      For a guy who's been in hot water for controversial words before, this seems pretty minor or is it? Too often when Floyd Mayweather speaks it creates major waves.

      Monday afternoon Mayweather tweeted about Jeremy Lin's newfound star status in the NBA.

      Yahoo! Sports' The Postgame wrote that Mayweather "Floyd Mayweather Hits Jeremy Lin On Race." The Wall Street Journal used an AP blurb and tagged it with this "Mayweather trashes Jeremy Lin on Twitter."

      Mayweather got wind of the criticism and fired back.

    • A depressed Amir Khan reacts to the decision in December (Getty)

      A chance to lock himself into a Manny Pacquiao fight and take out a legend wasn't enough to steer Lamont Peterson away from righting what he believes was a wrong.

      Peterson passed on a chance to possibly face Juan Manuel Marquez at Cowboys Stadium during the summer for a Las Vegas rematch against Amir Khan on May 19. The choice is interesting since Bob Arum has mentioned that the winner of the potential Peterson-Marquez fight could've faced Pacquiao in November if he gets by Tim Bradley in June.

      Peterson beat Khan back in December but has dealt with cries from the Khan camp saying the win was less than legitimate. Supposedly judges were compromised by a mysterious character near the ring and Khan also had two late point deductions to give Peterson the split decision victory (110-115, 113-112, 113-112).

    • Mayweatherparties-APSomeone in Las Vegas has a heart or the greater good of the Las Vegas economy won out.

      The beneficiary is boxer Floyd Mayweather, who learned today that his 90-day jail sentence won't start until after June 1.

      Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa reconsidered her original decision to send Mayweather to the Clark County Dentention Center starting today and pushed back his arrival date at the Las Vegas-area jail.

      Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa said she weighed Mayweather's contractual obligations to a fight set for May 5 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas against an as-yet unnamed opponent.

      Mayweather's lawyer Richard Wright had pleaded with the judge to allow Mayweather to fulfill commitments regarding the fight, emphasizing the economic benefit to Las Vegas when Mayweather fights.

      Two weeks ago, Mayweather copped a plea to multiple misdemeanor charges. The prosecutor pushed hard for no leniency and jail time, and the judge agreed.

      Floyd Mayweather Jr. will spend 90 days in jail in a room just like this.

      After being swarmed with requests about Mayweather's jail term, the Las Vegas Police Department released this picture of a similar cell that he will be staying in for the duration of his sentence.

      The boxing star pleaded guilty to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges after a 2010 incident where Mayweather allegedly hit his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris, and threatened two of their children during an argument at her home.

      The 34-year-old Mayweather was also ordered to complete 100 hours of community service and pay a $2,500 fine. The plea deal avoids trial on felony allegations.

      Mayweather will likely serve most of the 90-day sentence, but could serve several weeks less if he gets credit for good behavior, said Officer Bill Cassell, a Las Vegas police spokesman.

      The cell is a far cry from
