Armour: Mayweather's corner no place for Welter

Armour: Mayweather's corner no place for Welter, Armour: Mayweather's bend no abode for Welter, Noble as her intentions may be, Jen Welter is amiss to be Floyd Mayweather's bedfellow for his latest farce. I mean, fight.

The NFL's aboriginal changeable abettor drillmaster told USA TODAY Sports that she thinks Mayweather arrive her to Saturday's action adjoin Andre Birto as an "olive branch." That his extensive out to her — a strong, able woman who embodies the abstraction that women can do and be annihilation they set their minds to — is a arresting that the boxer is accessible to accomplish apology for his accomplished history of calm violence.

What he absolutely wants is a front.

Mayweather has taken abundant criticism for his calumniating history, and appropriately so. He's been arrested or issued citations in affiliation with seven advance cases involving 5 altered women. At atomic one of those assaults occurred in foreground of his adolescent children.

He's served 60 canicule in bastille for calm violence. He's aswell getting sued by an ex-girlfriend who has accused him of assault, array and apocryphal imprisonment, and declared that he already acicular a gun at her.

And yet Mayweather, who has pleaded accusable to calm abandon accuse at atomic three times, denies it all.

"Everything has been allegations. Nothing has been proven," Mayweather said in an October 2014 account with CNN's Rachel Nichols. "… No pictures. Just buzz and allegations. And I active a appeal bargain. So, already again, not true."

Lest you anticipate Mayweather has become added aware back then, Nichols and Michelle Beadle, addition articulate critic, were denied accreditation for his action with Manny Pacquiao this spring.

No, Mayweather wants to defuse the abrogating publicity, and there's no bigger way to do that than by accepting Welter in his corner.

"I am actual anti-domestic violence, and the spotlight that is apparent on calm abandon through sports creates a achievability area we can say, 'No this isn't OK and we can change it.' Me accepting this admission does not beggarly I abutment his past, but hopefully it is a way to be an apparatus for change in the future," Welter said in a buzz account Monday morning.

"What I do apperceive is I absolutely can't do annihilation acceptable by abnegation what seems to be an olive branch."

I don't agnosticism that Welter, who has a doctorate in psychology, is acquisitive she can get through to Mayweather just as she did the Arizona Cardinals linebackers she coached.

But what Welter's motives are for accessory the action don't matter. Her attendance — and you can bet it will be brought up time and time afresh — will be taken as tacit approval of Mayweather and aggregate he's about.

To the blow of the world, Welter is a role archetypal to be admired and respected. To Mayweather, she's just addition changeable he can exploit.
