Police looking for Mayweather Jr

What is it with this guy? He is a multi-talented Boxer earning millions and yet he still gets into trouble all the time.

18/12/04 An arrest warrant was issued for two-time world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. after he failed to attend his trial for kicking a bouncer at a bar.

The 27-year-old boxer was scheduled to be in court for a misdemeanor assault and battery charge. When he didn't show up, a bench warrant was issued, a court clerk said Friday.

If convicted, Mayweather could be sentenced to up to 93 days in jail.

William Morris, a part-time bouncer at The Radio Tavern, told police he was knocked to the floor of the bar on Dec. 18, 2003, and someone broke a bottle over his head.

While he was down, Mayweather kicked him, Morris said.

In June, Mayweather was convicted of misdemeanor battery stemming from a fight in August 2003 with two women inside a Las Vegas nightclub. Mayweather grew up in Grand Rapids but now lives and trains in Las Vegas.

Yeah, remember he has some previous for battering his bird or something. Seems a bit of an arsehole, really. What a fighter, though.

The question is whether trouble follows him, or does he go looking for it? Given his track record, it would seem to be the latter. I mean, why miss your trial? It just makes him seem as if he thinks he's above the law. It's a real shame that one of the most talented fighters to come along recently is developing such a bad reputation.

He was in Las Vegas last week. Got into a huge punch-up at the House of Blues bar in the Mandalay Bay Hotel on the Wednesday before the Klitschko V Williams fight.

It's looking like Floyds role model is Mike Tyson.l

If he isn't careful he is going to wreck his career just as it seems he is hitting his prime.
