Floyd Mayweather surrenders to begin three-month jail sentence

[GOODFELLAS]

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s request that he be released from jail because the low-quality food and water have threatened his health was denied by a Las Vegas judge who says he should eat and drink what is being given to him behind bars.

Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa wrote in her late Wednesday decision that water has been made available to Mayweather around the clock and the only reason he isn't eating properly is because he refuses to eat the provided meals. Saragosa said Mayweather's complaints that he is unable to exercise in jail are also unfounded.

"While the physical training areas and times provided to (Mayweather) may not be consistent with his prior regimen, he is indeed provided sufficient space and time for physical activity if he so chooses," Saragosa wrote.

A mere 10 days after Mayweather turned himself in to begin his three-month sentence, his legal team filed an emergency motion Monday asking the court to put him under house arrest or move him into the general jail population -- something that jail officials had avoided to protect the celebrity fighter. The motion claimed the undefeated champion might never fight again because he was getting out of shape in solitary confinement.

I read that earlier GF, he's been held in solitary confinement since he arrived and its starting to get to him. Hopefully it sends the message the judge mean't it to. I think Mayweather has 2 or 3 good fights left in him, he has slowed down on his punch output over the last 2 years and was hit more than I had ever seen him get hit against Coto.

After the two-time titleholder Hernandez died in June at the age of 45 following a three-year battle with cancer, Mayweather paid for the funeral later that month without fanfare.

"I told him that 'anything I can do to help you while you're in that situation, you know, let me know," said Mayweather. "I said 'I don't care what it is.' And then, you know, a few months later, he passes away. So you know, you think about certain things like that."

Thats what happens when u fuck up and go to jail. You arent going to be provided 8 meals a day and ur own fitness center available 24/7. Its jail dude. If you dont like it keep ur hands off people or take it to the ring.

I can't understand some of these pro athletes.alot of these guys get away with a lot of shit.the average guy like myself would do jail time not these pussy sentences that they get given.floyd is Floyd.even when he boxing career is over he will find himself again in trouble with the law.
