      From wikipedia

      Cantona was arrested and convicted for assault, resulting in a two week prison sentence. This was overturned in the appeal court and instead he was sentenced to 120 hours of community service.

      In accordance with the Football Association's wishes, Manchester United suspended Cantona for the remaining four months of the 1994–95 season, which ruled him out of first team action as United were still in the hunt for a second double. He was also fined £20,000.

      The Football Association then increased the ban to eight months (up to and including 30 September 1995) and fined him a further £10,000. The FA Chief Executive Graham Kelly described his attack as "a stain on our game" that brought shame on football. FIFA then confirmed the suspension as worldwide, meaning that Cantona couldn't escape the ban by transferring to a foreign club.[20] Manchester United also fined Cantona two weeks' wages and he was stripped of the French captaincy;[21] his club eventually lost the Premier League title to Blackburn Rovers.

      ---------------------------------
      But IMO the ball boy's actions were far worse - as he was interrupting the game.

        And Hazard's actions were nowhere near as bad as Cantona's. He'll probably get another 1 or 2 matches added to the red card ban but I doubt there'll be any more.
