June 1, 2012, 10:34 a.m., May is narrating his trip to a Las Vegas courthouse.
?I can?t believe this. You got motherfuckers in New York City stab motherfuckers. You talking about a misdemeanor here man. No marks, no bruises.?
Sometimes shit happens,? says Mayweather, who is then shown getting out of an SUV and walking into court to be detained while former confidant 50 Cent walks side by side with the boxer. 50 apparently did not sign a release form as his face is blurred out of the shot intentionally.
The clip made famous by TMZ is shown, this time in HD, as a subdued Mayweather is handcuffed by a bailiff and walked gingerly into the hands of the law.

Mayweather is now riding in a car and breaking down how a person?s mindset grows from ages 18, to 21, to 25 and 30, and how they evolve and get better with age. Flashes of May?s PPV success are flashed across the screen via internet message boards and Twitter.
?I?ve never seen a fighter holding all the cards like Floyd Mayweather does,? says friend and former fighter Hasim Rahman, who throws pleasantries the fighters way while chilling in the May Mansion.
?Everyone says that my life is not normal, but I think it?s normal?, says Money, who goes on to say that he thinks its normal to drive a Bentley and normal to drive a RR, and that he had been dreaming of it since he was a teenager. One thing he also has been doing since then is his famous slogan HWD.

Cousin and corner man Dejuan Blake states that over the years Mayweather has changed a lot and has become a man.
A business owner next to the MBC says he loves having the No. 1 fighter in the world as his business neighbor and that he sees Mayweather giving back to his community. ?Floyd is Vegas,? says the owner.
Scene change to FM embroidered socks and Mayweather chilling out prior to attending a Drake performance at the MGM with his kin in tow. Mayweather enters the building in which he has fought exclusively at since 2007.

Scene setting is Casa De Mayweather, who seeks some early morning quiet time while watching sports on TV and Miss Jackson enters the documentary for the first time.
Miss J speaks on Mayweather?s impending jail stint, stating that at that time, it (the jail time) was on the boxers mind and that she honestly didn?t think he was ready.
?He?ll be in a confined box with someone telling HIM what to do,? which is a stark contrast to what a normal day usually consists of living as one Floyd Mayweather Jr.
She describes her fianc? as a people pleaser and one to entertain a crowd wherever he is.
15 DAYS BEFORE JAIL
Scene change to the ATL, where Mayweather visits station V103 in order to promote a club showing at Diamonds that night, described as ?Black Hollywood? by the P4P king.

Mayweather daughter texts that she has a surprise for him, but father knows best as he has Justin Bieber attend for her birthday celebration. Fathers everywhere take notice: getting J BIEB to attend a bday bash is boss, very boss.
4 DAYS BEFORE JAIL
Mayweather puts in some hard work and dedication, working out solo at a gym before sitting in a Jacuzzi and digging in on his former television suitor, HBO. May apparently dis-liked how the network let commentator Larry Merchant ask him questions he didn?t care for, obviously referencing May?s fight against Victor Ortiz where Ortiz was downed by a one-two from Mayweather while his hands were down. Merchant asked question after question about the knockout before a now infamous exchange ensued between the commentator and the boxer.
What is interesting is that this was not the first time the pair had exchanged words. Following Mayweather?s fight against Carlos Baldomir in 2006, Merchant went in on Mayweather, berating his rather dull bout against Baldomir in which he dominated the Argentine but didn?t step on the pedal to end things in an entertaining manner. A simple visit to YouTube will show you Mayweather/Merchant I. Taking in Mayweather/Merchant I, then looking at Mayweather/Merchant II, one could surmise that Merchant went 2-0 against Mayweather in the ring, a feat that no fighter has even done once while standing in the ring with the undefeated fighter.

?I?m black, I?m rich and I?m outspoken, so walking into the courtroom with those three things, there?s already three things against me,? says May as he steps into a ring in which he will lose as the judge handles the affairs and bailiff?s are instructed to detain the boxer.
?All charges are overly exaggerated, all charges are trumped up,? narrarates FMJ as the scene closes on his making the perp walk.
Back to Casa Del May and the ambiance of the sprawling mansion. Miss J brings up the other famous types who got off without doing significant time and brings up that there were no bruises or marks as proof. ?Show me the proof of what got done, basically,? says the future Mayweather.
P-Reala, the CEO of Mayweather Music is interviewed and he says that based on what he saw (apparently he was present at the time of the alleged assault) he doesn?t see a reason why FMJ was incarcerated.
