FACEBOOK: Devion Cromwell, 19, is considered Floyd Mayweather’s adopted son after the boxer dated his mother for two years. Cromwell’s younger sister is also Mayweather’s biological daughter.

The below article was written by SashaGoldstein but I just needed to put my 2 sense in because I do not agree with what has happened at all.  

I just want to say that if a man that I am in a relationship with adopts my child, giving me and him a roof over our heads and even after the break up, continued to provide for us lovingly and financially, I dare my child to disrespect that man without dealing with the consequences. Especially if he is 19 years old. At that age he should be away in college somewhere and traveling the world, not in my house (I’m just saying).

I know after the Eric Garner situation, the world views choke holds as this lethal weapon and for a man of Floyd’s strength and profession, this could have ended very tragic but Floyd is not a white cop dealing with a black man. He is actually a father raising a black man and dealing with his disrespectful and ungrateful son. Instead of beating his ass, which under law he cannot do, he decided to choke him up real quick to show him who is still in charge. Listen, these boys are disrespectful now and days, they need that tough love from their father once in a while to keep them on track.  I mean come on…. if Floyd comes to visit (the house he owns) and there are a group of  teenagers there, even if you feel he is being an asshole because it’s Halloween, you have to respect this man’s decision, it’s his home, you ni**a’s just live there!

At the end of the day the words “You are not my father,” should never have been uttered by this boy. Where is his real father then? ohh I”m sorry, no where in the picture! He should be thanking him everyday for adopting him and keeping a roof over his head. HELLO! his mother obviously has no control of this situation to the point where her family wants her son to press charges on the only man who took them in, adopted her son and continues to support them financially! SMDH, talk about ungrateful people who don’t know how to mind their own business. 

No matter how arrogant Floyd Mayweather may be, it does not justify these people leaking this story now of something that happened last year right around the time of what some may consider to be the biggest fight of his career. To even suggest involving the police, knowing that his career can be destroyed by such accusations and/or charges is just mind boggling. Family is family and these type of situations should remain out of the public eye and ear when you are dealing with persons of such caliber. Now if there is a pattern of physical abuse, then it is Melissa’s job to remove herself, her son and her daughter from that environment. On the contrary, shut the fuck up, put your son in check and continue to support the man who has given you personal and financial support through out all this time.  

Read the story below and let me know how you all feel. Peace and Love!

The Daily News reports:

Floyd Mayweather may have used his “adopted” son as a punching bag ahead of his championship bout with Manny Pacquiao, according to a report.

The 38-year-old pugilist allegedly strangled the teen boy he raised as his own at his massive Las Vegas mansion on Halloween night last year, according to a police report obtained by The Sun.

Devion Cromwell, 19, reported the incident after “Money” Mayweather held him in a “rear naked choke” during the Oct. 31, 2014, altercation. The teen is apparently reluctant to press battery charges against the flashy champ, who faces Pacquiao May 2 in a long-anticipated bout, because the fighter provides cash for Cromwell and his mom, Mayweather’s ex-girlfriend Melissa Brim.

“We are desperate for Devion to do what’s right and bring Floyd to justice,” one relative told The Sun. “He controls our whole family through fear and money. It’s only a matter of time before it happens again — or, God forbid, anything worse.

Melissa Brim and Floyd Mayweather

Mayweather had a fling with Brim in the late 1990’s before breaking it off in 2000. The undefeated welterweight champ was guilty of two counts of domestic battery against Brim in 2002 — one of several out of the ring skirmishes involving Mayweather.

Despite their rocky past, Cromwell, his mom and 14-year-old sister Iyanna, Mayweather’s daughter, live in a home owned by the boxer.

When the fighter showed up there unannounced last Halloween and ordered Cromwell’s friends out of the house, the teen yelled out, “You’re not my father!”according to The Sun.

ERIK VERDUZCO/AP:  Floyd Mayweather has faced several allegations of domestic violence over the years and even spent two months in jail in 2012 for hitting an ex-lover.

That’s when the trained fighter flew into a rage and put on the wrestling hold, which involves “one arm encircled around the neck causing carotid and venous decompression and the other arm on the back of the head applying downward pressure,” according to the report.

Cromwell spoke to cops about the incident, as did the two witnesses, who backed up his account. But Cromwell has only until Oct. 31 of this year to make an official complaint and press charges, a Las Vegas police spokesman told The Sun.

“The victim knows who to contact to provide information,” the spokesman told the paper.

Cromwell may be reluctant to speak up because the boxer, worth some $300 million and expected to make millions more for his fight with Pacquiao, would likely cut off the kid.

Mayweather, who documents his flashy lifestyle on social media, has a long history of altercations with women, dating back to the 2001 attack on Brim, which earned him a suspended sentence. By late 2011, he earned a 90-day jail stint for beating down ex Josie Harris, the mom of three of his children.

AL BELLO/GETTY IMAGES: Mayweather has his eyes on preparation for his May 2 bout with Manny Pacquiao. But if Devion Cromwell presses charges for the Oct. 31, 2014, incident, Mayweather could face a hefty distraction — or worse.

He served two months in 2012 before his release, where Cromwell was among the crowd greeting the champ on his way out of lock up.

Cromwell would drop in to watch Mayweather train at the gym and sit ringside at his bouts — but the two have barely spoken since the Halloween incident, even though Mayweather has tried to woo him with gifts, The Sun reports.

Despite his track record of domestic violence, his former assistant said she never saw him hit anyone outside of the ring in her 12 years by his side.

“I have never seen Floyd physically assault anyone,” Tasha Robinson-White, 42, told The Sun. “I have seen him get angry and upset like most men do — but never violent.”
