Floyd Mayweather Jr has been handed a 90-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to several reduced charges in Nevada, and will also have to pay a small fine ($2,500) and complete 100 hours of community service.

Mayweather's lawyer is considering an appeal:

Mayweather's lawyer, Karen Winckler, said she may appeal what she called an unusual sentence.

Mayweather would likely serve most of the 90-day sentence, but could serve several weeks less if he gets credit for good behavior, said Officer Bill Cassell, a Las Vegas police spokesman.

... Winckler had argued that the public would benefit more if Mayweather performs 100 hours of community service with children.

Floyd gets off pretty easy all in all, which was expected. His surrender date is January 6. There is some discussion about whether or not that has an impact on his return date of May 5, but so far there's been nothing said about that. Right now I'm sure he's got other things on his mind.
