Floyd Mayweather Jr. sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to domestic violence charges

Decorated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. may be untouchable in the ring but the trait doesn’t carry over to his life outside of the squared-circle.

The polarizing pugilist plead guilty earlier today to charges of domestic violence/harassment based on a 2010 incident where he hit the mother of two of his children in front of them and made threatening statements towards them. As a result he has been sentenced to 90 days in hail, as well as issued 100 community service hours and fined $2,500. Mayweather Jr. will report to jail on January 6, 2012.

According to testimony in the case, the 42-0 Mayweather Jr. implied he could have the ex-girlfriend killed and that their ten-year old son was so fearful he ran to fetch security.

“(The) punishment is appropriate,” Judge Melissa Saragosa said at sentencing. “No matter who you are, you have consequences to your actions when they escalate to this level of violence.”

It is not Mayweather Jr.’s first run-in with the law including another domestic abuse case dating back to 2002.
