LAS VEGAS?Las Vegas police said Thursday they were seeking boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. for questioning about a domestic battery complaint lodged by his former girlfriend.

Officer Barbara Morgan said detectives want to get Mayweather's account of what happened before deciding whether he will face a criminal battery domestic violence charge.

Morgan said Mayweather, 33, wasn't at a Las Vegas house when officers responded to the woman's complaint shortly after 5:00 a.m. on Thursday.

The woman, who wasn't named by police, alleged that Mayweather hit her during an argument, Morgan said.

Police officer Bill Cassell said the woman was taken to hospital for treatment, but her injuries were not described as serious.
