Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was to begin serving a 90-day jail sentence in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas on Friday. His incarceration is the result of a guilty plea on Dec. 21 to a charge of misdemeanor battery domestic violence and no contest on two counts of harassment of his ex-girlfriend and their two children last year.
His stint in prison will be a life-altering event for sure. While some question whether it will take anything out of Mayweather as far as his ring career is concerned, the real question is whether it will change him as a person.
Mayweather enters jail as an undefeated welterweight champion, the top pound-for-pound boxer in the sport. He will turn 35 years old in February — about midway through his sentence. It is a relatively short sentence and the physical demands probably won't be that taxing. But who knows what the mental toll will be on a proud man like Mayweather, who is used to having anything he wants whenever he wants it.
