Interesting feature article from the New York Times on how Floyd Maywather’s payouts are structured:
In his previous four fights, he earned $115 million. How novel is his approach? Just ask him.
“It’s never been done,” said Mayweather, who is 41-0. “Not in entertainment history. Not in sports history. You see that arena Saturday? It’s all Mayweather money. Want a hot dog? Mayweather money. Want a T-shirt? Mayweather money. I need all that.”
Apparently, he even pays his opponent and deducts it as a business expense. Anyway, here’s the link:

Too bad with all that money he can’t buy any class.
For all the shit they gave Ali, he was never this annoying.
I really hope the fight between mayweather and pacquio happens. I really want to see manny shut that dicktards mouth with his fists. That giant ego of mayweathers needs to be popped bad.
I hope Mayweather beats Pacquio and then has sex with the girlfriend of everyone who doubted him right in the middle of the ring.
I bet you were cringing a little when writing that last post.

I don’t doubt him, I just fucking don’t like him and want him to lose. Mayweather is a fucking asshat plain and simple. Sure he’s an asshat that can fight, but he’s still an asshat.
Hand over your girlfriends!

Why?? I can knock someone out when their not looking too. The only thing that fight proves is that both mayweather and Ortiz are doushbags. Of course mayweather is a bigger doush since it takes a giant ass to try and fight an 80 year old announcer over an interview. Oh and it wasnt paquio so fuck off.
