LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -
Undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather had another fight go his way Friday, when a judge agreed to delay his 90-sentence in a domestic violence case.
The 34-year-old was scheduled to report to the Clark County Detention Center after pleading guilty to an attack on his ex-girlfriend in September 2010.
But Mayweather's attorney successfully argued to delay the sentence until June 1 so it would not interfere with a May 5 bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Mayweather's team argued that the sentence would interrupt the boxer's training schedule, putting the fight in jeopardy and potentially costing the city $100 million in tourism revenue.
The prosecution protested, saying Mayweather should not get special treatment based on his celebrity status.
But Judge Melissa Saragosa granted the defense's request, saying she was unaware of the contract for the May 5 bout.
It's still unknown who Mayweather is scheduled to fight.
Mayweather pleaded guilty last month to a charge of battery domestic violence.
He was ordered to serve 90 days in jail, pay a total of $2,500 in fines, attend 100 hours of community service and a 12-month domestic violence program.
