Introduction :

Relationship with Floyd and Children :
- Melissia is well-known for being the mother to Iyanna Mayweather (born in 2000), the daughter of multi-millionaire world champion boxing star Floyd Mayweather.
- Floyd, known for his flamboyant & brash personality, was named as the highest-paid athlete in the world by magazines like Sports Illustrated and Forbes.
- Melissia and Floyd met way back in the 1990s at a casino in Las Vegas when she was only 16 years old. At that time, Melissa was working at the Rio Hotel and Casino. She also had a son, Devion Cromwell, from a previous relationship.
- The two got into a relationship, and Floyd helped her out with her kid. A while before their daughter was born the two stopped talking due to an issue with Floyd’s previous girlfriend, Josie Harris.
- Floyd and Melissia never talked for five years, but all through this time, Floyd was always there for his daughter Iyanna Mayweather. During this time, Melissa got into a relationship with someone else while Floyd was with Josie Harris.
- After Melissa’s relationship ended, Floyd contacted her again & they agreed to co-parent their kid, which they are still trying to date. Melissia even notes that they have become close friends.
- Since 2008, Brim started appearing on HBO’s 24/7 and people started recognizing her from television.
- Brim once admitted that it is still quite difficult for her and Iyanna to watch Floyd fight since, at any moment, any hit might end up being his last one.
Fair Share of Controversies :
- Brim has had to deal with a lot of drama from Floyd Mayweather, during their relationship. After the two broke up in 2000, Floyd was even found guilty of two accounts of domestic violence on Brim.
- The first incident happened at their home during an argument they were having over Iyanna’s child support. It was reported that Floyd knocked Brim with a car door & then dealt three blows to her face.
- The second time Brim was in a mall with her daughter when Floyd asked a friend to hold her daughter while he punched her in the neck.
- In October 2014, Devion Cromwell, Melissa’s son from her prior relationship also filed a report with the police saying that Floyd had once put him in a chokehold.
- The incident happened during Halloween celebrations in Floyd’s Las Vegas mansion. Cromwell was having a party when Floyd arrived and ordered everyone out. It was then that Devion got furious and told him that he is not his father and the alleged chokehold incident followed.
- It seems like Brim was not only getting attacks from Floyd but also from his other woman Josie Harris. In August 2014, Josie Harris took to Instagram to attack Melissia trying to embarrass her about not being with her son’s father and apparently getting some of Shantel’s, Floyd’s ex, belongings.
