The plea agreement avoided a trial on felony charges that the undefeated boxer beaten his former girlfriend and threatened two of his children during an argument at his home in September 2010.
Said prosecutor Lisa Luzaich Justice of Peace Melissa Zaragoza May weather has been in trouble before and has not been punished.
"I just continually gets into trouble and is able to get out of it too," he said. "Essentially, it is because he is who he is and can go with everything."
"The only thing that will draw the attention of this man is the imprisonment," the prosecutor said.
May weather stopped at an olive striped waistcoat and showed no reaction when the judge imposed the sentence and told to report to the Clark County jail on Jan. 6.
May weather’s lawyer, Karen Winckler, said she may appeal what she called an unusual phrase.
May weather is likely to serve most of the sentence of 90 days but may serve for several weeks unless you do not receive credit for good behavior, said Officer Bill Cassell, spokesman for police in Las Vegas.
May weather and his manager, Leonard Ellerbe, declined to comment outside the courtroom.
.Winckler had argued that the public would benefit more if May weather takes 100 hours of community service with children.
The judge said he was influenced by the admission of May weather to beat Josie Harris and twisted her arm, and two sons, ages 9 and 10 witnessed the attack.
Zaragoza said May weather police said threatened to kill or Harris "disappear" and that his 10-year-old son ran from the house and jumped out a back door to safety. May weather had cell phones belonging to Harris and the two children, he said.
"The punishment is appropriate," said Zaragoza. "No matter who you are, you have the consequences of their actions they become at this level of violence."
