Mayweather had previously said , “I think there’s a lot worse things that go on in other people’s households, also,” he said. “It’s just not caught on video. I know he’s probably going through a lot right now because football is his passion, football is his love. It’s no different than with me being in the fight game, if they told me, ‘Floyd, you’ve got the biggest deal in sports history,’ and then a couple months later, they say, ‘You know what, your deal is taken away from you’ — oh, man. It’s not really just the money, it’s just the love of the sport, the passion.”
Floyd today, told sources: “I was just getting word from people that there was a video out there. I didn’t know because I’m training for a fight, if I offended anyone, I apologize.”
According to TMZ, Floyd Mayweather had claimed to have seen the video before he made his first remarks, defending Ray Rice.
