A mere ten days into his three-month sentence for domestic battery and harassment, the Las Vegas judge who sentenced boxer Floyd Mayweather has denied his request to be released from jail because the low-quality food and water have threatened his health. In the emergency motion, Mayweather had asked to serve the remainder of his sentence on house arrest in his elegant Vegas mansion rather than a jail cell.

Mayweather’s attorneys argued that if he stayed in solitary confinement behind bars, it would cause financial and emotional harm if he were no longer able to pursue his boxing career because of the “de-conditioning” he would suffer. Mayweather claimed that he was being treated “in a very unfair, inhumane way.” He also claimed that he was only convicted of misdemeanor offenses, but was being held in an area where felon defendants are in lockdown, because the jail can’t accommodate his celebrity status.

Doesn’t all of this just bring tears to your eyes for poor Floyd? He must have forgotten his promise after the recent Miguel Cotto fight in which he told the national HBO television audience that he had to “man up” and do his time.

Mayweather pled guilty in December after assaulting the mother of his three children and threatening his two sons. The case stemmed from a hair-pulling, punching and arm-twisting argument with his ex-girlfriend Josie Harris while two of their children watched. Harris reported that Mayweather threatened to kill or make her “disappear.”

The plea deal avoided trial on felony and misdemeanor that could have gotten Mayweather 34 years in state prison if he was convicted on all counts. In addition, he pled no contest to a separate misdemeanor harassment charge involving a 21-year-old homeowner association security guard who was poked in the face during an argument about parking tickets placed on cars outside Mayweather’s house.

This isn’t the first time that “Money” Mayweather has faced domestic battery charges. In 2002 he was convicted of misdemeanor battery stemming from a fight with two women at a Las Vegas nightclub. He received a suspended one-year jail sentence and was ordered to undergo impulse-control counseling.

He was fined in Grand Rapids in February 2005 and ordered to perform community service after pleading no contest to misdemeanor assault and battery for a bar fight. Also in 2005, a Nevada jury acquitted him after being accused of hitting and kicking Harris during an argument outside a Las Vegas nightclub.

Do I detect a pattern here?

Floyd Mayweather Jr. may have a perfect 42-0 in the ring and be called a “champion,” but outside the ring he is anything but.
