Mayweather Sr’s representative told TMZ that his client is ‘innocent’ and never laid a hand on the alleged victim.
The rep told the site that the alleged victim is ‘trying to extort money and she’s angry because she’s not getting the money from Floyd. It’s not going the way she wants it to go’.

The case stemmed from a hair-pulling, punching and arm-twisting argument with his ex-girlfriend Josie Harris while two of their children watched in September 2010.
Mayweather Jr has been arrested several times since 2002 in battery and violence cases in Las Vegas and in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
He was convicted in 2002 of misdemeanor battery stemming from a fight with two women at a Las Vegas nightclub. He received a suspended one-year jail sentence and was ordered to undergo impulse-control counseling.
He was fined in Grand Rapids in February 2005 and ordered to perform community service after pleading no contest to misdemeanor assault and battery for a bar fight.
Mayweather Jr was acquitted by a Nevada jury in July 2005 after being accused of hitting and kicking Harris during an argument outside a Las Vegas nightclub.
