COLDCOCKED Floyd Mayweather
"Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather was looking pretty dumb at the BET Awards last night when he got served, in full view of other guests, with a lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris.
Mayweather was sitting next to Motown legend Berry Gordy at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium when an employee of private investigator John Nazarian handed him a copy of the suit, filed yesterday in L.A. Superior Court, over an alleged failure to pay child support for his three children with Harris. Nazarian confirms it was "one of my crew," adding, "I'm too old to go in there myself and get smacked. I want to make sure no one messes up my flawless skin."
It's not the first time Harris has given Mayweather legal trouble. Two years ago, he was tried and acquitted of charges of beating and kicking her outside a Las Vegas nightclub.
A rep for Mayweather did not immediately respond to a call for comment.
