Do You Have Sympathy for Floyd Mayweather?

Boxing's pound-for-pound best Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. may be the toughest in the ring, but outside of it, that looks to be far from the case when he has to suffer consequences for his real-life actions. It was just a few weeks ago after his victory over Miguel Cotto, that Mayweather said in his post-fight interview that he was going to serve his jail sentence like a man and take full responsibility for his actions. That hasn't happened.

Yes, Mayweather is in jail due to attacking his girlfriend in front of his children and started his sentence on June 1, but his people are begging Las Vegas and the state of Nevada to let him out -- and put him on house arrest. Why? They claim because Mayweather is in solitary confinement that his condition is deteriorating and that by the end of this jail sentence, he could never fight again. His people have asked the judge to move Mayweather to the jail's general population, but for security concerns, that might not happen.

It's been said Mayweather won't get moved because it'll be accommodating a criminal even more than he's already been. He was actually supposed to serve his sentence earlier, but the judge allowed him to fight once more before that. A report from Yahoo! Sports also states that Mayweather's people are saying he's underfed, but in reality, he's just been rejecting jail food. This isn't supposed to be the Marriott, buddy. You commit the crime, you do the time. Shouldn't Floyd Mayweather feel lucky his celebrity status got him off lighter than expected? Should “Money” man up?

    There are always two side to every story.., and looking at Floyd's situation on the surface based on the way laws are rendered one could reason that he does not deserve sympathy.
    But what led to the altercation..? did she strike him...? I'm just not one of those men that feels no matter what a woman do she get's a free past.

    If she can hit someone.., someone should be able to hit back.., How was she conducting herself in front of the kids just prior to the physical encounter? No one is saying anything about that. A woman is no more special than a man and shouldn't be treated any different just because she is a woman.

    Now I am not advocating that women should be beat on.., but at the same time when she get in one of those "I'll slap your face moods because she don't like something he said..., well..., she just injected a new rule into the game.

    I have never understood how it is that the cops can come on the scene and they insist that you keep your hands where they can see them and you should not make any sudden moves. And if you attack them with just your hands they pepper spray your ass whether you are a woman or a man. Yet if a woman hit a man and he sat her ass down for it.., he is wrong. Now the cop just peeped her ass for the first time and he peppered sprayed her . On ...

    Everybody has their breaking point, and their comes a time when enough is enough. I blame these celebrities for going after women that are not equally yoked that are seeking benefits. Like I said none of us were their and do not know the hold story.., but I just do not see Floyd as the kind of man that would just come in the door and go where is my bitch..? I feel like kicking her ass, there is more to this story. Sorry I am just not feeling this one...JOMO

    There is no reason for him to deteriorating. If you have nooticed, a lot of brothers get out of prison looking buff due to lifting weights.and eating whatever they give them to eat. Mayweather is choosing to starve, so that's his problem. He is lucky they put him in solitary so everybody and their brother would not be trying to punk him just to show how tough they are. He would really be deteriorating behind that.

    More like HE'LL no, he is ghetto and has ZERO class... I know he makes a living fighting, but his behavior is just RUDE... And he has his head so far up his own ass, he thinks he can do whatever he wants... Wrong... I hope they throw the book at him, and put him under the jail... Seriously, he gets to hit people for money, inside a ring... Why would his dumbass do it outside the ring?!?

    Lindsay Lohan is only hurting herself. She didn't beat up someone else in front of their kids.

    She chased someone down in her car, while having drugs on her . She has stole from people. And the list can go on.

    she risked the liives of others by her chasing, as well. I agree wth you. She is a danger to others and to herself.

    He committed a crime and belongs in prison just like any other citizen. There is too much special treatment for the rich and wel connected.
