Floyd Mayweather’s Baby Mama Sues Him For $20M
FLOYD MAYWEATHER And JOSIE HARRIS

could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his children’s mother gets her way.
Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an inter- view with Katie Couric when he claimed she was in a drug- fueled rage and he had to "re- strain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic vio- lence incident.
Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail.
Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating.
Harris says she is now la- beled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale.
Her lawyer, Dan Fried- lander, writes in the lawsuit - - Floyd's lies to Couric "were knowingly fabricated in order to hype Mayweather's up- coming fight with Pacquiao, to avoid bad press by deflect- ing responsibility for beating the mother of his children."
Harris wants in excess of $20 million.
Pacers Paul George Donates $10K To Help Family
Jameis Winston Pick
Late in the regular season, Paul George returned from his serious leg injury to try and help the Pacers make the play- offs. While the Pacers fell just short of the postseason, George is still helping, only this time he is helping to make a difference in the lives of an In- dianapolis family.
According to The Indy Channel, George recently do- nated $10,000 to help the Es- terline family buy a wheelchair-accessible van for their young daughter Daisy. George didn't donate this siz- able amount of money in a
Tampa Bay Buccaneers re- ceiver Mike Evans said Tues- day he was firmly in Jameis Winston’s corner.
“Out of him and Marcus Mariota, I liked Winston more,’’ Evans said. “He doesn’t run as much. With that being said, I think he’ll come in and do well for us.’’
Evans quickly was re- minded that he played with a mobile quarterback (Johnny Manziel) in college and he re- sponded with a chuckle.

“Yeah, I did my time with a mobile quarterback and that was fun," Evans said.
Evans then got a little more serious when talking about how he thinks Winston can help the Bucs.

Manny Pacquiao Sued For Not Reporting He Was Hurt
Michael Jordan Broke Up A Fight After Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao
Boxer Manny Pacquiao is being sued for his failure to disclose a shoulder injury dur- ing his "Fight of the Century" Saturday against Floyd May- weather, Jr.
Reuters reports: "The law- suit was filed by Stephane Vanel and Kami Rahbaran in federal court in Nevada. It seeks compensation under laws meant to protect con- sumers and asks for status as a class action on behalf of ticket buyers, pay-per-view television viewers and people who gam- bled on the fight."
CNBC says that the plaintiff are seeking $5 million.
Mayweather maintained his unbeaten record with the unanimous-decision victory over Pacquaio in their unified welterweight bout in Las Vegas. The fight was the high- est-grossing boxing match in history.
But an hour after the fight, Pacquiao's promoter said the boxer had hurt his shoulder during training.
NPR's Tom Goldman re- ported after the fight:
"Pacquiao reportedly

asked for a painkilling shot be- fore the fight but was denied by the Nevada Athletic Commis- sion because Pacquiao had turned in a form saying he was- n't hurt. Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said last night Pacquiao should have gotten the shot because in Arum's words, papers were filed five days ago asking for medication for the shoulder injury, and that the commission was well aware that Pacquiao was hurt. At the very end of the press conference, commission chairman Francisco Aguilar announced what Arum said wasn't true."
Pacquiao will reportedly undergo surgery this week for a rotator cuff tear.
There were a number of heavy hitters in attendance at the MGM Grand this past Sat- urday night as all the stars were out in order to see Floyd May- weather take on Manny Pacquiao in what was billed as the fight of the century.
While the action in the ring didn't seem to live up to the ex- pectations of many, former Chicago Bulls great and current Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan found him- self playing the role of peace-

Mike Wallace: 'Without A Doubt, I'm The Fastest Player In The NFL'
Mike Wallace has pro- claimed himself the NFL's fastest player, and he'd be will- ing to race any challengers to prove it.
"Without a doubt, I'm the fastest player in the NFL," the Minnesota Vikings receiver told the Pioneer Press on Tuesday. "If somebody feels foggy about that, we can [race]. I'm never going to back down from competition.''
The 28-year-old Wallace told the newspaper that his personal best in the 40-yard dash is 4.21 seconds, which would be faster than the best time ever posted at the NFL scouting combine, by running back Chris Johnson (4.24 in
