Boxer Floyd Mayweather was released from a Las Vegas jail early Friday after serving two months of a three-month sentence in a misdemeanor domestic battery case.
As Paris Hilton once said of jailhouse food, “It’s not supposed to be good. It’s jail.” Champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. seems to have learned that quickly.
When Dr. Dale Carrison, chief of staff at University Medical Center, learned another physician had claimed that a 90-day jail stay would place boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s health in jeopardy, Carrison said he felt embarrassment for the medical profession. Carrison said ” sanity prevailed” when a judge denied Mayweather’s request to be placed under house arrest because of “inhumane” conditions at the Clark County Detention Center.
A Las Vegas judge has denied undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s request for house arrest in a decision released late Wednesday.
Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. began serving an 87-day jail sentence Friday for beating his ex-girlfriend in front of their children in September 2010.
A month after pleading guilty to battery-domestic violence, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. said Wednesday he “absolutely” did not kick or punch the mother of three of his children in 2010. Mayweather took a plea deal to end Las Vegas criminal cases that have netted him thousands of dollars in fines, 100 hours of community service, a year of counseling sessions and a yet-to-be-served 90-day jail sentence.
A Las Vegas judge on Friday delayed the 90-day jail term for Floyd Mayweather Jr. after his defense lawyer argued the sentence would interfere with training for the boxing champ’s May 5 bout, which could be worth $100 million to the city.
