Justin Verlander had a down year in 2014, and that may have had a lot to do with a core injury that prevented him from working out intensely during the offseason. This winter, the Detroit Tigers pitcher has been making up for lost time. According to …
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have reportedly completed their fight negotiations and are set to announce the bout that many believed would never take place. Gareth A. Davies of The Telegraph reports that Pacquiao and Mayweather have put the …
