Rolls was a bum.
Zab in a fucking coma, smh.
His best friend Monte Barrett says the whole coma thing isn't true.
He's in the hospital though.
He has another career as a nurse. He needs to stop.
Good to hear. Thanks.
5 boxers on Forbes list for 2019, Fury would've been on the list if his fight this Sat counted towards this but it'll count towards next yrs list since Forbes calculation period is June 1 2018-June 1 2019. GGG's $15 mil from this past Sat didn't count either or he would've been higher on the list. Next year's list will have at least 6 boxers on there with these same 5 plus Fury and potentially Ruiz depending on how things play out for him. Conor McGregor as usual was the only MMA fighter that made the list

Whys that? Manny made his 1st Forbes list in 2009 10 yrs ago from his 1st fight moving up to 147 against De La Hoya in Dec 2008. It's really hard to make forbes list under 147, Naseem Hamed been the only 1 to do it thus far. Manny been making the big money for a long time tho
Dude had money issues, especially dealing with Arum.
He still does and probably always will with the size of his entourage, financially supporting hundreds of ppl
MANNY PACQUIAO NOT FIGHTING ON APRIL 14 DUE TO IRS ISSUES, BOB ARUM SAYS

NORWALK, Calif. — Manny Pacquiao was slated to return for the first time since his controversial loss to Jeff Horn with an April 14 bout against Mike Alvarado.
The welterweight fight was set to serve as the ESPN Pay-Per-View co-feature to Terence Crawford’s title challenge of Horn in Las Vegas, but it’s now off, and when Pacquiao fights next is anyone’s guess.
The Filipino senator’s media manager, Aquiles Zonio, told RingTV.com earlier this week that Pacquiao was insulted to fight in a co-feature, and that was why the fight wouldn’t happen.
Not the case, says the future hall of famer’s longtime promoter, Bob Arum.
“Pacquiao is moving off the date for now, there was a problem with Pacquiao and the IRS and all that stuff,” Arum said.
Pacquiao, of course, has had repeated issues with the tax man. He owed $68 million as of 2016, and over the years, he’s gone to great lengths to minimize the money he owes.
All of Pacquiao’s high-profile bouts have taken place in Nevada and Texas, where there’s no state income tax, and recently, Pacman has split his training camps between his native Philippines and Hollywood to avoid further taxation.
The eight-division champion’s last bout took place in Australia, and he hasn’t fought in the U.S. since November 2016.
When Pacquiao will fight again, if he does at all, is unclear. Arum told RingTV.comlast week that he planned to match Pacquiao with either Crawford or Vasyl Lomachenko in the fall, but that was when Pacman was still slated to meet Alvarado.
With our without Pacquiao, Top Rank is moving forward with Crawford-Horn on April 14 in Las Vegas. Whether it will still land on PPV without the support of Pacquiao, Arum wouldn’t say.

The man is closing in on ten kids (he's probably exceeded 10 by now). I'm surprised he's not bald yet.
He left Arum 10 years too late.
He had a chance to get out of the deal but he reupped around the time of the Cotto fight.
Dude had issues with gambling, side bitches and alcohol. Not to mention a big ass entourage and giving away money.
Think I'm starting to agree with ppl Floyd will fight again because he spends alot of money and ego
The man can’t even go to the gym and do sit-ups without people saying he’s fighting again.
Floyd is 42 years old.
His fighting days are over.

He's for sure having more fights, question is if he sticks to just these "exhibition" fights like he did in Japan or if he does any real fights
This was a GREAT story!!
Tyson Fury fight week. Anybody hype? 
My statement wasn't based on that video of him working out it was because of the sports top money earners list recently released
More to do with his spending habits and his ego which I stated
This all the way
