By Kenneth Brown | Oct 31, 2014 10:23 AM EDT

Manny Pacquiao The Basketball Boxer?

By Kenneth Brown | Oct 22, 2014 10:58 AM EDT

Manny Pacquiao is one of the most confident boxers to ever grace the ring, but has he crossed that line, becoming arrogant? His upcoming opponent, Chris Algieri, believes so.

Floyd Mayweather Has A Betting Addiction?

By Kenneth Brown | Oct 22, 2014 09:16 AM EDT

Some people think baseball is boring, and it seems world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is one of those select few. The betting man bets on everything, but not baseball it'd seem. He's willing to bet anywhere from thousands to $1 million per game in other sports, but reports suggest he has "no interest" in betting on the MLB World Series between the Kansas City Royals and the San Francisco Giants. With the NBA season approaching, perhaps he's saving his pennies for then, or perhaps "Money" Mayweather is focusing on a rumored 2015 spring bout against Amir Khan or Manny Pacquiao. Read More »

Floyd Mayweather Jr. looks set to retire in a year or so, and lately he's done nothing but hint about his plans for the future. It seems boxing promoting, and managing, is certainly top of the list.
