This is where America exemplifies a great degree of hypocrisy. The many millions of people who were outraged by Ray Rice’s singular act of domestic violence will turn around and pay to attend and watch Floyd Mayweather’s boxing match — including millions of women.
Some women will even host fight parties to watch Money Mayweather, helping to make him even more millions of dollars on top of what he already has, despite the fact that Mayweather is a chronic woman beater who even spent time in jail for his transgressions.
Now Mayweather took the time to defend Rice and blast the NFL and Baltimore Ravens for indefinitely suspending him and cutting him from the team, respectively, this past week for the emergence of a video showing Rice knocking out his then-fiancé Jonay Palmer.
Pretty Boy Floyd ridiculed the NFL for exponentially raising the two-game suspension to an indefinite suspension that puts Rice’s football career in great peril. Mayweather, who is now being sued by yet another woman for beating and humiliating her, said a deal’s a deal.
“They had said that they had suspended him for two games,” Mayweather told reporters, according to The Ring. “Wheather they saw the tape or not, I truly believe a person should stick to their word. “If you tell me you’re going to do something, do what you say you’re going to do. But once again, I’m not in the NFL, so I can’t really speak about the situation.”
As most recall, Mayweather had to spend two months in jail in 2012 for domestic battery charges, said he saw the Rice video but still doesn’t believe the NFL should’ve extended the suspension.
“I think there are a lot worst things that go on in other people’s households also. It’s just not caught on video,” said Mayweather.
What did you expect a serial woman beater to say? Mayweather, 37, has a long and trifling history of beating up women in ways he never would with a man:
In 2002, he pleaded guilty to two counts of domestic violence and was given a six-month suspended sentence and two days of house arrest.
Mayweather was also convicted of misdemeanor battery in 2004 for fighting with two women in a Las Vegas nightclub and given a one-year suspended sentence and ordered into counseling.
Mayweather said he’s been the victim of false accusations.
“Like I’ve said in the past, no bumps, no bruises, no nothing,” Mayweather said.
It is here that Mayweather descends into the idiotic with his next statement.
“With O.J. and Nicole (Simpson), you seen pictures. With Chris Brown and Rihanna, you seen pictures. With (Chad) Ochocinco and Evelyn, you seen pictures. You guys have yet to see any pictures of a battered woman, a woman who says she was kicked and beaten (by Mayweather). So I just live my life and try to stay positive, and try to become a better person each and every day.”
If Mayweather is innocent of all these charges of domestic violence — including holding a gun to a woman while he
Mayweather said he wishes Rice “nothing but the best” and suggested that he understood what he was going through.
“I know he’s probably going through a lot right now because football is his passion, football is his love. It’s no different than with me being in the fight game,” Mayweather was quoted as saying. “If they told me, ‘Floyd, you’ve got the biggest deal in sports history,’ and then a couple months later, they say, ‘You know what, your deal is taken away from you’ — oh, man. It’s not really just the money, it’s just the love of the sport, the passion.”
Mayweather will put his WBC/WBA welterweight titles on the line on Saturday night when he fights Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas.
