Mayweather's November fight will be in courtroom, not ring
Bob Velin, USA TODAY
In November, a month most boxing fans had hoped to give thanks for the long-overdue Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao mega-fight, expected to be the highest-grossing prizefight of all time, Mayweather instead will face another kind of battle — in a courtroom.
Mayweather and his uncle/trainer, Roger Mayweather, are scheduled to appear in court to face separate felony domestic violence charges that, if they're convicted, could land them in jail for a while. Roger, 49, goes on trial Oct. 25 on charges that he punched and choked a female boxer in a Las Vegas apartment.
Pacquiao is multitasking as a congressman in the Philippines, while training for a fight with Antonio Margarito on Nov. 13 in Dallas. He said he does not need the Mayweather fight to complete his legacy. He also said he would be waiting for Mayweather when the undefeated fighter was ready.
