Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather banned from entering Australia
Boxing legend Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Jnr is used to winning, in fact, he's never been beaten inside the ring. However, his biggest fight is happening outside of the hempen square, with calls for him to be banned from entering Australia next week because of his abusive past.
An on-line petition has been launched via change.org to stop him from visiting the country because it states 'he abused his ex-partner in front of his children and went to jail after abusing five different women'.
Mayweather, 37, was jailed in 2012 for an attack (two years earlier) on his ex-girlfriend and needs the Immigration Minister Peter Dutton to rubber stamp his visa application before heading down under next week, where he's expected to be the star turn at two dinners in Melbourne and Sydney.
His local promoter, Max Markson, remains confident the boxing millionaire will be allowed to fly in with his entourage of 30 people.
