MAYWEATHER RELEASED

Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been
released from a Las Vegas detention center after
serving two months of a three-month sentence for a
domestic violence conviction, a detention center
official said early Friday.
Video from CNN affiliate KVVU showed Mayweather
leaving the facility.
The official from the Clark County Detention Center
said Mayweather was no longer in custody. No
explanation of why Mayweather was released before
the end of his sentence was given.
The undefeated boxer was convicted last year after
the police said he punched the mother of his children
at his home.
The high-profile athlete was to be kept in isolation
from the facility's 3,000 other inmates, the police
said when he was booked into the detention center in
June.
"He will receive one hour free time per day by
himself," the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department said in a news release at the time.
Mayweather had been set to go to jail earlier in the
year, but a Nevada judge pushed back his reporting
date so that the boxer could compete last month
against WBA super-welterweight champion Miguel
Cotto.
Mayweather, whose nickname is "Money," won a
unanimous decision in the Las Vegas fight, which
paid him $32 million.
