Funny thing how I was recently pointing out Pretty Boy’s interview with The Grand Rapids Press where he called out HBO for being racist and having double standards when it comes to criticism of athletes versus announcers.

I’ve seen people do lots of stupid things when faced with some sort of a challenge, but I don’t recall the last time the terms of a bet involved Oscar De La Hoya dressing up in a bikini. I guess when you’re promoting some crap fight between a couple of dudes I’ve never heard of,…Read More

The Golden Boy — known for his charm, looks, and personality — was called out by Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather Jr. in PBF’s most recent conference call leading up to their May 5th bout (it’s only nine days away!).
