On Monday, the legal team of Floyd Mayweather filed an emergency motion requesting that the court either put him under house arrest or move him into the general jail population. After only 10 days behind bars, Mayweather's personal physician, Dr. Robert Voy, has determined, following a visit with the boxer last Friday, that Money is getting out of shape while in solitary confinement. Dr. Voy estimated that Mayweather is currently consuming "fewer than 800 calories a day instead of his usual 3,000 or 4,000 calories" and he hasn't been "drinking enough because he wasn't allowed bottled water and doesn't enjoy tap water."
Late Wednesday, Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa denied Mayweather's request and wrote in her decision that "water has been made available to Mayweather around the clock and the only reason he isn't eating properly is because he refuses to eat the provided meals." She added, "While the physical training areas and times provided to (Mayweather) may not be consistent with his prior regimen, he is indeed provided sufficient space and time for physical activity if he so chooses."
Guess it's back to the drawing board for Money's team. But until then, it's going be a long, difficult three months for Mayweather.
