Police in Las Vegas say they're searching boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s Rolls-Royce at his home after witnesses reported it was involved in a shooting outside an ice skating rink.

Lt. Patrick Charoen said Monday that police obtained a warrant to search the vehicle at one of Mayweather's Las Vegas-area homes after the shooting late Sunday night outside the Crystal Palace Skating Center.

Charoen (shar OHN') says no one was hurt in the shooting, but a vehicle was hit with several bullets between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Mayweather isn't named as a suspect. Charoen says witnesses only identified his vehicle, which drove away.

The 32-year-old Mayweather is scheduled to fight a welterweight bout Sept. 19 against Juan Manuel Marquez.

Mayweather Threat Alleged By Victim Prior to Shooting

By Mark Vester

While he isn’t a suspect right now, things may change in the future with the way the investigation is playing out. Quincey Williams, 24, the target of a Monday night shooting outside of the Las Vegas Boulder Highway roller rink, is alleged that Floyd Mayweather Jr. threatened his life less than an hour before shots were fired in the parking lot.

According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Williams encountered Mayweather at the Crystal Palace Skating Center on Sunday night. Mayweather immediately confronted him over a text message that was sent two months ago. In the text message, Williams told Mayweather that he hoped he would lose.

Williams claims Mayweather told during the confrontation - "He's got enough money to get me hit." Williams said Mayweather was at the rink with two bodyguards. When Williams left with a friend about 30 to 45 minutes after the confrontation, several shots were fired at their car. The shots came from the direction of Mayweather and his bodyguards, who were also in the parking lot. Williams did not see the shooter and nobody was injured.

Las Vegas police spokesman Bill Cassell confirmed to the paper that Mayweather has been cooperative in their investigation and currently he is not a suspect in the shooting. Police are looking for a "known associate" of Mayweather Promotions, who goes under the nickname of "O.C."

Williams blasted police for not arresting Mayweather.

"I don't understand why they went to his house and didn't arrest him," Williams said. "Floyd knows who he is. He works for Floyd."

LOL @ the reason for shooting him.

Text message: ' I hope you lose Floyd'


Damn, hopefully this doesn't materialize into anything bad for Floyd. Because then he wouldn't have to answer for why his comeback fight flopped! LOL

Naw, but I do wanna see the fight, so hopefully he stays out of trouble. Why mega millionares in the spotlight involve themselves in stupid shit like this? I will never know.

If I was 'Philthy Rich' and had a magnifying glass on me at all times, I'd be a fucking saint!

Police Seize Guns From Floyd Mayweather's Home, Cars


By Mark Vester

In a follow-up to a story reported earlier in the week, Floyd Mayweather Jr's name has been swirling in the middle of an ongoing investigation regarding a Monday night shooting outside of the Las Vegas Boulder Highway roller rink. Quincey Williams, 24, was the target and made allegations that Mayweather threatened his life less than an hour before shots were fired in the parking lot. Nobody was hurt.

Police issued a warrant and searched Mayweather's cars and home. Search warant documents were released on Thursday, revealing that two handguns, ammunition and two bulletproof vests were recovered Mayweather's home and two cars. One of the guns was loaded.


According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Williams encountered Mayweather at the Crystal Palace Skating Center on Sunday night. Mayweather immediately confronted him over a text message that was sent two months ago. In the text message, Williams told Mayweather that he hoped he would lose.

Williams claims Mayweather told during the confrontation - "He's got enough money to get me hit." Williams said Mayweather was at the rink with two bodyguards. When Williams left with a friend about 30 to 45 minutes after the confrontation, several shots were fired at their car. The shots came from the direction of Mayweather and his bodyguards, who were also in the parking lot. Williams did not see the shooter and nobody was injured.
