Boxer J’Leon Love posts an offensive tweet addressed to the media regarding their coverage of Floyd Mayweather and his domestic violence issues ahead of the fight against Manny Pacquiao.

Floyd Mayweather is set to square off against Manny Pacquiao on Saturday night in what is being billed as “The Fight Of The Century.” The build up to the fight has led to some light being shed on Mayweather’s past and history of domestic violence, painting him in a negative light.

There are still those out there defending Mayweather, like ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith and boxer J’Leon Love. While Smith’s defense of Mayweather has been rather disturbing and ridiculous, it is nothing compared to the message that boxer J’Leon Love sent out.

An athlete not liking the media, fine, it happens all the time. Saying they’re not “sh*t” isn’t that really offensive. It is the comment he ends it with that is just ridiculous and over the top.

And if that is what he thinks about media talking about a man beating women, then I wonder what he must think about a man beating women…. apparently not a whole lot. Seems like things are a bit out of whack with that line of thought from Love.

In case that tweet gets deleted, you can see it forever in this screen shot below.
