Floyd Mayweather was already in the news after Yahoo Sports obtained a police report that detailed the night he was charged with domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend and on Wednesday the incident flared up again in the pre-fight presser for the Mayweather-Guerrero fight on Saturday.
According to Yahoo Sports, Ruben Guerrero, the father and trainer of Robert Guerrero, stepped up to say some words after promoter Oscar De La Hoya invited him to the microphone and he then shot some excitement into the upcoming match. Guerrero got up and started talking about his son and then jumped on Mayweather, saying that his son would "beat up that woman beater-the one that beat up his wife."
The quote, which was referring to the incident where Mayweather hit his ex-girlfriend and was later in jail for two months, sparked Mayweather's father Floyd Mayweather Sr. to start going at Guerrero from the crowd, telling Guerrero to "sit down and shut up." Guerrero added that Mayweather "beat up his wife in front of his kids. He must have learned that from his dad. We're going to beat that woman-beater."
More news came out about Mayweather from the main police report from Yahoo, as it was revealed that text messages from NBA player CJ Watson were what set off Mayweather on his girlfriend and prompted him hitting her in the head with a punch. Ruben Guerrero continued to hammer Mayweather at the presser, saying he is a hypocrite for crying in jail after doing what he did and also that he was "talking s--- about my son."
The presser gave some extra excitement and anticipation to the fight on Saturday at the MGM Grand and fight promoter De La Hoya tried to calm things down. Things kept going and Mayweather's father rushed the stage and tried to go after Guerrero before he was taken down by former champ Bernard Hopkins.
"Hit me brother, hit me," shouted Guerrero. "Let's do it right now. You're scared, brother, you're shaking."
