News: Floyd Mayweather Is Being Sued For $20 Million By His Ex

After defeating manny Pacquaio last week, Floyd Mayweather is fighting a different battle this week. He is being sued by the mother of his three children after she says he slandered her name and is spreading lies about her.

Floyd appeared on Katie Couric’s show in 2011 and said that the mother of his children was high during their publicized domestic dispute. She has now filed a $20 million lawsuit for punitive damages. The Daily News reports:

The report says that Harris’ lawyer, Dan Friedlander, wrote in the lawsuit that the boxing star’s lies to Couric “were knowingly fabricated in order to hype Mayweather’s upcoming fight with Pacquiao, to avoid bad press by deflecting responsibility for beating the mother of his children.”
