The TMZ article is so poorly written. Conor went in the bathroom with the woman, forced her to perform oral sex, and she managed to escape by elbowing him. Hard to believe that an untrained person would have escaped if he does not want them to. He took some of Mayweather's best punches and this untrained woman managed to make him let go? How do you elbow someone while sucking dick, why not just bite the junk?

This narrative has so many holes in them, the truth is probably somewhat in the middle. Conor is probably a rapey douche bag but I would not be surprised if this woman is pulling some narrative to get that pay out.

People say this all the time, but it happens routinely in verifiably true rape attempts / accounts. A lot of stuff goes from super aggressive touching and grabbing that is borderline consensual and progresses very quickly into something else that the victim isn't comfortable with, but the aggressor is too caught up in the moment or simply doesn't care. Sadly fight or flight takes over and sometimes people just submit to the aggressor, and sometimes they go the other direction and fight back, and that can catch the aggressor off guard some times.

A lot of victims will embellish the story for a variety of reasons: Counter intuitively, they think a "worse" story will be taken more seriously, and often they want to take back some sense of empowerment by claiming they fought back. I'm not saying this is a particularly believable allegation, there are so many moving parts with the way it was explained there should be a mountain of evidence soon in either direction if it's true.

Also, like, what would you expect Conor to do? Literally beat her to death with his fists?
