After all of the times we’ve seen Floyd Mayweather escape punishment in the ring, should we really be surprised that he danced his way out of reporting to jail at the last possible minute?
Though he was scheduled to report today to begin serving his three-month prison sentence for pleading no contest to domestic violence charges, Mayweather was granted until June 1 to report so he could fight on his previously announced date of May 5. Among the reasons given by the Las Vegas judge who made the somewhat surprising decision was the economic impact a Mayweather fight would have on Sin City.
It would have an even bigger effect on the money flow into Vegas’ coffers if said Mayweather fight was against Manny Pacquiao. The bout that everyone wants to see but nearly everyone is getting tired of wondering when it will happen is sure to be to topic of much conversation over the next week or three. Sadly, the people who know best still don’t expect it to happen.
