US boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr has been jailed for 90 days by a Las Vegas court after pleading guilty to assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris, in 2010.<\/p>\n
He was also ordered to pay a fine of $2,500 (\u00a31,600) and complete 100 hours of community service.<\/p>\n
Mayweather, 34, agreed to a plea deal, meaning he will not have to answer felony charges of beating Ms Harris and threatening two of their children.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors said Mayweather’s history meant jail time was appropriate.<\/p>\n
“He just continually gets himself into trouble and he is able to get himself out of it as well,” Prosecutor Lisa Luzaich told Judge Melissa Saragosa.<\/p>\n
“Essentially it is because he is who he is and is able to get away with everything. The only thing that’s going to get this man’s attention is incarceration.”<\/p>\n
