Floyd Mayweather Jr. denies beating Josie Harris, says she is lying

Floyd Mayweather is an accused serial woman beater, but he denies assaulting ex-girlfriend Josie Harris during a 2010 incident for which he later went to jail.

Mayweather was interviewed by Yahoo Global News anchor Katie Couric inside his Las Vegas gym ahead of his May fight with Manny Pacquiao, and he intimated that the public holds something against him because of his success.

“I’m black. I’m rich. And I’m outspoken. Those are three strikes right there,” he tells Couric. “So, you know, when someone says, ‘I got pushed or hit, I’m a fighter. So I may not really hit a person.
