Boxer agrees plea deal on domestic violence charges

Floyd Mayweather Jr has been sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to reduced battery domestic violence and harassment charges before a Las Vegas judge. Judge Melissa Saragosa also ordered Mayweather, 34, to complete 100 hours of community service and pay a $2,500 fine. He must report to jail on January 6. The plea deal avoids trial on felony allegations that he hit his ex-girlfriend and threatened two of their children during an argument at her home in September 2010. Mayweather's attorney is considering an appeal. The fighter, who turns 35 in February, was expected to fight again on May 5 in Las Vegas - possible against Manny Pacquiao - although that date must now be in serious doubt.
