Boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has to pay almost $6K to a New York management company for allegedly stealing an artist from them for his label.
Just For You Entertainment is suing him for “surreptitiously signing” Freck Billionaire, nee Jeffrey Whithers, to his Philthy Rich Records in 2008. They say they signed Freck in 2005 and they wanted about $750K in damages. A federal judge ruled in their favor but only for a fraction of the expenses.
Judge Castle told the courtroom: “The problem with this case is a lack of probative evidence. It appears no records were kept for many items where damages were claimed.”

I’m sure Floyd wipes his ass with $6K but he better be glad they weren’t awarded the full amount. Money, especially for boxers doesn’t seem to hang around for very long.

So I went over Mini D’s last night to catch the Mayweather vs. Mosley fight. And I must say that the crew over there seemed to be the only folks in the world (myself included) that were rootin’ for poor old Sugar Shane. I would have paid money to see him floor baste Floyd. But alas, after two exhilarating rounds, the rest of the fight was down hill for Mosley.
“I wanted to give the fans what they wanted to see, a toe-to-toe battle,” Mayweather said.
“It wasn’t the same style for me but I wanted to be aggressive and I knew I could do it.”
“I think we could have pressed the attack a lot earlier, and then we could have got the knockout,” Mayweather said.
“You can’t wait for one big shot, you’ve got to wake up,” Mosley’s trainer told him after the seventh round.
At the end of the day Floyd held and remained undefeated. He’s getting$22.5 with more to come in once all the pay-per-view bucks are added up. Mosley gets paid too, he was guaranteed $7 million as well as a share in the television revenues. Source
What are your thoughts? Is Floyd genius or coonin’? Will he stand the test of time or fizzle out and end up broke? Anyone else wonder what his leather/chinchilla shorts smelled like after 12 rounds of sweating?

TMZ is exclusively reporting that a fight went down between Floyd Mayweather and Rick Ross at Vanity nightclub in the Hard Rock Hotel. One bumped into the other and their entourages became immediately “confrontational.”
When things got hot, Diddy, who was partying there, stepped in to stop an altercation. Source
Seems to me like the both of them have more important issues they need to be handling besides fighting with each other.

Manny Pacquiao has been trash talking as of late. Here’s what he has to say about Floyd Mayweather and his camp:
“Enough is enough. These people, Mayweather Sr., [Mayweather] Jr. and Golden Boy Promotions, think it is a joke and a right to accuse someone wrongly of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. I have tried to just brush it off as a mere prefight ploy, but I think they have gone overboard.”Floyd Mayweather Sr., the fighter’s father, has repeatedly accused Pacquiao of taking illegal substances and points to his rising through weight divisions to win titles in a record seven divisions while maintaining his speed and power.
“I have instructed my promoter, Bob Arum, head of Top Rank Inc., to help me out in the filing of the case as soon as possible because I have had people coming over to me now asking if I really take performance-enhancing drugs and [if] I have cheated my way into becoming the No. 1 boxer in the world.
“I maintain and assure everyone that I have not used any form or kind of steroids and that my way to the top is a result of hard work, hard work, hard work and a lot of blood spilled from my past battles in the ring, not outside of it. I have no idea what steroids look like, and my fear in God has kept me safe and victorious through all these years.
“I say to Floyd Mayweather Jr., don’t be a coward and face me in the ring, mano a mano, and shut your big, pretty mouth so we can show the world who is the true king of the ring,” Pacquiao said. He added that he contemplated a lawsuit against Mayweather Sr. before his Nov. 14 victory against Miguel Cotto. “I did not sue because I did not want to get distracted during that time because I was preparing for one of the toughest fights in my career.
“Pretty Boy Floyd, face me instead on March 13 in Las Vegas and not in some talk show forum or in press releases written for you by people who don’t even know me. Face me in a fight where I get to punch back. To Floyd, despite all these accusations, may your Christmas be merry, and I will see you in court soon, too.” Source
That’s the longest hate filled rant in a minute. Kanye needs to get his game up. But now that it’s out there I wonder what Floyd will come out with.

Word is that Floyd “Money” Mayweather is broke. Someone in his came is spilling the beans. Here’s an e-mail that was sent to RhymesWithSnitch.com
Floyd ‘No-Money’ Mayweather was broke that’s why he went back to boxing. He couldn’t even pay his staff but he was still taking care of his jump offs. He wasn’t paying his maid or landscapers. He started remodeling his house that was on cribs, couldn’t pay them so they stopped the work and he had to check into A local hotel (suncoast) for 2months. He pays his crew chump change but wants them to work 20 hour days 7days a week. Most of them are living in hotels sharing rooms because they don’t make enough for an apartment. Out of his whole crew only 2 of them have cars while his jump offs are driving Mercedes, BMWs, and SUVs. Floyd treats his crew like shit and pays like that because most of them have records and can’t get real jobs. His own sister don’t even have a car. Floyd has more than 4 kids including a 3 year old with a married woman that has worked for him for years. Floyd takes his jump offs on shopping sprees spending 5,000-10,000 a trip. Yes he is the biggest trick of them all. And I know for a fact Floyd has been robbed more than what’s been in the media, he just didn’t report it because it was by “working girls”. The only money he has is what he got from this last fight and he has law suits pending from debts ready to eat that up. Source
Living out of hotels, slave driving his staff, getting robbed by prostitutes…what the hell?! You give some Negroes money and thy just don’t know what to do with themselves.

TLC member Chilli has a new dating reality show on the horizon, but the folks over at Freddy O think she may have already found her man in the form of boxer Floyd Mayweather.
The two were recently at an event honoring Senator Kasiim Reed the chemistry seemed awfully strong. She was asked about her relationship with him about a year ago after reports came out that he bought her $5,000 worth of shoes while they were in Vegas together.
She said:
Floyd and I are really good friends. I like Floyd. You know it’s funny because you see Floyd on television with all the money and all that kind’ve stuff. I get on him and say “stop doing that and go to a hospital and pay a families bills and he actually thought it was a great idea so he’s really a great guy! That is just an image that he puts out there but the Floyd outside of that. He’s just amazing. Like he has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever seen. I honestly have to say that. So he’s just someone that I like hanging out with. He’s the type of person that when we are all hanging out together, he’d buy stuff for everybody. But no, I’m not dating him. I do want a date. I want a boyfriend. I want a husband. Source
Well they would make an interesting pair, no? I’m not sure how I feel about this possibility. Thoughts?
