Mayweather On Rousey: Don't Know Who "He" Is...

((HT: David Greisman/BoxingScene.com))

The video shot below by Greisman is one of two things:

Either Mayweather is completely oblivious to everything outside his own sphere of influence or,
He's just poking the bear knowing that Ronda Rousey really wants to take on the boxer- since Dana White thinks that Rousey can put a hurt on him...

Decide for yourself...


What say you...??? Work or ignorance...???

"Money" Floyd Mayweather Barely Wins by Spare Change

If you stayed up late and paid the hefty PPV price to watch Floyd "Money" Mayweather fight Marcos Rene Maidana, you probably got good "Punch" per dollar value.

That's because the fight went the distance, with Mayweather getting the majority decision win.

Mayweather, called by many, one of boxings all-time greats, continued his undefeated string as a pro, his last loss coming in the '96 Olympics.

The scores, 117-111, 116-112 and one judge scoring it 114-114, meaning Mayweather got the decision. But those scores should tell you a lot. This was close.

Mayweather pocketed $32 million for the fight and unifies the the WBC and WBA Welterweight titles.

Here's a YouTube video of the fight, which hopefully will not get pulled--

Floyd Mayweather is a free man

And the world is a greater place now because of it. (sarcasm)

Boxer Floyd Mayweather was released from the Clark County (Las Vegas) Detention Center early Friday morning. He's been taking up residence there since June 1st. And he became a jailbird after pleading guilty to domestic battery charges.

But he got a plea deal. That deal reduced the charges and limited the amount of time he had to spend in jail. He spent a total of 60-days of the 90 he was sentenced to in prison.

And as an added bonus, Mayweather has to reapply for a boxing license so he can again bring in the millions that somehow, big name boxers such as he bring in.

Of course the immediate question by the inquisitive scribes documenting his release were not about his time in jail and not about whether or not he was sorry for what he did. Nor were they about whether or not he learned anything in jail.

Rather they were all about "Where's the next fight?"

But he answered none of those questions. He just walked out, got into a car and left the premises.

Mayweather decks Ortiz, clean or not?

Mayweather vs. Ortiz
((ht: usatoday))

This question may be debated for awhile, particularly if you are a fan of either boxer.

Let's set the scene:

4th Round of Saturday nights big boxing showdown, Floyd Mayweather versus Victor Ortiz for the WBC Welterweight championship. Late in the 4th round, Ortiz is pummeling Mayweather on the ropes and for some unknown reason head-butts him. Ortiz tries to apologize while being penalized a point for the head-butt. Ortiz steps away and tries to apologize again, when Mayweather clocks him.

The move enraged the crowd at the MGM Grand Hotel, and replays showed Ortiz wasn't looking at Mayweather when he got hit.

The question is...was it clean? It's somewhat hard to tell and may be a question for a long time. Ortiz, should have known, that while the fight is still going, don't turn away from your adversary. Ever. And yet he did. And while Mayweather may or may not have taken advantage of a questionable period of time, it doesn't appear he did anything illegal.

We might also mention after the fight, Mayweather let loose a profanity filled tirade against HBO Boxing Analyst Larry Merchant. We won't go into too much detail there other than to say, Floyd has a few image problems and that probably won't help them.

Mayweather pocketed a cool $25 million for the fight and we suspect the fight will help rejuvenate his career which had stalled a bit due to several legal issues.

It also, in our opinion will help marginalize boxing, a once proud sport that has support in some circles and still manages to pull of big payday's somehow for it's fighters. It has appeal in certain circles and it works. But when push comes to shove, is it any different these days than professional wrestling?
