“You know that was in my past. And of course, with any situation, when someone talks about domestic violence with a fighter like myself, when they say Floyd was involved with domestic violence, restraining someone? Yes I did that. I’m guilty of restraining. As far as stomp, kick and beat a woman, the world would see photos. For so many years, they tried to defeat me in so many different ways as far as negative things but I couldn’t be defeated inside the ring so they tried to defeat me on the outside … Did people want to see me fail? Absolutely. But I beat all odds“Like I said before, hopefully like yourself, I’m still waiting to see photos.”Floyd Mayweather on ESPNhttps://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/01/floyd-mayweather-domestic-violence-espn
