Flaunting $50 Million Ultra-Luxurious Asset, Floyd Mayweather Pens Down a Message Making Car Owners Feel Broke

By
Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather is the richest boxer in the world. Even after his retirement, the undefeated legend appears in exhibition bouts, pocketing millions of dollars each time. It makes him drawn to some of the luxuries in life that others simply can’t afford. In a similar situation, ‘Money’ Mayweather made car owners all over the globe feel tiny on social media today.

The $450 million boxer is no stranger to the high life. Whether it’s luxurious diamond-studded watches or massive mansions, Mayweather knows how to live life king-size. Take his $50 million Gulfstream G650 jet, for example, aptly dubbed the Air Mayweather, something that was all over his latest Instagram story.

Floyd Mayweather doesn’t par cars

Turning to Instagram, the undefeated former champion shared a clip of his jet taxiing to its designated area in the airport. Mayweather decided to put a spin on it and share it with his devoted followers. However, in Mayweather fashion, he did not relinquish the opportunity to take a dig at normal people. While flaunting his $50 million pride and joy, the former champion penned a message for everyone.

He wrote, “A lot of y’all park cars, we park jets.” Despite Mayweather’s braggadocios remark on Instagram, he has time and time again used the same jet to help people in need. One prime example would be when ‘Money’ Mayweather used his jet to deliver vital supplies to people in Israel after the country was attacked recently. Moreover, for the most curious of Mayweather’s fans, here is a look inside his $50 million possession!]

A walkthrough of Air Mayweather

Commercial jets are in no way cheap, fixed with numerous luxuries, but Floyd’s Air Mayweather puts all of them to shame. From the fuselage of the plane to the lavishly upholstered seats, not a penny was spared to create the true Mayweather experience. The Gulfstream G650 jet features opulent leather seats and a bed when Floyd needs some rest.

If that wasn’t enough, the Air Mayweather features an in-built entertainment system to keep the champ well “entertained.” He often brings in a masseuse on board to get a rub down on one of the glorious leather seats. Moreover, the plane’s fuselage has the initials plastered on it that Mayweather is known for, “TBE” or the “The Best Ever.”

After his recent trip in his Air Mayweather, the undefeated former champion flaunts his multi-million dollar jet while reminding everyone of his lifestyle. What did you think of his jet?

Terence Crawford Gives a Two-Word Response to Errol’s Cataract Surgery Saga

By
Terence Bud Crawford

Recently, Errol Spence Jr.’s cataract surgery became a hot topic. This wasn’t just a routine medical update; it intertwined closely with his in-ring performance. Recall his significant loss to Terence Crawford, stirring debates across the boxing community. Spence, a formidable welterweight, attributed his defeat to his impaired vision.

But, amidst swirling discussions and speculations, Crawford’s response stood out, not for its elaborateness, but for its brevity. Oddly enough, it’s not the words said, but the silence that follows, which often speaks volumes in sports. What did Crawford say?

Terence Crawford isn’t entertaining any excuses

Errol Spence Jr.’s revelation about his recent eye surgery shed new light on his performance against Terence Crawford. “It’s been past due. Sh!t was covering my eye. Why [do] you think I got hit with so many jabs and hooks?” Spence openly admitted in an Instagram story. His candor suggested that the cataracts significantly hindered his vision, impacting his ability to defend against Crawford’s strikes. This admission, a rare glimpse into the vulnerabilities of a professional athlete, sparked widespread discussions among fans and experts alike.

Terence Crawford

Amidst this buzz, Terence Crawford’s reaction emerged, startling in its simplicity. He took to Twitter, delivering a two-word statement that cut through the noise: “No comment.” This brief tweet, contrasting starkly with Spence’s detailed explanation, left the audience pondering. Was it a sign of indifference, a strategic move to stay out of the controversy, or a subtle acknowledgment of Spence’s struggles? The ambiguity of Crawford’s words only fueled further intrigue in this high-profile boxing drama.

But what did Errol’s former opponent had to say about his surgery?

Yordenis Ugas shows solidarity with Spence’s health struggles

In the tightly-knit world of professional boxing, camaraderie often shines through rivalry. This was evident when Yordenis Ugas, a former opponent, expressed his genuine concern for Errol Spence Jr.’s health. Michael Benson, an online editor for talksports, shared Spence’s Instagram story on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting Spence in a wheelchair, his eye covered in bandages.

Terence Crawford reacts to Errol Spence’s injury excuse in undisputed title fight

By
Terence Crawford
The pair are linked with a rematch.

Unified world welterweight champion Terence Crawford does not seem too impressed with an Instagram post from Errol Spence Jr.

Crawford and Spence met in one of last year’s biggest fights when they went head-to-head in Las Vegas for the undisputed welterweight title.

Many were expecting it to be a closely fought affair, but what transpired was someone no one expected. Crawford dominated the contest from start to finish with the Nebraska man knocking down Spence three times before the fight was brought to an end in the ninth round.

Now six months after the July contest, Spence has announced that he has undergone successful cataract surgery and claims that this problem played a part in his loss to Crawford.

