Scott Christ is the managing editor of Bad Left Hook and has been covering boxing for SB Nation since 2006.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is wanted for questioning by Las Vegas police in a domestic battery case. KLAS-TV Channel 8 has this:

Police say they were called to a home at the 3800 block of Tropical Vine Street in southwest Las Vegas to investigate a family disturbance.

Police met with a female at the address and based on the information they learned, officers determined Mayweather was a suspect for domestic battery.

Police are hoping Mayweather will contact them.

The accuser is Josie Harris, according to TMZ, who filed similar charges against Mayweather in 2003, before the case was dismissed in 2005 after Harris testified that she lied to police about her accusations.

Mayweather is just days removed from an online video that outraged fans and media alike with racist and homophobic comments directed toward Manny Pacquiao. The flow of articles wondering for that one hasn't even stopped yet, and now this has come up. This has certainly not been the best week Mayweather's ever had as far as public image goes.
