Floyd Maryweather is a bully. Not just in the ring, where he was lucky to win the past couple of fights but also in real life as he likes to pick on security guards who are trying to protect his property and those of his neighbors. Maryweather is also a coward- not only does he chicken out when challenged by Manny Pacquiao but he is a coward for picking on smaller people and his girlfriend. And he sure knows how to play for the crowds as he fights in front of thousands of people on fight night but also beats people in front of his kids.
But all good things come to an end as Maryweather is now sitting in jail.
From The LVRJ: Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has it all.
An undefeated
record, friendships with pop stars, sports cars, SUVs, millions in cash
and jewelry, an entourage of toughs and a 12,000-square-foot mansion.
But for the next three months, he won't have his freedom.
Mayweather
began serving an 87-day jail sentence Friday for beating his
ex-girlfriend in front of their children in September 2010.
After
a brief hearing before Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa,
a court marshal cuffed the former Olympian, who hung his head as he was
escorted from the courtroom to a holding cell. He was then booked into
the Clark County Detention Center, where he will serve his sentence. A
mug shot released by authorities showed him sporting a goatee, blue
jail scrubs and a blank stare.
Earlier, he arrived at the
downtown courthouse in a pearl white Cadillac Escalade and dressed in a
dark gray sweatsuit with red drawstrings. Courthouse marshals quickly
escorted him to Saragosa's court as a media throng snapped photos and
rolled video.
Inside the courtroom, the crowded wooden benches
included news reporters and Mayweather supporters, including rapper
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and the boxer's cut man, Rafael Garcia.
Before
ordering him into custody, Saragosa commended the boxer for his
progress toward completing his court-ordered counseling and community
service.
Mayweather finished 21 of the 54 counseling sessions,
including one on May 5, the day of Mayweather's last fight, a victory
over Miguel Cotto.
Saragosa had excused him from that day's class, but he attended anyway.
"I was impressed with that," she told him.

During his time in jail Mayweather will be kept in protective
custody, which is procedure with celebrity inmates to maintain order
and protect them from other prisoners, Las Vegas police officer Jose
Hernandez said.
The 1996 Olympic boxing bronze medal winner will
have an hour of free time a day, which will include access to a
recreation room. The one hour of free time could come at any time of
day and can include watching basic television.
TV time does not
include access to pay-per-view cable to watch Manny Pacquiao's June 9
bout with Timothy Bradley. Boxing fans have clamored for a bout pitting
Pacquiao against Mayweather, who both lay claim to the unofficial title
of best pound-for-pound fighter. But their camps haven't been able to
agree to terms for the past three years.
Considering that the judge in this case pretty much in love with Maryweather, it could have been or should have been treated more harshly and given additional time because this is the only way to get Maryweather's attention.
Hopefully, after this jailing, it will sink into Maryweather's thick skull (not an insult but fact) Maryweather and his entourage will stop picking on people who are outside the boxing ring.
