The chairman of the HBO cable TV network was arrested on Sunday in Las Vegas and is being accused of assaulting his girlfriend.

Cops say they saw Chris Albrecht engaged in a "physical confrontation" in the valet parking area outside the MGM Grand hotel shortly after 3 a.m. 

That's when they picked him up on suspicion of a misdemeanor battery-domestic assault.

Albrecht was at the venue for HBO's broadcast of the World Boxing Council's super-welterweight championship boxing match, in which Floyd Mayweather, Jr defeated Oscar De La Hoya.

I guess a good boxing match will make you wanna knock a bitch out!
