All this right before his big fight. SMH. Drama, drama, drama! This story is so crazy. Not just about the arrest, but the dynamics of their relationship. I can’t see this sitting well with Floyd’s fiancee either. Check out what Josie Harris had to say about the incident that lead to Mayweather’s arrest. She shares the police report and even said that they have slept together since Floyd was released from jail. Say whaaaaat?!
Report after the jump…

Via Martin Rogers at Yahoo Sports:
Despite spending two months in prison for punching former long-term partner Josie Harris, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has wasted no opportunity to deny and downplay the events of Sept. 9, 2010. In fact, boxing’s biggest draw tells a very different version of what happened on the night that ultimately led to his incarceration last summer.
Harris has refused to detail the attack until now, choosing instead to relocate with the three children she shares with Mayweather to Valencia, Calif.
“Did he beat me to a pulp?” said Josie Harris, sitting in her living room in a development in Valencia. “No, but I had bruises on my body and contusions and [a] concussion because the hits were to the back of my head. I believe it was planned to do that … because the bruises don’t show …”
Her voice trails off as she produces a doctor’s report describing the injuries following her visit to Southern Hills Hospital in the immediate aftermath of the attack.
Throughout the documentary, Mayweather called the charges “over-exaggerated” and “trumped up,” while his team of handlers insisted there was no violence and no physical harm inflicted.
“This judicial system is really messed up,” said Mayweather’s current partner, Shantel “Miss” Jackson, in the documentary. “How can someone who really didn’t do anything have to suffer a consequence for something of this magnitude? It really does anger me, because how can a lie get so far?”
The doctor’s report tells a different story, of bruising and contusions.
So does Harris’ next document, a handwritten statement then 11-year-old Koraun Mayweather gave to police. It was Koraun who, according to his written statement to police, ran for help when he “saw my Dad hit[t]ing” and “kicking my Mom.”
Yahoo! Sports reviewed copies of the doctor’s report and Koraun’s written statements to police. Harris declined to make the copies public. According to her representative, she did not want to distract Mayweather so close to a fight.
