Floyd Mayweather Sentenced To 90 Days In Jail

PrintWBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has pled guilty on a domestic violence charge and has been sentenced to serve 90 days in jail according to Yahoo boxing writer Kevin Iole on Twitter:
Bad Left Hook has all the background on the plea deal:
Floyd Mayweather Jr will be getting rid of a lot of his legal woes by pleading guilty to reduced charges on several misdemeanors on Wednesday, which knocks down one of the repeated concerns about Mayweather fight Manny Pacquiao on May 5, if indeed each side is really serious about making the fight happen.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has been fond of bringing up Mayweather's impending court cases when giving reasons why Floyd and Manny Pacquiao didn't fight in 2011 and maybe can't in 2012, so this ends that whole thing. Arum knew better, of course -- it was just an excuse, something to say, and a way to point out that Mayweather had a lot of legal trouble on his plate. At no point did Arum likely believe Floyd Mayweather was going to serve jail time or anything of the sort; Mayweather fought Victor Ortiz on September 17 with all of this hanging over his head, and he wasn't going to miss a May 5 date either.
Note that BLH was writing before the 90 day sentence was announced. It's hard for me to see how Mayweather spends January, February and March in jail and still has time to train for a May bout with Manny Pacquiao.
The Washington Post has more:
The plea deal avoids trial on felony allegations that he hit his ex-girlfriend and threatened two of their children during an argument at her home in September 2010.
Prosecutor Lisa Luzaich told the judge Mayweather has been in trouble before and hasn't been punished.
Also see Bloody Elbow's coverage of Mayweather's September 2010 arrest as well as an unrelated November 2010 allegation.

Wow, I'm surprised by this (the sentencing, not that he's guilty), cool judge
For those hoping for a May boxing mega-fight between Mayweather and his fellow superstar Manny Pacquiao, this is very bad news. There’s little to no chance that Mayweather will be able to make that fight happen now.

The athletic commissions may also play a role in this before it’s all said and done, and in that regard, anyone who follows MMA should have an interest in this issue.
Why would the commission have any involvement in this?
It’s a matter that doesn’t involve them at all.

After all the issues Sonnen had getting a license to coach TUF in Nevada,
And all the brouhaha the NSAC made about Overeem, if the NSAC ends up rubber stamping Mayweather for a license again it’ll really expose the Boxing/MMA double standard in the commissions.
If it's for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao
The NSAC would license him without questioning. If big money is coming in, they won’t put up even a little bit of resistance.

Precisely.
Just like how Chael Sonnen’s real estate scandal is unrelated to MMA but it still factored into CSAC refusing to renew his license after his 6 month suspension was over. That is my whole point.
The CSAC =/= NSAC and Mayweather =/= Sonnen
Your point is terribly misguided. Also Sonnen’s legal troubles were hardly the meat and potatoes of why he was in front of the commission that day.

But NSAC = NSAC and they didn't license him for TUF because of what happened with CSAC
You are terribly uninformed, and are personally attacking me when I’m the one who actually watched the videos of the hearings and know my stuff which is frustrating.
When Sonnen went to CSAC in order to be reinstated after his 6 month suspension was up, the commission specifically cited his legal troubles with his real estate kickback thing as a factor in denying him a license. There’s video of it somewhere, I’m sure.

They didn't license him for TUF
Because he lied to the CSAC about a conversation he had with Keith Kizer.
You’re the one who is misinformed. Chael Sonnen’s real estate dealing have had ZERO impact on his licensing. Chael Sonnen’s lying about dealings with the commissioner of the NSAC have.

At one point the NSAC released a public statement that amounted to a list of reasons they were suspending Sonnen’s license, and the real estate charge was one of them. This was prior to the hearing taking place, where it was then mentioned in passing.

