The charges have resulted in Mayweather being from barred from contacting Harris. In addition, the boxing champion had to request permission from family court to see his children again.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Mayweather criticized the media when leaving the courtroom. He accused them of not offering the same extensive coverage to his community work through the Floyd Mayweather Jr Foundation

On March 10, Mayweather will still face up to 34 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
