Unbeaten boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is being sought for questioning in Las Vegas after a domestic violence report was given by his former girlfriend early Thursday morning.

The woman, Josie Harris, who Las Vegas Metropolitan Police say has children with Mayweather, summoned multiple police cars at 5:03 a.m. to a southwest Las Vegas home and reported the boxer attacked her. Domestic violence investigators were at the scene, police spokesman Bill Cassell told The Times. The spokesman said Harris was treated at a hospital for "minor injuries" and released.

"At this point, Mr. Mayweather is a suspect in a domestic battery violence case, and we would very much like to speak with him," Cassell said.

Mayweather's spokeswoman had no information about the alleged incident, and attempts to reach his adviser were not immediately successful.

Cassell said details such as what prompted the alleged incident and Harris' specific injuries were "part of the investigation." Asked if Mayweather would be arrested, Cassell said only that, for now, the boxer is a "person of interest."

Mayweather, who last fought May 1 and won a lopsided decision over Shane Mosley in Las Vegas, apologized this week after unleashing a racially charged, expletive-filled video attack on his possible future opponent, Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather's uncle and trainer, Roger Mayweather, faces a coming criminal trial for allegedly beating a female boxer.

He's cocky enough for a person to dislike him and after showing a little of his racist self and hits his girl, I have no idea how someone can like this dude anymore...

I won't believe the hits his girl part until trial. This is the same girl who in 05 claimed he hit her and then told cops she lied because she was mad he left her for another woman.

When it comes to domestic violence I like to wait until the case pans out. People are so quick to jump on the womans side as soon as she cries shes been hit. Not knowing if its true or not. I know I've been there. When I told my ex I wanted a divorce she called the cops and told them I beat her. I was in jail for a week before she felt guilty and told them she lied and dropped the charges.

I hate the way domestic violence cases are handled as soon as a woman cries she been hit the man is going straight to jail no matter what. So in these cases I always believe innocent until proven guilty. He may have hit her and if thats the case I hope he goes straight to jail, and I've been a Floyd fan for a long time but theres never an excuse to hit a woman.

Great family. His uncle supposedly beat a female. He may have hit his girlfriend. His so called apology for the rant against Pacquiao was not a real apology. It was beyond weak.

I hope that this allegation against him is untrue. I already don't care for him, but if he did attack her then he's going to further damage his reputation. If he even cares about that.

I read somewhere that the dispute started over a iPhone or something like that. I'll have to look for the link.

Edit: Found the link, has a couple more details about the case.
