Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather's Assault Hearing Pushed To April 28

[Lorily]

SOP of the defense is usually to continue, continue, continue (the case). The longer the case is delayed, the better the chance of witnesses changing their mind or that the prosecution will lay out a plea agreement worth taking. The Prosecution almost always offers a plea deal and they will actually bartar back and forth with the defense attorneys like a contract. Believe it or not, they don't want to take it to court unless they absolutely have to. Remember, there are 8 charges in this case alone - the Prosecution usually lays it on thick in order to leave way to negotiate, dismiss or reduce several charges. But I guarantee you, when it comes to the position of the child (will he testify or won't he?), it has a great deal to do with how strong the Prosecutions case is or is not. The defense can fairly easily explain away Josie, i.e. "She's done this before", but if the son decides to testify, then charges (albiet possibly reduced) will go down.

Floyd could probably sign, seal and deliver an entire fight before this case ever goes to court. JMO.

Mayweather's Assault Case

Continuances for cases like this is practically standard practice. Lawyers love to extend the court hearings to future dates...in the meantime their time clocks ticks hundreds of dollars every short period of time. Floyd may secretly want the case settled ASAP so he can clear up whatever business he wants to do. In extending cases like these Floyd tend to lose millions because there's the lawfirm that will suck him of his savings. Usually the prosecuting attorneys also has something under the table...and it is not pocket change unless you call 5 mill pocket change.

And Floyd has two other cases involving the security guards and another involving the slander lawsuits from Team Pacquiao.

Each push in court date is more limelight without taking a punch. Yawn.

[ronnie_N.]

the hearing was pushed due to conflicting schedules... apparently, floyd is busy despite a year long vacation...

[jbpanama]

Question is, who pushed it back?

I mean this is just the preliminary hearing

This is a Prelim, the Main Event is the Ocie Harris
Skating Ring Case Facilitating Attempted MURDER!!!

floyd is happy becuase of these hearings....atleast he's got a not so ridiculous excuse of ducking pac now......the boy would rather go to jail than face pac, thats just pathetic....lol....

[iloveboxing2]

They should put this on PPV for a BUCK...

..at least floyd's die hard fans can get a glimpse of him..and they can all think of title for this one...

[johncods]

What a waste of talent. Feel sorry for the guy.

[Drunk Punch]

If he aint fighting then prison is the best place for him. Least he can't beat any women in there. Unless he finds his own 'woman'.

Hopefully when he goes on trial the judge sentences him to fight Pacquiao. Honestly at this point I think its the only way that fight is going to happen; It seriously is a crime for these to guys to not fight each other.
