Devin Cromwell is the son of Mayweather’s former girlfriend, Melissa Brim. The then 19-year-old got into an altercation with Mayweather on October 31, 2014. The altercation began when Mayweather showed up at his mansion in Las Vegas and asked Cromwell’s friends to leave the property. But an irked Cromwell retaliated by telling Mayweather, “You’re not my father!”
His response infuriated Mayweather, who got into a verbal and physical altercation with Cromwell. In fact, things got so out of hand that he held Cromwell in a “rear-naked choke.”
