Have a problem with Floyd
Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, or their lackluster fight of last week? Maybe you can join the queue of those suing.
After two other lawsuits
involving the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight were filed last week, a third we learnt
surface. And Floyd Mayweather is being
sued by Josie Harris, the mother of his children, according to documents
obtained by Deadspin.
Mayweather served jail time for physically beating Harris
in 2010, but Harris now seeks $20 million in damages due to public comments
Mayweather recently made about her.
Last month, Mayweather sat
down with renowned journalist Katie Couric as a promotion for his fight with
Pacquiao. In that interview, Mayweather was asked about the 2010 incident.
“Did I kick, stomp and beat
someone?” Mayweather asked Couric, via Deadspin. “No, that didn’t happen. I
look in your face and say, ‘No, that didn’t happen.’ Did I restrain a woman
that was on drugs? Yes, I did. So if they say that’s domestic violence, then,
you know what? I’m guilty. I’m guilty of restraining someone.”
Harris finally responded via
civil lawsuit in Los Angeles County that seeks “damages for Mayweather’s false,
malicious and defamatory statements about Harris made during the Couric
interview,” according to Deadspin.
Mayweather made approximately $200 million from last weekend’s
fight.
