Early one winter morning, Josie Harris downed shots of alcohol and half of an Ecstasy tablet at a nightclub, then stepped into Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s luxurious black Bentley.
The stunning model repeatedly asked the boxing world champion -- the father of her three children -- why he had shunned her for another woman. Mayweather ignored the questions, flashed his trademark smile and turned up the radio.
"I was basically trying to fight him. I was pulling on him and punching on him, and telling him that he was wrong and shouldn't have left me like that with those three babies," Harris testified Thursday in Clark County District Court at Mayweather's domestic violence trial.
"I just kicked the windshield like it was the other girl's face. That's when he pulled me by my hands out of the car."
Harris accepted all the blame for the Dec. 27, 2003, conflict, which she testified unfolded after she partied with friends and consumed Ecstasy, an illicit stimulant.
She portrayed herself as a scorned and inebriated woman who called police to the nightclub so she would have the upperhand if Mayweather pursued criminal charges against her for her outburst. The 25-year-old woman often giggled while testifying she lied when she told authorities that Mayweather had beaten her. Harris' retraction dealt a serious blow to prosecutors and cost them their star witness.
Deputy District Attorney Alexandra Chrysanthis asked Harris whether Mayweather "laid a hand on her" during the incident.
"No, not at all," responded Harris, who later referred to Mayweather as "a teddy bear."
"I know that no matter what I did that he would never put his hands on me."
Mayweather, 28, faces a felony battery charge in connection with the 2003 incident. In 2002, the Las Vegas resident pleaded guilty to two counts of domestic violence. In June, he was convicted in the unprovoked beating of two women in the Ra nightclub and received a suspended one-year jail sentence and an order to undergo counseling.
Mayweather, dressed in a pink shirt and pinstriped suit, stared straight ahead throughout most of the testimony and occasionally massaged his temple and neck. Harris cast the fighter as a loving father who met her on the night of the incident to pay child support.
Richard Wright, Mayweather's attorney, told jurors he will produce a witness who saw the incident and testify that Mayweather never struck Harris, pulled her hair or kicked her, as alleged. Wright said Mayweather did pull Harris from the car because she was irate, attacked him and refused to leave.
Chrysanthis introduced photos showing a bruise on Harris' eye and a mark on her forehead. Harris testified that she injured her forehead days before the incident and might have hurt her eye when Mayweather dragged her from the car.
The trial is scheduled to resume today.Comment

prior to the last IRS case i'd agree. floyd, like a lot of young black athletes, doesn't understand real money. When u get $10 mil you don't get all of it. Taxes, exspenses, etc. When you buy a $500k maybach you actually spend $600k. Thats nothing new. But, he keeps getting credit for the apts and houses so he must have money and a high credit score lol. Why you want aanothe man to fail is crazy. I hate ODH and SRL but I don't wish them ill.
Pac sued him for 75K. Get a grip. I surely dont emulate a man younger than me.
So yes, i am entertained. If that makes me a bad guy. I can live with that. Floyd is good tv. He is a satire. A story full of blunders and mishaps. Very entertaining indeed.
I won't be surprised if he does a valero. Coz he really is in a downward spiral. He can't accpet it. He is called a chicken by everyone in the boxing community. That will defintely eat you up.. He is losing it for sure.Last edited by Spoon23; 09-09-2010, 01:56 PM.Comment

People need to choose their heroes wisely. Life's too short to admire a selfish spoiled brat that beats women. Sure...be a fan of his skills...don't be a fan of the man!Comment
