LAS VEGAS -- A Las Vegas judge has denied a request from boxer Floyd Mayweather to serve the remainder of his jail sentence from home.

Judge Melissa Saragosa denied Mayweather's request late Wednesday.

Mayweather claimed he was underfed and also unable to train. The judge denied his request, saying chose not to eat the food available and that he could train in his cell.

Mayweather was sent to jail for 90 days starting on June 1 after being arrested for domestic violence.  

He was accused of hitting and threatening his ex-girlfriend, stealing her cell phone and threatening two of their children at her home in September 2010. He could have faced 34 years in prison.

So Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn’t like jail. As heavyweight champion Joe Louis said when he was told that an opponent didn’t like to get hit in the body, “Who do?”

With his client just 12 days into a three-month jail sentence on domestic battery at the Clark County Detention Center, Mayweather’s lawyer, Richard Wright, filed an emergency motion on Monday to have the 35-year-old pound-for-pound king finish his sentence under house arrest.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal got a copy of the 35-page motion, which paints Mayweather as a man who is more than just a little homesick. Wright said the boxer’s physical condition is deteriorating with the stress that he’s under while in jail and his boxing career is in jeopardy.

Wright called Mayweather’s condition “inhumane.” For his own safety Mayweather is in segregation and spends 23 hours a day confined to his cell in a part of the jail that houses felons. He has access to the recreation area for one hour a day, but can’t use the training facilities. Along with being subjected to the poor prison food, he is getting out of shape.

1. He doesn't like 23 hours of confinement and bad food?

2. Don't beat your wife and you won't go to jail.

He gets to eat the same food as everyone else.

Release him to the GP. The baddest guy in the ring isn't necessarily the baddest guy in the jail house.

Screw him.

14. 23 hours of confinement and bad food? That's called "a job".

[ohiosmith]

15. Or in some cases, marriage!

[HopeHoops]

20. Not mine. I'm totally happy with my lady.

I seriously can't comprehend the notion of a better lady. She's my best friend and my wife and then there's the (CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED) part.

[ohiosmith]

21. We know that! Except the "CENSORED, ETC, ETC" stuff. Photographic proof would be helpful.

[HopeHoops]

22. Oh, like I'm going to post that.

I've got it, but it isn't for public consumption.

3. As some who worked in the prison system...

for 18 years my advice to Inmate Mayweather is: stock up on some zoom-zooms and wham-whams on store day and go press your bunk.

[ohiosmith]

4. Excellent advice!

[liberaltrucker]

5. His lawyer is Pink Floyd's keyboardist?

[ohiosmith]

6. Dead keyboardist!

[liberaltrucker]

8. I know that. Just *trolling* for a DUzy

19. No, an African-American author

7. Hey, Mayweather’s lawyer, Richard Wright,

Wright called Mayweather’s condition “inhumane.”

Make that a class action suit and I might give a care.

[ohiosmith]

9. Inhumane for a pampered thug. This is the first time this shit bag has been held accountable.

Over the years he has beaten his girlfriends and wife, assaulted patrons and staff in nightclubs, and committed battery against a security guard at his compound.

A couple of years ago, one of his body guards fired several shots into a group of people at a skating rink, apparently at Floyd's instruction.

Fuck em!

[Ptah]

10. Inhumane for anyone

. . . Mayweather is in segregation and spends 23 hours a day confined to his cell in a
part of the jail that houses felons. He has access to the recreation area for one hour a day, . . .

[ohiosmith]

11. Release him to the GP! I'd really like to see how long he would last.

I have a particular and personal dislike for men who beat women and abuse children.

Give him a dose of his own medicine.

12. I thought Floyd Mayweather was on the Andy Griffith Show

Or am I conflating two characters?

[ohiosmith]

13. Good catch!

[rrneck]

16. If you've spent your life training to whip ass

keep it in the ring. Judges, and pretty much everybody else, take a dim view of professional ass kickers threatening people. And they won't have much sympathy for your chickenshit whining either.

[ohiosmith]

17. Amen!
