Roger Mayweather, 48, faces felony charges that he attacked a female boxer at a Las Vegas apartment.
The criminal trial has been postponed to October 25.
If convicted, Roger Mayweather could face up to 10 years in prison. He remains free on $13,000 bail.
Fans of Floyd Mayweather have argued that the reason the boxer turned down a fight with Filipino boxer Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao (51-3-2) is because of the possibility of Roger Mayweather's absence during training camp for a November 13 boutRoger Mayweather's defense attorney Jack Buchanan said Clark County District Court Judge Valerie Adair cited a scheduling conflict in delaying the trial.

Trials in the U.S. are often delayed by several months, even years, from requests for continuations - a legal request that postpones proceedings.
Even minor traffic offenses receive continuations for months or years.
That seems to cast doubt on the argument that Roger Mayweather may not be on Floyd's corner for a Pacquiao bout, instead fueling speculations that the Grand Rapids native simply does not want to get in the ring with the Filipino icon.
Roger Mayweather has pleaded not guilty to battery charges stemming from a scuffle with 26-year-old Melissa St. Vil. The female boxer testified in January that Roger Mayweather punched and choked her to near-unconsciousness before police arrived at an apartment.
