V-103's Big Tigger got a big get today: Floyd Mayweather.

The boxer created a firestorm earlier this week when he posted on social media a sonogram of twin babies he said his ex-fiancee Shantel Jackson aborted. He said he broke up with her because of that abortion.

He said she was being selfish about messing her body up. He said he paid for all her plastic surgery anyway.

Mayweather also wasn't pleased that his friend Nelly started dating Jackson.

On air at about 3 pm. today on V-103, Mayweather said he at first thought she had a miscarriage but was irate when he found out it was an abortion.

He said ultimately, he was "in love with somebody I didn't know." He said he still takes care of Jackson's mom and was saddened to see her sell some of the goodies he got her (including a Bentley) to live off of.

The fighter spends a lot of time in Atlanta.

"They always come out and show support," said Mayweather at a crowded public Atlanta appearance in 2013, according to USA Today. "I've made more appearances in Atlanta probably than any other city or any other state. So it's like home to me. I call it 'Black Hollywood.'"

He's also one of many celebrities who has said he'd love to buy the L.A. Clippers.
