Floyd Mayweather charges upgraded: Threatened to "beat the ass" of sons

As I predicted, additional criminal charges have been brought in an amended complaint/information filed Thursday morning by the Clark County DA's office against undefeated boxer Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather's first court date remains Nov. 9 or four days before Manny Pacquiao fights Antonio Margarito in Texas.

In addition to the grand larceny initial charge involving the forcible taking of a cell phone belonging to Baby Mama Josie Harris, the 33 year old Las Vegas resident's early morning invasion of the house where she and their three children live has engendered other felony and misdemeanor charges.

The most shocking allegation, which comes under the coercion heading, is that an angry Mayweather, supposedly upset because a) Harris is dating an NBA player named CJ Watson and/or b) the house was not kept in pristine condition, threatened to "beat the ass" of his own sons, Koraun and Zion.

Mayweather is represented on this case by high profile, high priced defense attorney Richard Wright. Wright has represented ex-Governor Jim Gibbons and other boldfaced names.

Mayweather is now charged with misdemeanor "battery domestic violence" charges for allegedly punching and otherwise hitting Harris, whose age has been given as 31 and 32.

According to her complaint to police, Harris told Mayweather she was having sexual relations with Watson, a Las Vegan formerly with Golden State and now with the Chicago Bulls.

His father, Charles Watson, flatly denied any such relationship to celebrity gossip site, TMZ.

The plot thickens against the embattled Mayweather.

Meanwhile, uncle and trainer Roger "Black Mamba" Mayweather faces an Oct. 25 assault trial in Vegas for allged assault on female boxer Melissa "Guard Your Grill" St. Vil.

And "known associate" Ocie Harris has his attempted murder trial, related to shots fired outside a Las Vegas roller skating rink, in February of next year.

The Mayweather boxing calendar is empty but the trial calendar is jampacked.
