Floyd Mayweather found himself in hot water after making some rather insensitive comments about former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and the domestic abuse scandal he is caught up in.
From VIBE:
"“No one is perfect. You live and you learn,” Money Mayweather told reporters at the MGM Grand Hotel on Tuesday (Sept. 9), prepping for his Saturday bout against Argentina’s Marcos Maidana. “There are worse things going on in people’s households also. It’s just not caught on video, if that’s safe to say.”"
Obviously there was a lot of backlash for the comments, especially given Mayweather’s history of domestic abuse. Mayweather has heard the backlash and is back tracking and apologizing.
“I was just getting word from people that there was a video out there. I didn’t know because I’m training for a fight,” he said, via TMZ. “If I offended anyone, I apologize.”
Mayweather added: “I’m not perfect, I make mistakes and I don’t condone that at all.”
Though Mayweather said point blank “I’ve seen the video,” so he is contradicting himself ala NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. He also initially said that he felt like the NFL should’ve stuck to the two game suspension.
