LAS VEGAS - Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. was acquitted on Wednesday of charges he threatened to send armed friends to harm two security guards at a gated community in suburban Las Vegas. Mayweather, undefeated in 42 bouts and widely regarded as the best defensive fighter of his generation, was found not guilty by a judge, court records showed. The ruling said prosecutors failed to meet the burden of proof. The boxing star was charged with misdemeanor harassment stemming from accusations a year ago that he threatened the guards by telling them his "homies" had guns and would be called to "take care" of the two men, according to the criminal complaint. There was no comment from the district attorney's office and Mayweather's lawyer did not return a call for comment. Local media reported the encounter happened when the guards issued parking tickets to Mayweather, saying cars in front of his home were parked in violation of community rules. The flamboyant Mayweather, known as "Money," boosted his professional record to a perfect 42-0, including 26 knockouts, with a fourth-round knockout of Victor Ortiz in Las Vegas last month to claim the World Boxing Council welterweight title.
