Floyd Mayweather Calls Ray Rice NFL Punishment Harsh: Boxer Has Been Arrested Multiple Times For Domestic Violence

Sep 10, 2014 08:58 AM EDT

Many in the sports world have been asked about Ray Rice and the NFL reaction to the video of knocking his wife out cold in an elevator in a casino and boxer Floyd Mayweather gave his two cents, saying the NFL was too hard on Rice and this comes from a man who has been arrested multiple times for domestic violence.

Mayweather has a massive fight this weekend and he has been arrested multiple times in the past for domestic violence. Patriots owner Robert Kraft said the NFL likely will not take Rice back, but pictures of him with Mayweather from last season are on the internet, and he seems fine to take pictures with another domestic abuser.

Basically, as Deadspin writes, Mayweather has been hit with up to "15 combined counts of domestic violence, battery, harassment, stalking, and violating a protective order, said that he himself has been falsely accused before."

"I think there's a lot worse things that go on in other people's households, also," Mayweather said. "It's just not caught on video, if that's safe to say."

"Like I've said in the past, no bumps, no bruises, no nothing," Mayweather said. "With O.J. and Nicole, you seen pictures. With Chris Brown and Rihanna, you seen pictures. With (Chad) Ochocinco and Evelyn, you seen pictures. You guys have yet to see any pictures of a battered woman, a woman who says she was kicked and beaten (by Mayweather). So I just live my life and try to stay positive, and try to become a better person each and every day."
