Floyd Mayweather Jr. pleads guilty

Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been sentenced to 90 days in jail after he plead guilty to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges.

The case stemmed from a hair-pulling, punching and arm-twisting argument with his ex-girlfriend Josie Harris while two of their children watched in September 2010.

Mayweather, 34, stood still in a striped olive vest and showed no reaction as the judge sentenced him to six months in the Clark County jail then suspended half the term.

She gave him credit for three days previously served in jail and ordered him to complete 100 hours of community service, pay a $2,500 fine and complete a yearlong domestic violence counseling program.

The plea deal avoided trial on felony and a misdemeanor that could have gotten Mayweather 34 years in state prison if he was convicted on all counts.

Mayweather also faces a civil lawsuit in Las Vegas from two men who allege he orchestrated a shooting attack on them outside a skating rink in 2009. Police have never accused Mayweather of firing shots and he has never been criminally charged in the case.

Good behavior could knock several weeks off Mayweather's sentence. But he will likely serve most of the sentence set to begin Jan. 6th in Las Vegas.
I think he's just gonna come out buff! Lol :O)
