The 35-year-old boxer pleaded guilty last year to reduced charges stemming from a hair-pulling, arm-twisting attack on his former girlfriend.

Boxer Floyd Mayweather was released from a Las Vegas jail after serving two months of a three-month sentence in a misdemeanor domestic battery case.

The undefeated boxer walked out of the Clark County Detention Center in darkness to resume his boxing career.

Mayweather's lawyers and personal physician said in court documents that jail food and water didn't meet Mayweather's dietary needs, and lack of exercise space in a cramped cell of fewer than 98 square feet threatened his health and fitness.

The 35-year-old boxer pleaded guilty last year to reduced charges stemming from a hair-pulling, arm-twisting attack on his former girlfriend. The plea deal allowed him to avoid trial on felony charges that could have gotten him up to 34 years in prison.

Yeah Rite Kasi Kid, the very same Pacman that couldn't beat Juan Man and recently lost to Bradley. Pac man is a one handed, 1 dimensional fighter and he doesn't stand a chance against Floyd. Remember he has to catch him first b4 he knocks him out.

Was Floyd not sentenced four to six months? He presumably served 5 or 6 weeks of his condemnation to hell. Money doesnt only talk in this world it also sings sweet mellody to the ears of justice. This is actually happening all over the God forsaken world not only SA.
