Floyd Mayweather's son: 'My father is a coward'
It isn't a word usually associated with an undefeated professional boxer who has won championship titles across five weight divisions. But for a son who was a witness to his father's beating of his mother four years ago, "coward" is an apt term to describe Floyd Mayweather Jr.
In an article published on USA Today, Koraun Mayweather, the fighter's eldest son with former partner Josie Harris, recalls the night his mother was attacked by the boxer in 2010.
"(My dad) said to lock my door and stay in my room," said Koraun, who is now 15 years old. "I sat there and thought about what I was going to do next. Just for like a minute."
Harris was asleep when Mayweather arrived with an associate, James McNair, at around 4 a.m. The boxer, agitated by the fact that his former partner was dating another man, beat her in front of their then 11-year-old son.
"I ran and I tried to go through the front door to go to the (security) gate," Koraun said of his actions during that night. "But then his friend (McNair) came through the door and blocked off the stairway for me to go through."
The boy then went back to his room, locked the door, and got out of the house through his bathroom to call for help.
"I just told (the guard) that my mom was getting hurt and to call the ambulance and the police," he said.
Four years later, Koraun is still seeing his father every once in while. Mayweather recently gifted him a golf cart for his birthday, but the boy said he is still coming to terms with what his father did, especially with the boxer's continuous denial.
"He is a coward," he said.
After everything he had seen, Koraun, now 15 years old, has no plans of taking after his father's footsteps in the boxing world.
"I find (boxing) boring. It is just like how people sit in the ring and fight for 12 rounds and it gets boring after a while," he said. "Sometimes they run."

Money May’s Condition For The Dream Match Is Pacquiao Must Sign Up With Mayweather Promotions
By Vittorio Hernandez | September 4, 2014 2:11 PM EST
Despite the disclosure last week by Top Rank Promotions chief Bob Arum that Showtime/CBS and HBO are discussing the possibility of having two Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather bouts in 2015, Money May doused cold water on the fight.
He told Black Sports Online writer Kel Dansby at a media event at his Las Vegas gym that he would only agree to face the Filipino champ in the ring if the congressman will sign with his Mayweather Promotions.
With Mayweather's condition, the dream match is next to dead because Pacquiao;s contract with Top Rank runs until December 2016, which means the earliest time the bout could take place is January 2017 when Mayweather turns 40 and Pacquao would be 38 by then.
In response to Mayweather's latest demand, Pacquiao replied, quoted by the Los Angeles Times, "I want to give the people what they want, the fight with Mayweathere, but what can I do if he doesn't want to fight?"
Pacquiao added, "He's ducking another opponent, and it's known all over the world who he should fight. So ... I feel sorry for him. What he needs is ... to know how to communicate with people. That's why I'm so happy and have peace of mind."
For the fight to happen before the two boxers get too old, Arum said there should be cooperation between HBO, Pacquiao's pay-per-view network, and Showtime, where Mayweather is signed up.

Boxing's pound-for-pound king, Floyd Mayweather Jr., returns to the squared circle this Saturday night (Sept. 13, 2014) to settle some unfinished business with challenger Marcos Maidana, who gave "Money" all he could handle in their first go-round earlier this year.

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather should give the public what they want - AND pocket at least $300m between them by boxing in the richest fight in history
The initial reaction when Manny Pacquiao announced that he will quit the ring in 2016 was to despair that the fight against Floyd Mayweather which the world has been waiting an eternity to see had been scuppered once and for all.
The reverse may be the case. Not least because the Pac-Man was actually deferring his retirement date.
The last time I discussed the matter with Pacquiao he talked of going into full-time Philippines politics next year.

Bowing out: Pacquiao has deferred his retirement to 2016, raising possibility of a fight with Mayweather
Now speculation is on the rise in the US that Floyd Mayweather may be preparing the ground for a spectacular climax to both his and the Pac-Man’s career.
First, as he agreed to his September 13 rematch with Marcos Maidana, Mayweather went public with a teaser for us to expect a surprise announcement for his ensuing fight, scheduled for next May.
Since Amir Khan is hoping that will be when he gets his overdue shot at the Money man, nobody got over-excited.
But an alternative scenario has arisen from the fall-out following a huge promotional upheaval in American boxing.
Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya, after splitting with long-time partner Richard Schaefer, has brokered a peace with Bob Arum’s Top Rank outfit which should lead to big fights between boxers in each of those stables. Read full Story >>>

Finally, a sign that Mayweather could be working with Top Rank Again
By Idris Morrey:
Recently, WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr (46-0, 26 KO’s) declared he has a special opponent in mind for the fans after the September 13 rematch with Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KOs). The pound for pound long reigning champion called it a surprise to mark on the calenders and fans have not stopped guessing. Media houses, popular blogs and our very own Boxing News 24 paraded possible names for the May 2014 showdown but it all pointed at Bob Arums’ stable of Top Rank.
A photo circulating around the social media today could be confirming our guesses. A Money team labelled van was spotted outside Top Rank gym. It is now clear that Mayweather Promotions and Bob Arum of Top Rank could be talking business again. And what a good reunion it could be for both of these boxing powerhouses who posses arguably the best boxers in the sport right now. Read full Story >>>

Shawn Porter hoping to get Mayweather fight after Brook
By Scott Gilfoid:
In his media conference call today, IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KO’s) said that the guy he wants next after he beats Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) is a unification fight against WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Porter isn’t overlooking Brook, but he’s not all that concerned about him. He’s studied Brook in depth and sees an upright, rigid fighter with a very basic fighting style that he’s going to expose in their fight next month on August 16th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Top Rank president compares Crawford to Mayweather Jr
By Michael Lieberman: Well, you knew sooner or later someone was going to get around to saying that WBO lightweight champion Terence Crawford (24-0, 17 KOs) was the next Floyd Mayweather Jr or at least compare him to the famous fighter, but it was surprising that it happened so soon without Crawford having taken on a really serious threat.
Last night, Crawford defeated a fighter who was two divisions smaller than him in former IBF/WBA featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (23-1, 16 KO’s) in a 9th round knockout at the CenturyLink Center, in Omaha, Nebraska, USA.
Crawford, 26, was a favorite going into the fight due to his age, size, activity level, and the fact that Gamboa hadn’t fought in over a year, and he was no longer looking sharp at this point in his career like he had when he was younger. Read full Story...

50 Cent Talks Gamboa Vs. Crawford & Why Floyd Mayweather Won’t Work With Bob Arum
by Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire)
June 28 has been a long time coming for 50 Cent. Ever since launching his boxing company, SMS Promotions, 50 Cent has tried to make the biggest fights for his most well-known commodity, Cuba’s Yuriorkis Gamboa. He’s failed twice at making fights with Top Rank’s Mikey Garcia, as the bouts fell through over purse split squabbles.
Finally, the persistence paid off with the emergence of Terence Crawford, who secured the biggest win of his career in March when he defeated Ricky Burns for the WBO lightweight title. A few years ago, Gamboa would have been a clear favorite. Now with inactivity (two fights in the last two years) and giving up size to a skilled counter-puncher, many are picking Crawford to hand Gamboa his first defeat on Saturday night’s HBO card.
Despite the odds, 50 Cent isn’t worried. In fact, he’s excited. For the G Unit mogul, Gamboa isn’t a fighter he promotes. He is 50’s lethal weapon of choice to legitimize SMS Promotions, and in turn shake up the boxing landscape. Read full Story...
