#BBB NEWS| T.I. Rips Floyd Mayweather For “All Lives Matter” Comments [VIDEO]

It seems like everyone has their thoughts on the Black Lives/All Lives Matter movements, and those who are not too keen on the latter of the two have no problem calling its supporters out. Take T.I. ripping Floyd Mayweather on Instagram, for instance.

The boxing champion proclaimed that “all lives matter” in a video interview, and well, T.I. was really, really not having it.

“A lot of times, we get stuck, and we are followers,” he said. “When you hear one person say, ‘black lives matter,’ or ‘blue lives matter’- all lives matter.”

T.I. let the athlete have it in a lengthy post on the social media app.

“Yo, @floydmayweather all our past personal differences & opinions of each other aside…. This is socially irresponsible,inconsiderate,& insensitive,” he wrote. “It mirrors delusional oblivion in a way only brainwashing tactics can achieve. This completely undermines & discredits the movements that fight for the plights of our people.” He then adds that Mayweather shouldn’t lose sight of what is truly important in life in exchange for success and fame, because what he truly is, is a leader.

#BBB NEWS| Is Floyd Mayweather Coming Out Of Retirement?

Don’t call it a comeback. Floyd Mayweather hung up his boxing gloves in 2015 after 49 professional matches, but the champion may be considering entering the ring again.

During a professional match on April 30, Mayweather talked to Showtime and revealed that he’s considering coming out of retirement.

The real reason behind the potential return is the payday, he said. “As of right now, some crazy numbers have been thrown my way–upwards, of course, of nine figures,” he told Showtime, “but I’m truly blessed beyond belief, and I really don’t know what we’re going to do.”

After the boxer defeated Andre Berto in September 2015, he told news sources that would be his final fight. And he insisted that he would remain retired despite many fans’ cries for him to recant his decision. But it looks like he spoke a little too fast.

#BBB NEWS| Floyd Mayweather Speaks On Racism In Boxing

Racism is still alive and well and according to Floyd Mayweather, very obvious in boxing. In a recent interview with Fight Hype, the retired champion discussed The Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound rankings which saw Andre Ward placed at number 4, a standing Mayweather considers unfair because Ward has yet to lose a fight.

“I can’t believe they [Ring Magazine] got Andre Ward ranked number four in the pound-for-pound list,” he said. “Even though the guy that’s ranked number one pound-for-pound right now, you know, you can’t argue about that, but without Andre Ward losing a fight, he has to be number two.”

Holding the top spot instead is Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez, an undefeated Nicaraguan fighter who, out of 44 fights has won 38 by knockout.

#BBB NEWS| Boxing: Floyd Mayweather Shows Off His Huge Collection of Title Belts [PHOTOS]

Floyd Mayweather has reiterated that he will remain retired and the undefeated boxer has a lot to show for his 19-year career. 

He took to his Instagram account and showed off the many title belts he’s won during the course of his career.

People remain skeptical of his retirement given he went out with a lackluster fight against Andre Berto. There’s questions as to whether or not a major money fight could coax him out of retirement. 

If it did, it would give him the chance to go out 50-0 and reel in one more big pay day (not that he needs it). See photo below..

#BBB NEWS| Boxing Report: Floyd Mayweather To Fight Andre Berto In September on CBS [PHOTOS]

Undefeated welterweight world champion Floyd Mayweather is set to fight fellow welterweight Andre Berto on Sept. 12, reports Michael Woods of the Sweet Science. No confirmation has been made from the Mayweather or Berto camps.

According to the report, the fight will be televised on CBS, with Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) slated to take home his usual purse, which will be around $30-35 million.

The fight will be marketed as a “give back” to fans who were less than thrilled over paying upwards of $99 to see Mayweather’s fight against Manny Pacquiao via pay-per-view.

Mayweather’s reported bout against Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) is the last in his lucrative six-fight deal with Showtime/CBS that he signed in 2013. He has won each of previous five bouts by decision.

#BBB NEWS| Boxing: Floyd Mayweather Drops $100K To Customize His Jeep Wrangler [PHOTOS]

Another day, another fancy whip for Floyd Mayweather. This time the luxury gearhead is going off-road, dropping some serious cash to upgrade an ordinary Jeep into a Money-worthy stunt mobile.

This is definitely not like the other jeeps you will see on the road, not even close. TMZ Sports spoke with Alex Vega — the customizing guru down at The Auto Firm in Miami — and he tells us Mayweather dipped into his deep pockets and pulled out $100k to transform his 2015 Jeep Wrangler.

We’re told Floyd wanted every inch of the ride customized … so he added a new front hood, Avorza 35 inch wheels, new bumpers, and red LED base lights to make the streets glow red when he cruises.

He wasn’t done there though … ’cause the guys at The Auto Firm went all futuristic on the Jeep adding a super slick iPad integration system which controls everything inside of the vehicle. See photos below...

#BBB NEWS| Floyd Mayweather Stripped Of The Title He Won Against Manny Pacquiao

The World Boxing Organization announced due to Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather’s inability to pay a $200,000 sanctioning fee to the WBO by Friday and renounce other belts he’s won, he was stripped of his welterweight title.

    “The WBO World Championship Committee is allowed no other alternative but to cease to recognize Mr. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. as the WBO Welterweight Champion of the World and vacate his title, for failing to comply with our WBO Regulations of World Championship Contests,” the organization said in a statement.

After winning the title against Manny Pacquiao back in May, the 38 year old said “I’m world champion at two different weight classes right now. … It’s time to let other fighters fight for the belt,” which is an issue the WBO had. According the organization’s rules, a fighter cannot hold titles in different weight classes in different organizations.

#BBB NEWS| Sports: Floyd Mayweather Made More in 36 Minutes Than LeBron James in His NBA Career! [PHOTO]

The fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao netted about $600 million, making it the most lucrative fight in boxing history. 

The bout made the two boxers record breaking amounts of money but Pacquiao’s net take will be significantly reduced after paying off his promoter, Bob Arum and Top Rank, a fee that Mayweather doesn’t have since he owns his own company.

So how much did Mayweather make?  Enough to eclipse the careers of NBA legends in the making.

    Floyd Mayweather will earn almost as much for 36 minutes in the ring in May as Tim Duncan has made in his 18-year career with the San Antonio Spurs ($235 million).

#BBB NEWS| 50 Cent Blames Floyd Mayweather For Failure Of SMS Boxing Promotions [TWEET]

Last month, 50 Cent’s boxing promotion company SMS filed for bankruptcy, citing debts of around $500,000.

In new legal filings, the debt is described more in the range of $2,000,000. The papers also blame the company’s failings on Floyd Mayweather.

Apparently, the project was conceived as a joint venture called “The Money Team” between 50 and his then (and now again) buddy Mayweather.

However, the boxing champ got locked up on domestic abuse charges right before the company’s launch, and 50 says he had no choice but to move on without him.
