Dude is really making his publicity rounds these days. Should be interesting to see where else and who else he pops up at or with in the next few months before Wrestlemania (3/30) and the De La Hoya fight this fall.
This is a little old, but I still want to post it because it's entertaining. At WWE's No Way Out Pay-Per-View special this past Sunday night, boxing champ Floyd Mayweather made an appearance (or an acting debut-whatever you want to call it).
After some trash talking, taunting and staring, Mayweather pulls a hit and run on the Big Show - breaking his nose! Check it out below:
Grown man's soap opera.
Don't worry, there is more to come. Mayweather has accepted a challenge to go one-on-one in the future with Big Show. Maybe De la Hoya will be involved next time around...
He's the top-earning athlete in sports, thanks largely to endorsement deals. Nike is his largest to date, but royalties from Gatorade's upcoming Tiger-branded drink could rival the sneaker giant's payout. Woods, 32, commands as much as $3 million a pop for playing overseas tournies. His fees from such paid appearances nearly matched his winnings over the past year.
Kobe Bryant The Lakers forward stayed put, despite well-publicized chatter about his frustration with the team and interest in defecting. "We have a really good situation," a seemingly content Bryant told reporters recently. In December, Bryant, 29, surpassed Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan to become the youngest basketballer in NBA History to reach 20,000 career points. Shaquille O'Neal Injuries have caused the Diesel to average career lows in points and assists this year. Injured or not, the Miami Heat still owes Shaq $40 million over the next two seasons.
Michael Jordan He's arguably the best professional basketball player in history. Jordan, who turns 45 in February, has his hands in a variety of businesses, both charitable and for profit, including restaurants and motor sports. He also boasts a minority stake in the Charlotte Bobcats. Though it's been some five years since he retired, Jordan's Nike sneakers are still a $500 million business.
Dwight Freeney Last July, Freeney became the highest-paid defensive player in football with a six-year, $72 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts, of which $30 million was paid upfront. Floyd Mayweather In 2007, Mayweather enjoyed his best year ever financially, He collected a total of $50 million for his May and December fights against Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, respectively.
Lebron James King James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first conference title ever this year. When not on the court, James, 23, oversees construction of his 35,000-square-foot home outside of Cleveland, which includes a bowling alley, casino and barber shop. This year the cycling aficionado also acquired a minority stake in Cannondale, manufacturer of high-performance bicycles.
What's a good nickname for them ... Keggie? Regadashian? Takeapictureofmeggie-ian?
Reggie needs to stop frontin' like he doesn't like the attention. They are making more appearances than the presidential candidates these days.
The two attended a special event at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas over the weekend where they partied with Floyd Mayweather. Bossip.com reports that Mayweather and Zab Juddah had a “who could ball out more” competition and that he two were battling on how many bottles bought and how many dollars were thrown in the air.
Floyd Mayweather celebrated his 31st birthday at Jet Nightclub at the Mirage this past Monday night in Vegas.
One question: why?
Apparently, partying with your mama at the club is the new hotness! I'm not mad ...
