Floyd Mayweather, who faces the heavy-handed Marcos Maidana on pay-per view Saturday night from Las Vegas, tweeted out that his recent breakup stemmed from his fiancee's abortion. The Tweet quickly coaxed a delete.
"The real reason me and Shantel Christine Jackson @missjackson broke up was because she got a abortion," the undefeated welterweight tweeted, "and I'm totally against killing babies. She killed our twin babies."
Reportedly, Jackson, who had received a $10 million engagement ring from the fighter, initially told Mayweather she had miscarried. Since the breakup last year, she has moved on to a relationship with the rapper Nelly.
The publicizing of such private information, and the pro-life pronouncement, quickly elicited online outrage.
"Mayweather posting that announcement (basically called her a baby killer) plus ultrasound photos on FB is abusive behavior," Sports on Earth writer Jessica Luther tweeted. She labeled Money Mayweather and his online followers "anti-choicers." Another writer sees the Tweet as a potential disqualification for buying the Clippers, an idea the sports world's highest-paid athlete floated earlier this week. "Reminder that Floyd Mayweather is interested in owning the Los Angeles Clippers," Michael Katz wrote at SB Nation. "That seems like a bad idea."

I don’t like Mayweather, but props to him if what he said is true.
Not politically correct but correct never the less. God bless him.
Way to go brother! We need more stories like this.
Never back down, never allow the left to define the issue.
Anti-choicers??!!
No, pro-choice is “poor-choice”, wrong choice, horrible choice - it is murdering our children to appease the god of self...
I love it that he posted the pictures, not just the words. Now, I hope he learns that next time, maybe he should marry a woman beforehand and she’ll be a lot more likely to have his baby.
Next time, try marriage first. With a woman who values her soul and life in general. You know. A woman who loves God and wants to keep His commandments.
Well, it looks like he and the other champ — Manny Pacquaio share the same views on this issue.
Now let’s get on with the long awaited fight match and be done with it...
Basically? That's what she is. Her boyfriend is a millionaire athlete and there was no financial problem involved with raising the twins. This is violence and gross disrespect against the father as well if, indeed, he was the father.
What you said.
IMO a man who engages in activity that may result in the production of a child without assurance that any such child will be dealt with in a proper way is very nearly as guilty as the woman making the decision to abort.
Don’t run around sowing wild oats, and then act put upon when somebody mows them.
I'm losing track of the positions that are being kicked around as disqualification for a prominent position in the business world.
In the last month or so: pro-traditional marriage, not wanting your mistress to bring black guys to your games, and now pro-life.
There seems to be a movement afoot to marginalize anyone with traditional beliefs.
You hit the nail on the head. In order to be allowed to be anywhere in public life anywhere, you must have liberal positions. You must never have said anything which is opposed to the liberal views of the issues. That’s where we are headed.
LOL!!!! I wonder how many times we'll be hearing this over the next few months. How many other things will Liberals bring up as disqualifications for owning the Clippers?
Oh My! TWO “Anti-choicers” duking it out?
Good for him! And he needs to be married before having sex now..with a godly lady.
bingo
