Floyd Mayweather Jr. ARRESTED in Las Vegas: Reports

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has reportedly been arrested in Las Vegas following domestic violence claims, TMZ reports.

Grand larceny charges were booked about 10:45 a.m. and involve personal items stolen from Mayweather's former girlfriend Josie Harris, including a cell phone, per the Las Vegas Review Journal.

Harris called police around 5 a.m. yesterday from her home, saying the professional boxer had attacked her and threatened to kill her, according to TMZ.

More to come. This is a developing story...

Maybe Pacquiao should put on a wig and a dress.

On the other side of the story, Ricky Hatton was caught on video snorting cocaine... Waiting for HP to post this full story here:

As usual. A woman claims abuse and public opinion immediately makes the man guilty. Due process be damned. Ugh!

Honestly I don't know what happened, but the guy has a history of violence against women so if people believe it I can't say I blame them.

Let's see...

2002 Plead guilty on 2 counts of Domestic Violence

2004 - Received 1 year suspended jail sentence for misdemeanor battery of 2 women at a nightclub

2004 - Plead guilty on misdemeanor battery for assaulting a nightclub bouncer

2005 - Found innocent of assaulting his girlfriend when she changed her story at trial

2009 - Investigated after a shooting after his car was ID'd leaving the scene

Yeah... It's obviously just a public witch hunt! He's just been in the wrong place at the right time... A lot.

Whatever color your trash bags are doesn't change the fact what inside is trash. This guy is trash. Any man who would hit a woman is trash.

Punk. Won't fight Manny Pacquio. Racist ranter.

[KindMisica]

"Punk"? or time honored practicioner of "The Heel" role? The fight will happen. And it will do record numbers because Floyd understands there has to be a villian. He will be the draw. Manny the generic, cookie-cutter "hero" who may succeed, may fail.

Good points. Definitely acting like a stock villain on WWE.

I think Floyd Mayweather is undoubtedly a total _________ .

Victim? Is this the same chick who lied before?

[Spartan112]

11:28 AM on 09/12/2010

Supposedly...but is it not possible she was paid off before? He does have a history of violence against women.

His son backed up the story. Daddy was on top of Mommy punching and kicking her.

You should know better man. Walk away, you gonna lose more than you gonna gain arguing with this woman.

With this bad press you gonna have to fight pacquiao now.

Afraid to get in the ring with PacMan but willing to beat up women. Stay classy pretty boy.

She has no bruises, meaning he didn't hit her. If you got hit by Floyd Mayweather you'd have bruises. Money hungryyyyyyyyy.

[Bados]

07:44 AM on 09/11/2010

I guess everyone who is saying Floyd hit her is also saying Ben Rothlesberger rapes girls. Sorry but you cant have it both ways. You cant assume one person is guilty then turn around and assume another person is innocent. If he did it I hope he gets the book thrown at him like Charlie sheen did. You know the guy who hit his wife, put a knife to her neck and threatened to off her.

Isnt it so much easier to have one standard?

[Spartan112]

I don't know what happened for sure in this case, but I am pretty sure Big Ben committed some type of sexual assault. You know what both guys have in common? A track record of bad behavior. Unfortunately for Floyd his track record involves a couple of convictions.

So instead of fighting Pacquiao he's fighting with his x girlfriend, what a man! But actually after some of the stupid comments Mayweather has made lately it does not surprise me. Looks like he is becoming another pro athlete who is heading down the tubes maybe he should call Mike Tyson for some advice!

[obelis kreative]

No surprises there, white=innocent, regardless of conviction i.e. Amanda Knox, black=guilty, regardless of acquittal i.e. O.J. Simpson.

Oh, stop your race baiting. People say the same stuff about white athletes, too, like Ben Rothlespellhisname or Tiger Woods.

[Ralph Noyes]

06:51 PM on 09/11/2010

Yeah! STOP your RACE BAITING!

That is the last refuge of a scound,rel.

Don't get married and don't get too attached. Single life has it's advantages.

If the match ever happens, put your bet on Pacquiao. And here's why. Pacquiao has no fear. Of anybody. Mayweather has exceptional skills and he has pride. But pride isn't the same as resolve. Pacquiao is the tougher man. But then, to my knowledge, he doesn't beat women.

[Hard2kill]

10:14 PM on 09/12/2010

Pacquiao love women...as a matter of fact, he don't want to replace his wife, he just want to add more.. LOL

[OpusIsUnderTheBed]

02:09 AM on 09/11/2010

So he beats women. He fights in bars. He fights women in bars. Ol' "Money". Here's the deal. If Floyd was willing to fight two women, at once, in a bar, a couple of years ago?

Well, then it's reasonable for Pacquiao to have to fight Floyd's girlfriend, before Floyd agrees to a match with Manny.
