HBO exec Albrecht arrested in dispute after title bout
HBO chairman and chief executive Chris Albrecht was arrested early Sunday on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend outside the MGM Grand after a boxing match aired by his company, authorities said.
Albrecht was in Las Vegas for Saturday night’s fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr., held at the MGM Grand Garden and broadcast on pay-per-view by HBO.
Officers assigned to the bout reported seeing Albrecht fighting with a woman identified only as his girlfriend in the MGM Grand’s valet parking lot shortly after 3 a.m., said Las Vegas Police spokesman Officer Bill Cassell.
