a batterer, and a serial batterer at that. This is a statement of fact that you will rarely see or hear from the professional boxing media, many of whom remain hopelessly dependent on the reigning box office king’s goodwill for access. It’s certainly not one you will hear from any of the assembled talking heads on Showtime, the CBS-owned cable network to which Mayweather is contractually wed. And while it may be easy enough to guess why the boxing media has been so willing to cover for Mayweather’s sins, it’s less obvious why so many others are so willing to look the other way.
Floyd Mayweather’s history of misogyny, expressed—as he is wont to do—through violence, is well-documented and reprehensible. It extends over a dozen years and includes at least seven separate physical assaults on five different women that resulted in arrest or citation, as well as several other instances where the police had to be summoned in response to an actual or perceived threat from Mayweather.
It’s clear enough that Mayweather is a serial batterer of women, but even that is an oversimplification. To truly place these repeated acts of brutality in context requires a broader exploration of Mayweather’s attitudes and actions toward women.
It’s no secret that Mayweather, who goes by the nickname “Money,” loves his possessions; according to Harris, Mayweather prizes his trophies of wealth above his in-ring accomplishments. “That is the reward. He prides himself off that more than the belts,” Harris told Yahoo. “He loves that he can hop on a private jet or buy any watch or buy any ring.” It doesn’t take a huge inferential leap to see that Mayweather both views the women in his life as little more than property and expects them to unhesitatingly share that view.
