Mayweather 90 Days in jail

[Bcatswin]

Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to reduced domestic violence battery and harassment charges before a Las Vegas judge. He was told to report to jail on Jan. 6.

Judge Melissa Saragosa also ordered Mayweather to complete 100 hours of community service and pay a $2,500 fine.

The plea deal avoids trial on felony allegations that he hit his ex-girlfriend and threatened two of their children during an argument at her home in September 2010.

The conclusion of Mayweather's criminal case helps promoters move forward with plans to stage a super-fight next year between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, told The Times' Lance Pugmire on Tuesday that Mayweather's legal case has created uncertainty because of a possible trial date and how much jail time he could serve if convicted.

Arum said a likely date for the mega-fight between the sport's top two fighters would be in June. Arum said he's pursuing the idea of building a 45,000-seat venue on the Las Vegas Strip near the Wynn and Venetian properties. Arum said the additional time will assist the construction plan, even though Mayweather's advisor previously said he's cleared May 5 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas for a fight date against Pacquiao.

"That's Cinco de Mayo and too early," said Arum of the May 5 date; he added that fight talks won't take place during the holiday break.

What does Lou think, Patty u 2?

I don't think any of us were there the night the offenses were alleged to have transpired, having said that I'm relieved that Floyd evaded a more serious sentence involving more jail-time. I'd like to see him dominate Pac and then retire on top, but he doesn't need the fight to cement his legacy. If he's not statistically the most accurate puncher ever, he's gotta be top 5.

He is a thug. Nobody in Vegas like this guy, sans those on his payroll/nutsack.

He arrives @ public places, and people leave upon his arrival.

He beat his wife in front of his own kids. Their 10 year old son was so scared during the incident he fled to a neighbors house in order to call the police.

The reason Floyd took the plea deal is b/c his own kids were going to testify against him.

Is he the best boxer pound-for-pound? Of course. But he is a thug who is hated in his own hometown, and it is not debatable.

Vegas isnt his hometown

I couldn't have said it better myself.

You know what? The way Floyd is received locally here in Vegas doesn't have to be negative. If he changed his ways, he could be a well thought of person. He should be. The guy is the best boxer in the world, undefeated, and live in a town that is the fighting mecca of America. UFC, and boxing matches are he'll here on the regular. He soul be the guy we are root for but his personality just does not allo for anyone to relate to him. Its ridiculous.

I root for him...

Many others do as well, and everyone who wants to get in his personal life and judge him also will tune in when he fights so it's a win-win for him. I respect that he doesn't fit the mold for the typical boxer or celebrity you may not like him and would never associate with him or his friends which is fine. Don't knock him because he doesn't bend over for the public and be the "role model" because thats not him he's not going to be fake for ANYONE.

[HoulihansTX]

Floyd just plead guilty to felony battery charges. He beat his ex-wife, and you want to say" do not knock him"? C'mon man God damn

[GamblerSpirit]

Screw him.

[onacloud]

I'm not condoning his actions regarding the chargers of battery by any means all I'm saying is he will not change for the media and people hate him for that. These charges do not help his case and I agree he is a moron for that.

[HoulihansTX]

Understood

[MARVEL]

A lot of boxers are jerks...I don't agree with what he did. By the way, it was his ex-girlfriend/baby momma. I am fan of him as a boxer. When will people learn to just look at the guys as athletes and not role models. Half of you would hate your favorite athletes and entertainers if you knew what they did behind closed doors.

[bobby heenan]

again...heres a guy that paid for the funeral of the man he won his first world title from(genaro hernandez)...guy cut a 6 figure check when to the golden gloves tournament in his "hometown" of grand rapids....heres a guy who has tons of money..yet is dedicated and trains like a broke man.....

heres a guy who bought out his top rank contract for 750,000 because bob arum didnt want to do a fight vs oscar because he said it wouldnt sell....at the end of the day....floyd could care less if a collection of random strangers, known as the general public, think hes an asshole.....the guy is worth 8 figures...the guy was quoted as saying if he had been with al haymon, his manager, from the start of his career hed be a billionaire.......so what if a bunch of people in vegas are turned off when he shows up 10 deep to a spot....heres a guy who doesnt drink or smoke......heres a guy whos style gets criticized as "boring" yet is still one of the biggest ppv stars ever.....

floyds quote from one of the episodes of his last 24/7 when asked about the cases "people are money hungry".....it is what it is....hell be out in less than 30 days.....and someone is gonna feel his wrath come may

most overrated boxer of all time, hasn't beaten anyone when they were at their best. Manny destroyed guys that mayweather only beat by a little.

new guys reading this don't take what ttwarrior1 says seriously. this post above is prime example.

Incorrect. Per Webster:

"hometown: the city or town where one was born or grew up; also : the place of one's principal residence."

hatton...undefeated when floyd knocked him silly.....hatton was almost knocked out on his home turf by juan lazcano after that fight...then fought feather fisted paulie malignaggi after that before fighting pac

floyd beat oscar at 154 for a legit 154 world title....oscars most comfortable weight...manny fought oscar at 147 where oscar hadnt fought in 8 years.....even roach said he saw the iv marks fresh in oscars arms because they were desperately trying to hydrate him in the dressing room....manny claims a 154 title....which he won at a catchweight for a vacant title against an undeserving margarito

floyd dominated shane after shane was coming off one of the most impressive wins in his career......manny fought him after he drew with sergio fuckin mora.....

i dont even know why i bother...u are retarded...but i still feel the need to inform u

[SBR Lou]

Don't forget Marquez, Bobby. He was utterly outclassed and lost by DD on the cards against Floyd while Manny arguably lost 2 if not all 3 of their encounters.

ya...i still cant believe floyd pinned ortiz against the ropes and launched his head at him

[Big Bear]

did he just slap her or did he like really beat her badly?

[ttwarrior1]

manny destroyed hatten and oscar.

oscar beat mayweather, the judges just gave it to mayweather. If you could block out each boxer and it showed a computer animation of oscar vs mayweather, i guarantee more would say the animation of oscar won. Boom

Yeah. It will be crazy when the next guy to fight Floyd goes to touch gloves with Floyd at the beginning of the fight and then just throws a haymaker to his mouth instead and knocks him out. Floyd won't be able to complain though because you're supposed to protect yourself at all times, right?
