Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is being hit with three more felony and four misdemeanor charges in a domestic violence case that already had him facing a felony theft charge. An eight-count criminal complaint filed in Las Vegas accuses Mayweather of hitting his ex-girlfriend, threatening their children and taking cell phones during an argument at the woman's home a week ago. If convicted on all chargers, the 33-year-old Mayweather could face 34 years in jail. He's due for arraignment Nov. 9 in a Las Vegas court.
