Vegas police seeking Mayweather in battery case

Police sought boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. for questioning Thursday about a domestic battery report filed by an ex-girlfriend who recanted a similar claim in 2005, police and his lawyer said.

“She alleges he hit her. We’re looking for him to get his side of the story,” said Officer Barbara Morgan, a Las Vegas police spokeswoman. “We’re looking to talk to him as a potential suspect.”

No warrant was issued, and no charges were immediately filed.

Mayweather, 33, is undefeated as a professional fighter. He goes by the nickname “Money” and is considered one of the sport’s top performers.

Mayweather has been arrested several times over the years on battery and assault allegations.

He was acquitted by a Nevada jury in July 2005 after being accused of hitting and kicking Josie Harris during an argument outside a Las Vegas nightclub.
