Mayweather sorry for Rice comments
Print Edition
FLOYD Mayweather apologized on Wednesday for his comments on the Ray Rice fiasco, adding he doesn't agree with comparisons between his domestic problems and those of the suspended NFL player.
Mayweather, who is the highest paid athlete in the world with annual earnings of US$105 million, has had his own domestic abuse problems, including a stint in jail in 2012.
“If I offended anyone I apologize,” Mayweather said. “I apologize to the NFL. I am not perfect. I said things yesterday. I don't condone what happened. You all shouldn’t be asking me about no football. I ain’t even an NFL player. I am a boxer, that's what I do for a living.”
Mayweather pleaded guilty to domestic abuse charges and spent two months in a Las Vegas jail two years ago. The charges were in connection with an attack on his former girlfriend while their children watched.
The 37-year-old Mayweather was also named in a civil suit last week by his ex-fiancee. Shantel Jackson said Mayweather assaulted her and kept her from leaving his luxury Las Vegas home.
NFL star Rice was cut from the Baltimore Ravens and suspended indefinitely when a video surfaced allegedly showing him punching and knocking out in an elevator his former fiancee Janay Palmer.
A law enforcement official said he had sent a video of Rice punching his then-fiancee to an NFL executive five months ago, even as Commissioner Roger Goodell insisted the league didn’t see the violent images until this week.
