Floyd Mayweather has decided to turn down a $20 million dollar payday & cancel his Sept. 20th battle with Oscar De La Hoya and immediately retire. According to Floyd, he no longer has the passion to continue fighting and would rather call it a career. We all know how much Floyd loves money, so it probably took a lot for him to turn his back on this rematch.
“This decision was not an easy one for me to make, as boxing is all I have done since I was a child,” said Mayweather, the son and nephew of three of the sport’s top trainers. “However, these past few years have been extremely difficult for me to find the desire and joy to continue in the sport.”
However….. Floyd’s ego is bigger than his brain. My prediction is, the first fighter to publicly come out and call Floyd a pussy will be rewarded with a fight. Mark my words.. Hopefully it’s Miguel Cotto next year.
People have been questioning why Evander Holyfield is still boxing when he’s 183 years old for a while now, and we finally have an answer. He’s BROKE!
According to Atlanta television station WGCL, Holyfield’s home is in foreclosure and will be auctioned off next month. The good news is the house is valued at about $10 million dollars, the bad news is who knows how much debt he’s in. The bad luck doesnt end there folks…
In addition to his estate, more trouble is in store for the prized fighter as Toi Irvin, the mother of one of Holyfield’s nine children, has gone public and announced that he has missed two child-support payments.
According to her, Holyfield’s reps said for her not to expect the payments for May and June, totaling $6,000.”
Pound for Pound, i think professional boxers are the worst money managers in all of sports. Evander Holyfield has been in some of the biggest heavyweight fights in history, and it appears he’ll have nothing to show for it when it’s all said and done. I was never much of a Holyfield fan but this really saddens me. I’d be pissed if my dad was a hall of fame boxer and I’m still eating fried bologna sandwiches for dinner.
Floyd Mayweather was recently ranked #4 in the top 50 money earners in sports for the last 12 months. Hopefully he’s ushering in a new era of business minded fighters.
The NBA has announced that they will begin issuing fines to players who flop next season.
What kind of world are we living in when a 7 foot giant can’t viciously hurl himself to the floor after being lightly brushed by an opponent? Is there no justice left in this country?
NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson confirmed the new policy Wednesday night saying: “What was clearly expressed to the committee is that we would begin imposing fines next season for the most egregious type of flops. When players are taking a dive, for lack of a better term.”
Because a precise penalty system has not yet been structured, it is not yet known whether serial floppers will be subject to possible suspensions after a certain number of fines for flopping
I love the term “serial floppers”…. theres a really inappropriate joke I can make right now, but imma let it ride…
This rule is horrible by the way, flopping is an artform and it’s been a part of the game for years. Why change it now?
The latest scandal out of Atlanta is Floyd Mayweather throwing out fake $100 dollar bills in a nightclub. This CANNOT happen. If a man bases his entire existence on how much money he has, it’s incredibly damaging if he’s carrying around stacks of fake cheddar. Someone in the crowd who snatched one of the 100 dollar bills tried to use it to buy something and was nearly arrested.
My photographer Freddy O was almost arrested at a gas station this morning after trying to pay for gas with one of the counterfeit $100 bills that boxer Floyd Mayweather tossed in the air at Club PURE last night.
According to Fred (and several others in attendance) Mayweather’s “boys” were handing him the stacks of hundreds.
There is speculation that one of his “boys” switched out the real hundreds for the counterfeit hundreds and kept the real cash for himself. I would be inclined to believe that maybe Floyd didn’t know what his boys were doing, except that this has happened before!
Some club patrons in Las Vegas also complained about Mayweather tossing counterfeit bills earlier this year. We’re not talking fake bills of the copy machine variety - we’re talking print shop quality counterfeit bills.
This is almost like finding out Barry Bonds didn’t hit all those home runs on natural strength alone….. oh wait….
Let’s take a boxer with the personality of a dead rock, a rapper in need of a check, and an unknown piece of T&A and give them a internet-only TV show. Sound like a good idea?
I don’t know whats more painful, watching one of Winky Wright’s horribly boring fights, or watching Winky Wright’s D-level acting. For the life of me I can’t think of any reason to watch this aside from the slores.
“This is a true to life story of a man with fame & fortunate struggling to fight temptations of money, women and being a celebrity. The premiere season finds Winky Wright, a 35–year old multi–millionaire, at a turning point in his life. He´s ready to give-up the life in the fast lane – but doesn´t know how to quit! Winky tries to get rid of one bad habit a day, starting with: gambling, wild partying and sexual acts with loose women. Throughout his conquest, Winky meets an ensemble of entertaining characters to support, entice or just hangout at Winky´s Spot.”
Think “Entourage” meets “The Players Club” and
Miami meets Las Vegas and you´re at Winky´s Spot!
