Floyd Mayweather loves attention almost as much as he loves money. Don’t believe me? Watch this video of Mayweather after a recent appearance in LA and your mind will change. Money May seems like he’s on a natural high as his fans beg for autographs and follow him with cameras.

The Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. super fight hit a snag over performance-enhancing drug testing although common sense says nothing will stop this fight because of the amount of money on the line.

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
