LAS VEGAS (AP) — Undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has avoided jail time until June 1 in a Las Vegas domestic violence case involving an attack on his ex-girlfriend while two of their children watched in September 2010.
The 34-year-old fighter had been scheduled to turn himself in Friday to begin serving a 90-day sentence imposed last month.
A judge said she weighed Mayweather’s contractual obligations to the fight set for May in Las Vegas against an as-yet unnamed opponent.
Mayweather’s lawyer pleaded with the judge to allow Mayweather to fulfill commitments regarding the fight, emphasizing the economic benefit to Las Vegas when Mayweather fights.
