US boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr jailed for domestic abuse

[jafrfc 614]

US boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr has been jailed for 90 days by a Las Vegas court after pleading guilty to assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris, in 2010.

He was also ordered to pay a fine of $2,500 (£1,600) and complete 100 hours of community service.

Mayweather, 34, agreed to a plea deal, meaning he will not have to answer felony charges of beating Ms Harris and threatening two of their children.

Prosecutors said Mayweather's history meant jail time was appropriate.

"He just continually gets himself into trouble and he is able to get himself out of it as well," Prosecutor Lisa Luzaich told Judge Melissa Saragosa.

"Essentially it is because he is who he is and is able to get away with everything. The only thing that's going to get this man's attention is incarceration."

Mayweather has been told to report to jail on 6 January.

He is facing another court appearance next week on charges of assaulting a security guard outside his home in November 2010 in an argument over parking tickets. He is expected to plead no contest.

His jail sentence means he will be released only two months before a major fight against the Philippines' Manny Pacquiao, scheduled to take place on 5 May.

There's a difference in being a great boxer and being able to protect yourself from arse rapings.

[Chef 436]

In with the real hard men eh

[King Jela 20,364]

Hopefully he gets chewed up in the jail, he'll most likely be well protected though. Money can do marvellous things.

I never even knew he was in trouble

Not really.

They go hand in hand.

Will destroy him and make it look good.

Doubt anyone would fuck with him in jail, hed have them out for the count before they knew what'd hit them.

[Troop6 12]

His twitter feed is absolutely cringeworthy. "the moneyteam"

[Chef 436]

Hitting women, befitting of a thug with no morals, hope he gets raped continuously, three at a time, tied up, muffled.

[FatPirateHooker 141]

Total scumbag, always has been.

[Ryan_1 1,136]

Still want Floyd to beat Paquaio for argument sakes, but my opinion of him definitely has changed.

[Mr Soprano 13,964]

A good boxer one on one doesn't mean he could fend off 5 guys battering fuck out of him at once. Used to think he was brilliant, fuck him if he's doing that.

[gersandy 594]

Mayweather will train like a mad man in jail. All gearing up to a classic.

[Skelf 1,153]

People have short memories. This happened a good while back but people still supported him. Did he not catch her with another man?? Nuff said.

He doesn't sound like much of a man at all really.
