Those Mayweather boys sure like to fight, cause trouble and beat up their women! This won't be the last time Floyd Jr. is in the news for criminal activity.

I have met Mayweather several times when he has come to a casino I work at. He always shows up with his cronies, who are all pieces of &^#*. Mayweather is no better. They frequently used to go to Prive at Planet Hollywood and the would all beat up people in the club. Mayweather is nothing more than a street thug who happens to be able to box. Thug, Thug, Thug.....

Hey "RealOne" your "UnReal". Also if you own storefronts why not the backs as well? Way not the whole Store??

I own a two local store fronts in Henderson and Summerlin, and Mayweather has been a customer of mine at both locations. We have never had an issue with him. He is actually a very nice person for being as high profile as he is. Ive met other celebrities and wont name them but they were trash compared to Mayweather. He also tips very well. I think those of you who have witnessed "first hand, this thug," you probably don't know how to deal with people.

Maybe he lent his dad and uncle the car and they went looking for teenagers at the roller rink to molest and beat up. Since Uncle beat up that woman in the apartment and dad, is a looser on training Hatton. Or maybe he sent out his uncle and dad to get him some young stuff...
