US boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr goes to jail

[Terpe]

US world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr has begun a three-month jail term for domestic violence.

The fighter was sentenced last December after pleading guilty to attacking his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris.

The judge delayed his jail time to allow him to fight Miguel Cotto on 5 May. He won the fight, for which he reportedly received $32m.

Rapper 50 Cent was at the Las Vegas courtroom with Mayweather, and said the boxer would be "all right".

At the time of sentencing, the judge had told the court she was particularly concerned that Mayweather had attacked and threatened Ms Harris while two of their children were present.

The assault took place in 2010.

Mayweather has been involved in a string of criminal cases for violence since 2002.

He is widely regarded as one of the world's best boxers, and has won all 43 of his professional fights.

I have nothing but contempt for the 'man'.

Men don't strike women...unwritten rule.

Trained boxer striking woman ?

Castrate him.

Gone way down in my estimation.
Hope he never gets the chance to fight with Pac-man.

Pac-man is no angel

[joebloggs]

He's had and still getting numerous chances to fight Paq man...each time he makes an excuse not to.

Mayweather Jr is living on past glories...his last against Hatton nigh on 5 years ago...then that took him 10 rds to finish unlike Manny's 2 rd destruction of him.

... 3 months in "the cooler" [on this occasion] is as valid an excuse as any!

Mark my words ....he'll be out in 3 weeks. Its not just in The Philippines where money reigns supreme above all else

Yank, Mayweather (or his reported behaviour) ... and the recent British May weather have something in common - NEITHER has been good!
