Over the course of his legendary career in the ring, the 40-year-old pugilist has committed multiple counts of domestic violence, with the first incidents occurring in 2001 and 2002 against Melissa Brim, the mother of his eldest daughter.
“During an argument [Mayweather] swung open a car door, hitting her jaw, pushed her into the car and punched her several times in the face and body, according to a lawsuit she later filed,” reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “After the ‘brutal and unprovoked attack,’ Brim drove to a convenience store and called police, the lawsuit said.” Five months later, Brim accused Mayweather of striking her in the neck while they were at the mall with their daughter. She dropped the lawsuit in 2003 after Mayweather pleaded guilty to two counts of domestic battery, and one additional count of misdemeanor battery involving another woman.
In 2004, he was convicted on two counts of misdemeanor battery for attacking a pair of women in a Las Vegas nightclub, and the following year was busted for punching and kicking a bouncer.
One of the most harrowing examples of his abusive streak came in 2010, when Mayweather was arrested for allegedly beating up his girlfriend at the time, Josie Harris, in front of their children.
Harris was saved by Mayweather’s then 10-year-old son, Koraun, who sprinted out of the back of the house house to a guest home on the property occupied by one of Harris’ friends (Mayweather’s pal was blocking the main stairs). Harris’ friend proceeded to call the police, according to the report.
Included in the police report is Koraun’s written witness statement—a truly devastating read:
