Floyd Mayweather suffers from a little bit of delusion, and a ton of narcissism. How else you can explain the disconnect he has between abusing the women he fathered children with.
That dysfunction is playing out on social media an in the tabloids.
Take for instance how Mayweather recently helped celebrate his son Koraun’s 15th birthday buy purchasing him a Bently golf cart.
Yes it was a great idea, and Mayweather is the ultimate provider.
But Koraun also recently blasted his dad during an exclusive USA Today interview focused on his mother and Floyd’s ex, Josie Harris.
Harris detailed her years of alleged abuse at the hands of Mayweather.
“(It means) I don’t have to take a Xanax before he comes, otherwise I will be sweating bullets,” Harris told USA TODAY Sports in an interview at her home 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles. “For some reason I still get anxiety when I know that he is on his way. I have no idea why, but I get really overwhelmed when I know that I have to be around him.”
Harris says she suffered physical abuse from the boxer on “six occasions,” the worst coming in September 2010, when Mayweather entered Harris’ home as she slept, yanked her to the floor by her hair, then punched and kicked and screamed cuss words at her in front of their children. It was the couple’s oldest son, Koraun, who slipped out of the house to alert a security guard to summon police.
Mayweather was eventually sentenced to 90 days in prison. It was one of seven alleged assaults Mayweather has committed against five different women that resulted in him being arrested or issued a citation. Last month, his former fiancée, Shantel Jackson, filed a civil lawsuit including claims of battery, false imprisonment and allegations that the fighter pointed a gun at her.
During the interview, Koraun was asked to detail the night in question, and his feelings on his father abusing his mother.
Koraun Mayweather sees his father, hangs out with him on weekends and is treated to pretty much whatever he wants, including a Bentley golf cart, a photo of which Mayweather posted on Instagram this week. Koraun has been to big fights but knows one thing for certain, he wants nothing to do with the fierce world of boxing.
“We just hang out. We either watch a movie or something or go bowling,” he said. “I find (boxing) boring. It is just like how people sit in the ring and fight for 12 rounds and it gets boring after a while. Sometimes they run.”
Koraun says recalling the attack on his mother still makes him angry, yet the most difficult part to cope with has been Mayweather’s refusal to admit to his actions.
“He is a coward,” Koraun said, and he hugged his mom.
The dysfunction again is evident by Josie’s entire spin of the story. Domestic abuse is wrong and shouldn’t be tolerated, but Josie Harris on many occassions has defended Floyd Mayweather and evn fought over him on social media.
There have been countless moments of Harris sending out pictures of Mayweather in her bed or between her legs.
Harris has engaged in countless social media wars with Floyd’s women as well.
If young Koraun truly believes his father is a bullying coward, accepting expensive golf carts from him isn’t going to teach Floyd to be more respectful to everyone involved.