Exactly
When the CSAC is in a position where they have to question your credibility, and you are up on fucking felony fraud charges, of course it’s going to be applicable. This is a different scenario than Mayweather.
Read: Toblerone Jones
So, felony fraud charges are worse than felony assault charges on a female (reduced by a plea deal) by a professional fighter when it comes to licensing someone to fight professionally.
No,
But it actually has something to do with the case in question. How do you not understand that his fraud charges were brought up to create a history of lying. It was a character issue. Floyd’s case on the other hand has absolutely nothing to do with Floyd boxing.
Read: Toblerone Jones
How does citing a conviction for taking real estate kickbacks display a history of "lying"?
It’s a completely unrelated situation and that’s my beef with it. He served his suspension for the TRT and then the real estate thing was brought up as a reason to not renew the license.
They didn't renew his license because he lied to them
You don’t see how an unrelated fraud conviction would be pertinent information in that hearing?
Read: Toblerone Jones
When you just call it a FRAUD conviction then yeah.
That word has some shock value to it, which is why I object to it even being part of the conversation and feel that it had no place in that hearing. It effectively “poisoned the well” so to speak. He was taking illegal kickbacks from contractors. He was already punished for it by a court that has the authority to punish him for it. He had a 6 month suspension from the athletic commission for elevated testosterone levels, and this hearing took place after the 6 months were up and he wanted to get a new license. They had every right to talk about the Kizer thing since it was relevant, but crossed the line when discussing an unrelated legal matter in my opinion and it seemed like they were just piling on. If Floyd happens to get a new license without the commission even mentioning that he assaulted a woman which I would think is something a bit worse than a shady construction deal when considering to license a fighter, I see this as a double standard between how commissions treat boxing and MMA.

You do realize that Sonnen committed fraud (falsified legal documents) in order to hide the kickback he was receiving? He has a history of lying, legally speaking. This is why it was brought up at the CSAC relicensing hearing… because basically even when swearing to tell the truth (or however you would like to equate that with falsifying legal documents) Sonnen is KNOWN to be a liar.

What I'm saying is that
legal cases not involving commissions and general conduct outside of the ring/cage shouldn’t have any effect on someone getting licensed or not, but if Sonnen’s case had a negative effect on his licensing (which it did), then Mayweather’s should as well, even though we know it wont. The fact that his assault case (something that should have more weight in licensing a fighter IMO) most likely won’t negatively impact him getting licensed exposes an egregious double standard.
legal cases not involving commissions and general conduct outside of the ring/cage shouldn’t have any effect on someone getting licensed or not,
In general, yes. Of course, if you are a fighter and convicted liar, and in the course of getting relicensed to fight you have to give sworn in testimony, your conviction for lying is relevant.
And the double standard that is being applied here is that Sonnen threw Kizer under the bus (while lying in the process), and now the SAC’s were out for their pound of flesh. Is it fair? No… but that’s how the world works. If you piss someone off in a position of power, you can expect them to use that power to screw you. Sonnen shouldn’t have lied about his conversation with Kizer, he’d be in alot less trouble now.

Both
Look at it this way, Mike Tyson raped a girl, went to prison, came back and got a license to fight no problem and then proceeded to bite a man’s ear off in the ring. Even after that and a lengthy suspension, he still got a license to fight and made some big money.
My point is that if you really believe that the NSAC gives a shit about Mayweather going to jail other than the money they will lose by not being able to put on another Mayweather fight in that time period, than you are being wilfully naive.

I'm glad
Floyd’s a prick.
Would love to see Pacquiao vs Mayweather before they are 60 though…
I want to say "that fight will happen. It's inevitable."
But then I remember the fact that it hasn’t happened yet, for no good reason, and my hopes wither. I think it’ll take one of them just really lambasting the other publicly and demanding the fight. You have to admit neither man has really clamored to fight the other; instead they’ve done a great job of avoiding it.
I think they both know they have a decent chance of losing the fight. So instead of making one huge payday and risking their “legacy”, they just avoid the fight and make big money fighting the safe fights. This is in no way factual, just how I see it.
Sounds likely. It’s just silly though; a loss wouldn’t likely kill either of their drawing power, especially a loss to either man. If anything it would just make them bigger stars, and if it was a good fight or ended by some bizarre technicality (see: boxing 2011) there could be a rematch, which would be another huge payday. I think you’re right, but I’ll expand upon the theory by adding that they must also be influenced by the dozens of people close to their business that are constantly in their ears.
