He told employees at the dealership he had to hurry because he was preparing for a big fight. Read the full story

As soon as referee Kenny Bayless stopped Manny Pacquiao from beating Miguel Cotto senseless boxing fans started calling for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to take on the current pound-for-pound champion. A Mayweather-Pacquiao fight will reportedly bring in $40-$50 million for each fighter at the same time giving fight fans the classic match-up they’ve wanted. A potential sticking point in all Mayweather-Pacquiao talk is Floyd’s relationship with Top Rank top man Bob Arum. Mayweather previously said he’d never fight Pacquiao if Arum was involved but that changed late Thursday when Floyd’s team approached Top Rank about the super fight. Read the full story
