Floyd Mayweather Junior Arrested!

Couting his half

Floyd Mayweather Junior has just been arrested in Las Vegas on charges of grand larceny ESPN.com reports. Mayweather allegedly took a number of personal items from his ex-girlfriend Thursday morning but it is unclear what was taken. This is not his first run in with the law and probably won’t be his last. He’s been arrested multiple times on various assault and battery charges.

This guy might be at the end of a coke or meth binge. He’s just been acting much crazier than normal lately. We are used to him bouncing all over the ring and starting feuds with rappers but his racist rant against Pac Man and these new charges are more than we are accustomed to.

50 Cent shared his thoughts on the situation this morning via twitter stating:

She [Floyd’s Ex] has a girlfriend that stays in the guesthouse that floyd is paying for her as child support that is helping fuel the situation…

Floyd said he feels like her girlfriend is using her and pushing her in the wrong direction

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this 50. These tweets really shed a lot of light on the situation.

Floyd Mayweather’s Racist Outbreak

September 3, 2010 1 comment

Floyd Mayweather needs to simmer down a little bit. Maybe the prospect of one of the biggest paydays in boxing history is driving him crazy but the video he posted to his twitter and ustream account was not a good look. Not only did he call the Pac Man out but he also said:

As soon as we come off vacation, we’re going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain’t worried about that. So they ain’t gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don’t want you all to jump on my d—. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. … Once I stomp the midget, I’ll make that mother f—– make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice.

See it for yourself

Pretty Boy Bam Bam

I was browsing youtube the other day and came across this video of Pretty Boy Bam Bam being interviewed by and doing a little demonstration for ESPN. This kid has hands and it sounds like he hits extremely hard for someone his size. I would not want to bump into him on the playground. I think he’d hurt me if I gave him a free shot. It will be interesting to see what becomes of Bam Bam. I can’t imagine that taking shots to the head from age six can be good for your health or mental development. Hopefully he will be able to make a career out of boxing.

Congressman Pacquiao

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao earns his living by hitting other men in the head until they fall down unconscious or he finishes the fight with more points than them. This pugilist specialist is now a congressman in Philippines’ House of Representatives.

“He wants change,” Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, said of Pacquiao before the boxer won the election. “I think it’s genuine. People see that he wants to help his country, and that’s why they’re voting. That’s why they support him.”

Good luck opposing his legislation. Brawls occurring during political sessions is nothing new as the video below shows. We’ve all seen these types of fights before but they don’t normally involve the best fighters in the world. Hopefully this won’t happen in the Philippines anytime soon. I think we all know whose side would win. Check out some political brawls below.

Mike Tyson on Versus

Every once in a while, you stumble across an interview that really makes you scratch your head in amazement. This is one of those moments. Mike Tyson did an interview on Versus called “Tea with Tyson”. It is epic. Check it out and respond in the comments.

I really don’t know where to begin with this one. The whole concept is just incredible, let’s put mike Tyson in a room with this guy that nobody knows and have them serve each other tea and cannolis while discussing the finer points of tea, pastries and re-gifting (it’s ok to pawn but not to re-gift). The setting of the interview is also classic. Check out the black phone in the middle of the first frame of the video. Where the hell are these guys! A motel room, a restaurant, the set of a play, I really can’t figure it out. I thought something weird was gonna start happening when they began speaking in low hushed tones while exchanging heavy eye contact.

There are some pretty classic lines in this clip starting off with Reese’s statement that he doesn’t need any bread and just likes honey. Apparently this makes you a “cool dude” in Iron Mike’s eyes which is good to know. Watch the way Reese looks at him during this moment.

The discussion about cannolis was also pretty funny. Apparently Mike and cannolis have a pretty long standing relationship. The supple pastries are like a curse to Mike Tyson. If you ever find yourself being chased by him just throw some cannolis at him and he’ll start to melt or something.

The greatest part of the interview was when Mike told Reese that he had no idea who he was and started asking everyone in the room if they knew who the dude was. Mike your not the only one. Any readers know about this guy before this piece? Check out the original story from versus.