“Why you think I got hit with so many jabs and hooks? Still a great performance by bro,” Spence wrote on his Instagram story.

Since this revelation, Crawford issued a simple “No comment,” response on his X account.

Neither fighter has stepped into the ring since the undisputed clash, but it’s expected that Crawford and Spence will meet in a rematch at some point in 2024 either at welterweight or light middleweight.

“There’s a Way to Beat Canelo…”: Admitting Terence Crawford’s Canelo Alvarez Dream as ‘Possibility’, Heavyweight Legend Lennox Lewis Details How the 2X Undisputed Champion Should Fight Against the Mexican

By
Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez

There is no denying that Terence Crawford is one of the best fighters boxing has to offer today. Doubling down on his boxing acumen, former heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis has suggested how ‘Bud’ can possibly beat, another abled fighter of today, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. 

After beating Julius Indongo in 2017 to become undisputed in the super lightweight class and then defeating Errol Spence Jr., to become undisputed in the welterweight division, he is one of the very few 2x undisputed champions in boxing history. In the wake of such a feat, in hopes of turning the 2x into 3x, the ambitious Crawford called on the unified super middleweight champion, Canelo Álvarez. But can Crawford really defeat Canelo, who’s only been defeated twice in his 64-fight career? Here is what Lewis has to say.

Lennox Lewis is all praises for Terence Crawford

Terence Crawford

“It’s a possibility,” remarked the British legend to Fight Hub TV. “Let me tell you about Terence Crawford, that man is Kung Fu. You know, when you watch a martial arts movie, you know, you think of him, because he’s full with his style, great with his style. He’s got power, he’s got poise, he’s got speed, he’s got movement,” noted Lewis, making a splendid case for Bud. But is that enough to beat Canelo, the Mexican fighter who’s considered to be one of the best in the sport?

Lewis argued that there is a way to defeat Canelo that hardly any fighter has learned. Bivol’s victory over the Jalisco fighter was attributed to the former’s weight. Mayweather fought a Canelo who was still young in the sport, while ‘Money’ was seemingly in his prime, coming off a strong streak of undefeated fights.

So, what is this way that Lewis suggests? It’s the art of ‘jabs’.

The Lennox Lewis Jab

‘The Lion’ as many call him, was famous and even feared for his signature jab that he perfected early in his career. The signature straight right hand has fazed the likes of Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. Now, as he looks back at how ‘the jab’ pushed him to the top of boxing, leaving him defeated only twice in his 45-fight-long career, he thinks the jab is what could dethrone Alvarez.

He further explained, “I know every great heavyweight has a jab. Even the lighter weights, they’re not using the jabs. They’re forgetting that the jab is the main weapon of a fighter. The first weapon of a fighter is a jab, and after that, it’s a right-hand hook, uppercut. But first, you gotta establish your jab.”

Terence Crawford currently awaits a date for his rematch with Errol Spence Jr. Once that happens, it remains to be seen if he gets a fight with Canelo. Who do you think would win between Bud and Canelo? Let us know in the comments section below

Ngannou Still Expects To Face Tyson Fury in Rematch: It’s Going To Happen

By
Tyson Fury

MMA veteran Francis Ngannou is scheduled to collide with former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

However, Ngannou has not forgotten about a potential rematch with WBC world champion Tyson Fury.

Last October, Ngannou made his professional boxing debut against Fury.

Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, dropped Fury in the third round and made it a very competitive fight for the entire ten rounds.

After the smoke had cleared, Fury came away with a razor-close split decision victory.

Ngannou believes he did enough to win the fight and called out for an immediate rematch.

On the other hand, Fury is set to collide with WBO, IBF, IBO, WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk in a high-stakes undisputed fight on February 17 in Riyadh.

tyson fury and oleksandr usyk

Regardless of who wins, there is a rematch clause where a second fight is likely to happen near the end of the year.

Ngannou wants a second fight with Fury regardless of the outcome of the upcoming fight with Usyk.

“It’s going to happen,” Ngannou said on The MMA Hour. “I mean there’s Fury and [Oleksandr] Usyk, even then we spoke about it. There’s Fury and Usyk going on, so [the Joshua fight] was like an opportunity. I was waiting for Fury, but this was the opportunity that I was happy to take, I [asked] for. And at the end of the day, this won’t take anything away from the Fury rematch.

“[The rematch has] never been right away. I think there’s even a slight chance that the ‘right away’ is the Usyk rematch. Because I think their term is even closer, our rematch term was in one year. Within one year. Which is still gonna be in October this year.”

Tyson Fury should beat Oleksandr Usyk, says Artur Beterbiev, but only if he has prepared well

By
Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury

Artur Beterbiev fought a sequence of bouts with Oleksandr Usyk, now the unified heavyweight champion, when they were both amateurs; Beterbiev doesn’t rule out moving up in weight himself but insists he is fully focused on next opponent Callum Smith; Watch Beterbiev vs Smith live on Sky

Artur Beterbiev beat Oleksandr Usyk once, and he believes Tyson Fury will do so too when the Briton fights him for the undisputed heavyweight title.

