[RL_GMA]

You're in jail dude, it ain't the Riviera...hence why people try to NOT go to jail.

This isn't a movie.

I know, but if he wants house arrest, he should atleast do some pre-settled "community service"

They can make sure he's properly fed (or has the opportunity to be) without Floyd ever leaving jail.

[RL_GMA]

and he lives in a ****in Mansion, what kind of punishment if House Arrest for him? LOL

[brick wall]

If May on house arrest, how can he fight?

lol...he can fight his baby mama again


but seriously, of course he can't fight while under house arrest...that's pretty simple common sense.

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

Mayweather or any celebrity would never be allowed in general pop.

Just a ploy by his lawyers trying to give the prosecutors an ultimatum

pretty much. smh at people trying to over analyze it.

You're in jail dude, it ain't the Riviera...hence why people try to NOT go to jail.

Twelve days into his three-month jail sentence on a domestic battery count, undefeated champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is asking to go home.

Or he contends he may never fight again.

An emergency motion obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal shows Mayweather's lawyers will ask Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa as early as Tuesday that the former Olympian bronze medal winner be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence on house arrest.

The 35-year-old's physical conditioning is deteriorating under the stress of being jailed at the Clark County Detention Center and he's being held in "inhumane conditions," lawyer Richard Wright said in the motion filed Monday.

The boxer is being segregated from the general population and confined to his cell 23 hours a day in a locked-down section populated by felony defendants, Wright said. And in the hour each day Mayweather is allowed in a recreation area, he is alone and unable to use training facilities.

Wright stated that others who have committed similar misdemeanor offenses are treated differently and Mayweather's celebrity status "cannot be accommodated at the CCDC."

Prosecutors are expected to oppose the motion. Jail officials were not available for comment late Monday.


Mayweather was sentenced to the 90-day jail stint after pleading guilty for beating his ex-girlfriend in front of their children in September 2010. He began serving his sentence June 1. Las Vegas police have maintained that Mayweather would be held in isolation to protect him from other prisoners.

The 35-page motion, which included affidavits from Mayweather's trainer Leonard Ellerbe and personal physician Dr. Robert Voy, stated that if Mayweather remained in jail it would threaten his career. He had planned on fighting for at least two more years, according to the motion.

Voy, through a court order, examined the boxer for 90 minutes on Friday, while jail medical staff observed.

"Medical opinion shows that CCDC administrative segregation threatens to end or shorten Mr. Mayweather's boxing career," the motion stated.

Voy determined Mayweather is consuming less than 800 calories a day. He's eating fruit, bread and energy bars bought at the commissary. Under his normal daily training routine the boxer consumes between 3,000 and 4,000 calories.

Voy also investigated Mayweather's ability to exercise. He found Mayweather has no room to exercise in jail and he is not allowed to use the training areas because he's in isolation.

"After examining Mr. Mayweather, Dr. Voy was concerned with Mr. Mayweather's dehydrated appearance, his lack of muscle tone and his dry mucus membranes," the motion stated.

Dr. Voy also "expressed deep concern for Mr. Mayweather's health and explained that any lengthy period of time with an inappropriate diet, coupled with lack of regular exercise, will most likely lead to irreversible damage to Mr. Mayweather's physique," the motion stated.

"Such damage could and, most likely, would lead to Mr. Mayweather being unable to continue his boxing career," the motion stated.

Dr. Voy was also concerned that Mayweather was withdrawing into depression and developing anger issues that he normally can "dissipate" through his exercise routine.

Wright identified several differences between the way Mayweather is treated versus those in general population. Mayweather is only allowed access to shower, watch TV, use hot water to prepare food, use phones and exercise for an hour a day. Other inmates have access to phones, TV, and can play games with other inmates and are out of their cells "for most of the day."
