Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s history with domestic violence has been in the spotlight this week because of increased awareness of the issue resulting from the NFL’s botched handling of the Ray Rice situation.
As Mayweather prepares to make over $30 million for his fight with Marcos Maidana, allow LBS to bring you up to speed regarding Mayweather’s personal life and domestic violence history against his girlfriends and baby mamas.
For starters, Mayweather has never been married. He was engaged to ex-fiancee Shantel Jackson, who is now suing him for allegedly mistreating and assaulting her multiple times while they were together. The two met in 2006 and Floyd convinced her to move out to Las Vegas to be with him. They eventually got engaged, were on-and-off in 2013, and Jackson finally ended their relationship earlier this year.
Miss Jackson broke up with Mayweather because she was tired of all the side girls he had. Keep in mind that Floyd’s philosophy on women is that a man should be allowed to have as many women as they can afford.

Floyd’s philosophy on relationships is extremely hypocritical and demeaning; he believes men should have multiple women, but he gets jealous and even violent if he learns that his women are talking to other men. And that’s without him pledging the commitment of marriage to them!
So here’s the rundown on Mayweather’s personal life.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not married but he has multiple women. The more important women in his life are part of his large entourage, which he calls “The Money Team.” These women can be considered girlfriends and have roles in his life and company.
Mayweather provides these women with salaries, luxurious gifts, and even allows them to live in one of his multiple homes. But all of these things come with strings attached: there are strong indications that sex is part of the relationship. And as part of “The Money Team,” you are expected to help promote Mayweather, his fights, interests and ventures. In exchange, Mayweather also encourages them with business ventures, such as makeup lines and gift baskets companies.
Currently, the number one girl in Mayweather’s rotation seems to be Doralie Medina aka Bad Medina. She has been a part of Mayweather’s team for a while but only was elevated to top status recently. She’s made public “red carpet” type appearances as Floyd’s date and was given a Rolls Royce in July for her birthday. Of course, if she falls out of favor with Floyd, those gifts will likely be given back to the boxer.
Another one of Mayweather’s girlfriends who has earned “social media status” is a woman named Liza Hernandez. Liza seems to be an old pro at securing her spot with professional athletes. She’s been linked to multiple players and entertainers over the years, including several former Lakers. She was also extremely close with former Lakers owner Jerry Buss.
Mayweather has four children by two different women. Head over to Page 2 to read more about his children and history of domestic violence against his baby mamas.