Beterbiev, who is the holder the WBC, WBO and IBF light-heavyweight championships, lost to Usyk in two exciting bouts at 91kgs in the 2011 amateur World championships and 2012 Olympics.

But he is the first to point out that he also holds an amateur win over Usyk, beating the Ukrainian when they were both light-heavyweights.

He shrugged off those past defeats. “That time my weight was only 83kgs,” he told Sky Sports. “I’ve never been 90kgs in a fight.

tyson fury and oleksandr usyk

“We had another fight too in the amateurs,” he added. “There was a match [in Russia], I had fight with him there at 81kgs and I beat him on the first day [of the tournament].

“You know Oleksandr Usyk, he does his job very well. What I can say, good for him.

That is something of an understatement. Usyk has excelled as a professional, beating Anthony Joshua to win the WBO, IBF and WBA heavyweight titles, and his February fight with WBC titlist Fury gives him the chance to become a two-weight undisputed champion.

Martin Bakole Gives Verdict On Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk After Sparring Both

By
OLeksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are set to fight next month to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis.

Usyk brings the WBA, WBO and IBF belts to the table, pitted against Fury’s WBC for the historic contest that will, in many minds, show the best of a generation.

With two tricky styles, the fight could be won on game-plan alone, and thus a lot of eyes are on how each man prepares. Someone who knows them in the gym well is Martin Bakole.

The heavyweight contender is a regular sparring partner of Fury’s – although not for this particular bout – and has claimed to have stopped Usyk in the gym in the past.

Speaking to IFL TV, Bakole said he can see a path to victory for both of his former sparring partners but ultimately sat on the fence when it comes to the final result.

Whilst Usyk has put an open call out for sparring partners who feel they can emulate the giant Brit, Fury’s camp has spoken to cruiserweight king Jai Opetaia as well as rising heavyweight star Moses Itauma.

Many fans feel both men showed vulnerabilities in their last outings, making this one, set for Riyadh on February 17, all the more intriguing.

Francis Ngannou’s brutal answer to Anthony Joshua ‘chin’ question

By
Francis Ngannou

Francis Ngannou made a huge impact on his boxing debut, and he has earned another huge fight in the squared circle where he will take on British heavyweight Anthony Joshua. The pair look set to meet in a huge heavyweight clash in Saudi Arabia in March, which will come just six months after the ex-UFC star scored a huge knockdown against Tyson Fury in his debut in the sport, which sent shockwaves through the division.

Ngannou earned a WBC ranking despite falling short on the final judges scorecards, and he will now have a big opportunity to propel his name into even further stardom. AJ himself is in good form, having won his last three fights including a stoppage demolition of Otto Wallin, which is considered his most convincing performance in the last couple of years. But ‘The Predator’ fancies his chances and has compared the size of the task to facing the ‘Gypsy King’ in October.

Francis Ngannou shares bold first prediction for Anthony Joshua fight, compares opponent with Tyson Fury

By
Anthony Joshua

Francis Ngannou recently weighed in on his upcoming boxing match against Anthony Joshua and compared ‘AJ’ to his previous opponent Tyson Fury.

The former UFC heavyweight champion is set to face Joshua in a blockbuster 10-round boxing match on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The bout was announced two weeks after the Englishman dispatched Otto Wallin via TKO on the ‘Day of Reckoning’ card, where Deontay Wilder shockingly suffered an upset decision loss to Joseph Parker.

Anthony Joshua

Due to Wilder losing, his next-planned opponent, Joshua, decided to move on and face Ngannou next instead. ‘The Predator’ is notably coming off a controversial split-decision loss to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who’s slated to fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship against Oleksandr Usyk on Feb. 17.

During the Fury-Ngannou fight, the Cameroonian stunned fans with his skills and even scored a knockdown on the Englishman. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Ngannou compared Joshua to Fury and predicted a statement victory on March 8. He said:

Francis Ngannou Sends Anthony Joshua Punch Resistance Taunt Ahead Of Fight

By
Anthony Joshua

The mind games have already begun between soon-to-be opponents Francis Ngannou and Anthony Joshua as the former MMA star has taunted the Brit about his punch resistance.

Ngannou is just weeks away from only his second-ever boxing match. It is scheduled for early March in Saudi Arabia and comes just a matter of months after he made his hugely impressive debut against the lineal and WBC champion Tyson Fury in October.

That fight saw him box well, stay out of trouble and inflict a knockdown on Fury in the third which has since had people talking about whether or not Fury is in decline.

Joshua meanwhile had a busy year with three wins, two inside the distance and one on points over 12 rounds. This contest is scheduled for 10 rounds though both men are notoriously big hitters so it could well not last that long.

Speaking to the MMA Hour, that is certainly what Congolese-Frenchman Ngannou is hinting at. Firstly, he responded to Eddie Hearn’s claims that the fight – which some think will earn both men eight figures – is easy money for Joshua.

Anthony Joshua

Ngannou then taunted Joshua about his allegedly weak jaw.

One thing is for sure, no one can doubt Ngannou’s toughness at taking on Fury and Joshua in his first ever two boxing matches.
