Less than a month after the fight, on June 1, Mayweather surrendered in a courtroom to begin a jail sentence at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas for a hair-pulling, arm-twisting attack on his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris, in September 2010 while two of their children watched. Mayweather pleaded guilty in December 2011 to reduced domestic battery charges. The plea deal allowed him to avoid trial on felony charges that could have gotten him up to 34 years in prison if he was convicted. He was released on August 3. Mayweather received about 30 days off his 90-day jail sentence for work time and good behavior.
