Floyd Mayweather Jr. Sentencing Delayed, Boxer Free to Fight
Ah, the life of a famous person. You can pretty much admit that you beat up the mother of your children… and then make a deal with a judge that allows you to fight for millions.
Such is the case for Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was sentenced to 90 days in prison last month on a domestic violence charge, but has now successfully postponed his jail time until June. This means he’ll be free to fight in Nevada on May 5.
“We are pleased that the judge granted postponement of Floyd’s surrender date so that he can fulfill his commitment to Las Vegas to deliver his promised mega-fight and the economic benefits it provides to the community,” said Leonard Ellerbe, a representative of the fighter.
No opponent has yet been named for the May 5 fight.
Mayweather will then begin serving his prison term on June 1. He must also complete 100 hours of community service and pay a $ 2,500 fine.
