Floyd Mayweather Jr. pleads no contest to misdemeanor battery in latest legal woe

December has been a rough month for decorated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., though deservedly so based on a pair of incidents in 2010 involving the 34-year old physically attacking an innocent person. Fresh off being sentenced to ninety days in jail after pleading guilty in a domestic violence case where he punched a mother of his children in front of them, the outspoken title-holder’s name was back in a Las Vegas court room today stemming from a slightly less salacious situation involving a security guard who he assaulted over parking tickets.

Though Mayweather Jr. was not present at the proceedings his lawyer submitted a plea of no contest and was forced to pay a $1,000 fine (little more than pocket change for the self-titled “Money Mayweather”).

By doing so Mayweather Jr. has chosen not to dispute, and therefore acknowledge, the security guard’s claim that he was poked in the face several times by the 42-0 welterweight.

Mayweather Jr. has previously been punished for other battery/assault cases with three convictions between 2002-2005.
