Boxer Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr (41-0) is receiving additional charges from the Clark County District Attorney's (DA) office in Las Vegas, Nevada in connection with last week's domestic violence incident with Josie Harris, mother of Mayweather's children.
The troubled boxer now faces seven charges including three felony counts of grand larceny, robbery, and coercion. Additionally, four misdemeanors include battery and three counts of harrasment, according to the local DA. If convicted on all charges, Mayweather faces up to 28 years in Nevada prison.
Mayweather allegedly threatened to kill both Josie Harris and her supposed boyfriend, Chicago Bulls guard C.J. Watson. (Watson denies the relationship.) The boxer also faces charges that he threatened his sons not to call the police and not to leave the boxer's Las Vegas mansion, where the incident took place.
Harris, who alleges that the boxer took her iPhone, was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries.
The previous week, Mayweather made a racist and homophobic online video aimed at his rival, Filipino boxer Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao (51-3-2). Filipino-American groups around the United States and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) condemned the American boxer's tirade.
Earlier this week, Mayweather's fiance, Shantel Jackson, announced on her Twitter account that the couple will be wed sometime in January 2011.
