Adrempress.com has learned that reigning pound for pound champ Floyd Mayweather will ask Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa as early as Tuesday that the former Olympian bronze medal winner be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence on house arrest.

In a motion filed Monday, Floyd Mayweather's lawyer Richard Wright said that his 35 year old client's physical conditioning is deteriorating.

The boxer is being segregated from the general population and is confined to his cell for 23 hours a day, he is allowed in a recreation area without any training facilities for 1 hour per day.

The 35 page motion also includes affidavits from Mayweather's trainer Leonard Ellerbe and personal physician Dr. Robert Voy.



Excerpts from the motion state:

Mayweather is consuming less than 800 calories a day. He's eating fruit, bread and energy bars bought at the commissary. Under his normal daily training routine the boxer consumes between 3,000 and 4,000 calories.
Mayweather has no room to exercise in jail and he is not allowed to use the training areas because he's in isolation.
It also includes concerns about Mayweather's "dehydrated appearance, his lack of muscle tone and his dry mucus membranes and explained that any lengthy period of time with an inappropriate diet, coupled with lack of regular exercise, will most likely lead to irreversible damage to Mr. Mayweather's physique, such damage could and, most likely, would lead to Mr. Mayweather being unable to continue his boxing career"
Mayweather was withdrawing into depression and developing anger issues that he normally can "dissipate" through his exercise routine.
Inside his cell, Mayweather doesn't have access to hot water to prepare food for himself or clean himself and he was recently told he cannot receive bottled water because he's in isolation.
"Whether Mr. Mayweather will be able to box again is dependent on his continued conditioning, to lose his physique and ability to box because of being placed in administrative segregation is a blow he should not have to take."
Wright said in the motion that Mayweather would be willing to work with jail officials to find "an appropriate location" to serve house arrest if the judge agreed. It's unclear if the appropriate location would be Mayweather's 12,000-square-foot mansion in the ritzy Southern Highlands development that sports a walk-in closet bigger than his jail cell.
There is no indication as to what the outcome of the request will mean for his immediate future if it is indeed granted, nobody from the Mayweather camp was able to be reached for comment. His early release could allow him to prepare for a much sought after mega fight with Manny Paquiao who was recently stripped of his 147 pound title through a controversial loss to Tim Bradley.

He never had a disputed finish. If he retires, it's on the Rocky Marciano level.

The Castillo decision was disputed by some. I thought Floyd won but it was considered to be a controversial decision at the time it happened.

This. But I think it was mainly bc we have never seen Floyd get hit that much.
