The four-rounder is over for Floyd Mayweather.
Upcoming: a series of ten-rounders that could really put him in the jackpot.
Mayweather?s misdemeanor harassment charge against two homeowner?s association security guards, which was dismissed a couple of days ago, was completely based on the boxer?s status as a celebrity. So says his attorney.
?Any other case would have resolved with an offer of an apology and a handshake,? said Richard Wright.
But was it, at the time?
Mayweather could have offered the handshake right then and there. Instead, what he did was turn into a thug and a bully.
According to an Associated Press story, ?Parking for Mayweather?s 29 cars has been a frequent source of friction in the gated and patrolled community is about 10 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip.?
Yeah, I bet it is.
Mayweather?s home is apparently worth about $9.5 million. His is not the only expensive house in the neighborhood. In other words, he is not the only guy who could claim the nickname ?Money.? So what the hell gives him the right to litter the street with 29 cars? And don?t fellow residents of this exclusive area, who have spent the money to be shielded from such things, have to worry about a bunch of ?homies? who are carrying guns, as he intimated on the night in question?
Those security guards may have overreacted a little, but they are not there to be part of Mayweather?s ?posse.? And you can bet your ass that Mayweather has been a consistent problem in that neighborhood, or else everybody would have been giving him the benefit of the doubt from the beginning. The two security guards Mayweather allegedly threatened ? Miguel Burgos and Aaron Ryan, said they were ?pressured? by their supervisors to pursue charges.
Doesn?t that tell you something about the way people in that area feel about him?
