Las Vegas Review Journal doesn't want their articles copied but you can go to their website to read. LVRJ.com. Mayweather is saying if he isn't transferred to house arrest the 90 day jail term will end his boxing career. He isn't getting enough calories and he is in segregation for his own protection. What a crybaby. He should have thought twice when he hit his girlfriend. He should learn how to do time like Iron Mike who was held in the harshest conditions.
last I knew...
you aren't supposed to enjoy jail/ prison, it ain't meant to be Club Med. I believe any USA prison would provide you with enough calories ( 2000 ?) to survive....being in a US prison would be way way better than trying to exist in the motherland ( Africa).
A pro boxer needing protection is laughable. This is a guy that could probably take out a whole bar-room full of people by himself.
90 days isn't exactly "hard time"....you know you are getting out soon !

I'm sure people in other countries would gladly come here for the Opportunity to live in a US prison and gladly work to boot !
An undefeated boxer needs protection in jail ( not even prison) ? There probably aren't 100 men on the planet that could beat him in a fistfight. I include heavyweight boxers, MMA, etc.

Fistfight, I disagree to some extent. There are crazy fuckers who will bite, pop your eye out among other things. Also, you take him down (which should not be hard to do, considering boxers are not known for their takedown defense) and know what you are doing, its over for him any many many boxers.
What was so hard about copying and pasting this?
Undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. will have to serve the time for his crime at the county jail.
Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa late Wednesday denied the boxer's emergency motion seeking house arrest after finding the request did not meet the criteria for modifying a sentence. Under the law, such changes can be made to correct an illegal sentence or modify one that was based on an untrue assumption or mistake of fact.
She dismissed claims made by Mayweather's attorneys that the boxer is experiencing physical deterioration caused by "inhumane" conditions at the Clark County Detention Center. Attorneys for the boxer, who is serving a three-month sentence for domestic battery, contend Mayweather is dehydrated, losing weight and unable to continue physical training.
"The Court finds the alleged dehydration of the Defendant to be self-induced as water is made available to him twenty-four hours a day," Saragosa wrote. "The Court further finds the estimated intake of only 800 calories per day is also self-induced as Defendant chooses not to eat the food provided."
As to the boxer's exercise options while in jail, Saragosa wrote: "The court finds that while the physical training areas and times provided to the Defendant may not be consistent with his prior regimen, he is indeed provided sufficient space and time for physical activity if he so chooses."
Prosecutors declined to comment on the ruling.
Mayweather defense attorney Richard Wright did not immediately return a call requesting comment.
Saragosa's decision left the door open to further legal action from Mayweather: "To the extent that Defendant's motion suggests a civil rights violation or potential challenge to the conditions of his confinement, the Court finds such issues are outside of the jurisdiction of the Justice Court."
Saragosa heard arguments Tuesday on the emergency motion filed by Mayweather's lawyers, who wanted him to complete his sentence on house arrest. Mayweather had served 12 days of his sentence at the time the motion was filed.
The boxer pleaded guilty in December to domestic battery and no contest to two counts of harassment, all misdemeanors, for assaulting the mother of three of his children and threatening his two sons.
Wright argued the boxer is being treated differently because Las Vegas police have isolated him because of his celebrity status. Wright proposed several sentence modifications, which included full-term house arrest or serving three days a week in the jail and the remainder on house arrest.
Mayweather lives in a 12,000-square-foot mansion in the ritzy Southern Highlands development, which sports a walk-in closet bigger than his jail cell.
"I'm not looking for special treatment for Floyd Mayweather. I'm looking for fair treatment," Wright said.
The Las Vegas *************** first reported Monday that Mayweather filed the motion because he was being treated differently than other detention center inmates charged with similar misdemeanor offenses. Mayweather is segregated from the general population and confined to his cell 23 hours a day in a locked-down section populated by felony defendants.
The 35-page motion, which included an affidavit from Mayweather's personal physician, Dr. Robert Voy, said that if Mayweather remained in jail, it would threaten his career. The boxer had planned on fighting for at least two more years, according to the motion.
Voy, through a court order, examined Mayweather for 90 minutes on Friday while jail medical staff observed. He determined Mayweather is consuming less than 800 calories a day. He is eating fruit, bread and energy bars bought at the jail commissary. Under his normal daily training routine the boxer consumes between 3,000 to 4,000 calories.
"The propriety of the sentence is unaffected by the issues raised with respect to the conditions of confinement," Saragosa wrote in Wednesday's ruling.
She pointed out that Mayweather had asked for residential confinement instead of jail during sentencing arguments, but that the Court found a jail sentence "appropriate" because of factors such as the seriousness of the crime.
On June 1, Saragosa commended the boxer for his progress toward completing his court-ordered counseling and community service.
Mayweather was on the way to completing other portions of his probation when he began serving the jail sentence.
He finished 21 of the 54 counseling sessions, including one on May 5, the day of Mayweather's last fight, a unanimous decision over Miguel Cotto that ran his record to 43-0. He was guaranteed $32 million for the fight.
Mayweather also completed 45 hours of community service with three local charities: Habitat for Humanity, Three Square food bank and the Las Vegas Rescue Mission.
In recent months, Mayweather has embarked on a goodwill campaign.
In addition to his required community service, Mayweather has donated more than $100,000 to charities, including the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation and Habitat for Humanity.
Mayweather's scheduled release date is Aug. 3, according to jail records.

I thought the part where his attorney ask for fair treatment...LOL....I've always understood Prison wasn't fair but he made the choices that got him there guess he forgot about that part. Hey Floyd was it fair when you were slapping your woman around? I applaud this Judge for showing this punk that she doesn't give a f$#K who he is and his money can't buy his ass out of this.
He wouldn't even make it past receiving.
