Floyd Mayweather’s next opponent tried to board Plane w/ a Gun this Morning
If this guy isn’t stupid enough for thinking he’s going to beat Floyd in the ring, he’s also not the best at making travel decisions. Robert Guerrero tried to board a plane earlier today with an unloaded .40 cal semi-automatic pistol at JFK Airport in New York. Security obviously detected the weapon and arrested him right away. Guerrero claims that he was bringing the gun as a prop for a photo shoot. Either way the dude should’ve known no snakes on a plane and no guns on a plane. Now he’ll have to pay the consequences.
Mayweather Leaves HBO and Goes Showtime!
Forbes breaks down how Mayweather could make up to $250 Million and beyond under his new deal with CBS/Showtime.
Mayweather is likely looking at a guarantee of around $200 million for the six-fight deal. Pay-per-view revenues will push that total past $250 million. How much past $250 million depends on the quality and marketability of his opponents, as well as Mayweather staying undefeated.
In making the announcement, Mayweather also confirmed a May 4 fight with Robert Guerrero which will mark the fighter’s Showtime debut.
Widely recognized as boxing’s top pound-for-pound fighter, Mayweather (43-0, 26 KOs) has been a part of boxing’s four biggest non-heavyweight pay-per-view events.
The 35-year-old fighter was listed as the highest paid athlete in 2012 by Forbes after earning $85 million from two fights against Victor Ortiz and Miguel Cotto. Filipino southpaw Manny Pacquiao ranked second with earnings of $62 million.
According to the statement, Mayweather averages more than 1 million pay-per-view buys per event, the highest of any boxer, and if all six fights take place it could result in the richest individual athlete deal in all of sports.
In making the announcement, Mayweather also confirmed a May 4 fight with Robert Guerrero which will mark the fighter’s Showtime debut.
“I got a divorce,” a smiling Mayweather said of leaving HBO, his longtime television home. “I’m married again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better deal,” he said.

“Boxer Omar Henry craved the spotlight and hoped one day to become the undisputed super welterweight champion.Sadly, though, Henry only became a star in death, when he died at 25 Friday in a Chicago hospital following a short fight with gall bladder cancer.Henry, who was 12-0-1, was supposed to fight on Showtime on Nov. 16. But he didn’t feel well a few days before the fight, went to see his doctor and was diagnosed with Stage 4 gall bladder cancer.He posted a series of heart-wrenching messages on his Facebook fan page in which he pleaded for prayers and support. Perhaps the most tragic was his Jan. 9 post, when he said he hoped to live to celebrate his 26th birthday on Feb. 8.” _Source
Here’s what Floyd Mayweather had to say about the Marquez/Pacquiao Fight
We all expected Mayweather to hop on Twitter after the fight and go on a rant bout how Manny got knocked the F out, but it didn’t go down like that. Money May took the classy approach and had this to say…
“You live and you learn. The only thing [Pacquiao] can do is rejuvenate himself and bounce back like a true champion. Marquez is a true champion, Manny Pacquiao is a true champion, both of them went out there and put on a good performance, and that’s a good thing for the sport of boxing. I wish Pacquiao nothing but the best. I wish that he can bounce back and he can recoup from this…I feel bad for him, honestly. I really feel bad for him. There’s a difference in the ways you can get knocked out. See, when a guy gets knocked out and he can get up, they sit him on his stool, they rub his back, he go home and ice himself, you know, he go to the hospital and get checked out and he’s okay, that’s one thing. But, when you gotta wake a guy up with smelling salt and he got a concussion and he gotta go to the hospital overnight, that’s crucial. I mean, that’s close to death.”
