After two huge bouts in 2007, Floyd "Money" Mayweather is about to make his return to the ring. Wednesday, it was all about what's happening outside the ring.
Mayweather was answering some tough questions from Action News about a shooting that happened outside a skating rink. No one was hit, but Mayweather was around at some point on the night in question. A police report names an associate of Mayweather productions, a man named O-C, as the man who fired.
He has been called the best, does that make him a target? No doubt.
"Negativity, it sells," Mayweather said. "I had a little incident. I like to call it a small incident. It was breaking news, but every week what I do, like tomorrow I'm going out and feed the homeless."
On August 24th police served a search warrant at Mayweather's home. They were looking for evidence in ******* at Crystal Palace skating rink the night before.
The next day a witness told Action News Mayweather is connected.
"He got right in my face, he says, 'you know what I can do to you? You know who I am?'" said Quincey Williams.
Officers serving the search warrant did not walk away from Mayweather's home empty handed.
Two handguns and bullet proof vests were confiscated at his house. Action News wondered if he was worried about the outcome of th investigation.
"Are we hear to talk positive or are we here to talk negative," Mayweather told Action News. "Bullet proof vests is just like the armored truck, it's for entertainment. It's for boxing entertainment - it's for 24/7, it's for the WWE, things of that nature. And the guns are registered. Which they didn't tell you. They say they seized my car, which they didn't and the guns belong to my security guards."
As for why Mayweather is a target for the finger pointing, he points-out, and it's true, that he was the only one visiting the rink in a Rolls that night.
Police say Mayweather is cooperating with their investigation. They also say, as of Wednesday, they have nothing new to report on their progress.
But Mayweather says he's moving-on and focusing on the fight.
