Mendoza: Bye again to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight

GOOD for him.

I have nothing against Floyd Mayweather Jr. Nothing personal, I mean.

Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.

I want him punished for his sins against man, indiscretions against society, so that others may learn from his example. That’s all right, I guess?

The 90 days-in-jail for Mayweather wasn’t an ideal sentence for the crimes he had committed against his ex-girl friend and their two children.

But I’ll take it – for today, that is.

It is my fervent prayer that he be punished more in the name of decency and justice.

Hitting his former love with a fist that is licensed to maim a foe in the ring but not off it is not only a palpable violation of his contract with the law but, more grotesquely, it is an act so dastard that it essentially becomes a crime against humanity.

But that has been Mayweather for you all this time.

Did he not knock out a defenseless Victor Ortiz with two illegal shots that became legal only because the referee had ruled it so?

Aside from punching his wife, he also threatened his own two kids with harm – the eldest of the duo was only 11!

Only a beast can do such thing.

Next, he stole the cell phone owned by one of his own sons!

Only a nut case, a sick man, is capable of doing that.

Reportedly, Mayweather will begin serving his jail term on January 6, expiring in early April.

The light sentence came only after Mayweather pleaded guilty to a reduced domestic violence misdemeanor charge in the Clark County courthouse in Nevada.

Had he not done that, he could have been slapped 34 years in the slam.

Thus, on that note, there’s still some sanity left in the wacko.

But then, how about this?

Before the 90-day jail term came, Mayweather, in his usual showboating stance, reserved the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for a May 5 fight against “the little man” from Asia, aka Manny Pacquiao.

Anybody still believing that fight will push through is also a certified nut case.

But not Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s ever wily American promoter.

This early, Arum is positioning unbeaten jr. welterweight world champion Timothy Bradley against Pacquiao in June 2012.

Certainly, expect foul weather for Mayweather to last indefinitely.

Good for him.
