What with the Roger Clemes "mercinary" scenario the last couple years.....and now you see this.....almost makes you want to just rob a bank instead of try to work hard to make a life for yourself! Makes you feel very small! The wages paid in sports is way, waaaayyyyy out of whack!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

He probably was the promoter Spence. He is smart like that.

If he's so smart, why is he still risking getting his brain scrambled?

Although against a powder-puff like Mayweather, I guess it's an acceptable risk.
