Floyd Mayweather accuses ex-fiancée Shantel Jackson of having abortion in Facebook rant

In the post, which has been deleted from both Facebook and Instagram, the boxer claims the reason he split up with Jackson is because she terminated the pregnancy of twins the couple were expecting.

Apparently, Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn't like to lose when it comes to relationships, either.

Seemingly stung by the perception that he was dumped by his former fiancée Shantel Jackson, the undefeated boxer went all Maury and Jerry Springer on her Thursday morning, posting what he claims to be a picture of her sonogram to his official Facebook account, claiming she had an abortion with their twins and he cut ties with her because he's pro-life.
"The real reason me and Shantel Christine Jackson @missjackson broke up was because she got a abortion, and I'm totally against killing babies. She killed our twin babies.#ShantelJackson#FloydMayweather#TheMoneyTeam#TMT," he penned next to the sonogram.
After a torrent of negative responses poured in, the post was taken down, leaving the world to wonder why the sport's top boxer, just days away from what could be the final bout of his career, would make a decision to bring this up now, knowing it would cause a big commotion.
Or maybe that's the point. Mayweather is set to challenge Marcos Maidana on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in a welterweight unification match. Mayweather is a huge favorite, and possibly to drum up interest in a bout few see as competitive, Mayweather has suggested that Saturday's fight could be his last. During the final press conference on Wednesday, Mayweather said he's interested in putting boxing behind him at some point to "settle down and get married. And have a family."
Mayweather also posted a photo to his Instagram account on Thursday morning of someone who appears to be a young Jackson, in a modeling pose with a corresponding photo of Jim Carrey sporting a bizarre hairdo and bikini top and bottom from an old "In Living Color" sketch, ostensibly poking fun of Jackson.
