Money Mayweather's felony hearing postponed!

Representatives of former pound for pound champion Floyd Mayweather were in court for the second time this week earlier today, this time regarding the evidence hearing for his domestic abuse case, and for a third time the hearing was pushed back.

The preliminary hearing was initially scheduled for January and later March, and with the latest postponement is now set to take place on July 29th.
The case, which carries a maximum sentence of 34 years in prison all told, dates back to September of last year when Mayweather had a late night altercation with former girlfriend Josie Harris.

During the incident he allegedly assaulted her, threatened his children and stole a cell phone, leading to felony and misdemeanor charges including domestic abuse, grand larceny, coercion and robbery.

Mayweather is also facing a separate charge of misdemeanor battery over a later altercation with a security guard working for the homeowners association of the Las Vegas community where he lives. During this incident Mayweather allegedly poked the security guard in the face after a heated discussion over parking tickets.
