Floyd invites his Friend Adrian Broner around for jelly and custard dinner

Apparently each plate full costs a minimum of $1000


He loves fast cars, big houses and flash clothes but Floyd Mayweather isn't one to hold back in the kitchen, given that he pays up to $1000 per plate when the food is cooked by Chef Q.
The boxer invited compatriot Adrien Broner for a feast at his mansion in Los Angeles, as he continues his preparation for the $300million mega-fight against Manny Pacquiao.
Broner, a three-time world champion, took to Instagram to show off the plethora of food on show.

It seems Wlad's fight with Jennings has been overshadowed by the big one

Heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko, the dominant star of what was once the sport's most glamorous division, is struggling to get attention for his New York title defence Saturday.

Seldom is the 1.98m Ukraine giant dwarfed by anything, but the huge interest in next week's long-awaited welterweight showdown between Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao and unbeaten US star Floyd Mayweather has turned Klitschko's first US bout since 2008 into an afterthought.

The fight isn't a sellout at Madison Square Garden, where Britain's Lennox Lewis and American Evander Holyfield staged a heavyweight showdown for an undisputed crown in 1999 that ended in a controversial draw.

And Klitschko, despite huge success, has not captivated US fight fans.

"Confused is what it's all about," says former heavyweight champion George Foreman of Klitschko's place in boxing history.

"Klitschko has had a good career. He hasn't been invited into the picture into the United States.

"It doesn't seem like there is anyone around who can beat him. It's going to take someone very special to dethrone Klitschko."

I can not believe that the fight contract has only been signed now.

It's not the fight contract. That was signed and posted by Mayweather.

The contract is the Venue Contract.

I think the whole thing is a promotion scam itself. The contract not being signed smells of creating greater demand for the over-inflated non-existent tickets. MGM wouldn't have published the fight announcement without an agreement in place. The fact that there wasn't any real grumblings going on gives us a clue that the conflict is staged.

Notice with all the moneys being made with this fight, nothing has been said about the venue bid. Remember the middle east put up $110 million to get the venue. My guess is that the MGM would have had to at least matched that. So who is getting it and how is it being divided. Is it that Pacquiao is being kept in the dark by secret Mayweather and Arum agreement? Or is this something they are not mentioning to hide it from the Government? There are moneys involved in this fight that is not being mentioned to the public. No talks were ever mentioned about moving the venue because it was one of the very early issues easily addressed.

Floyd claims Manny looked shock when he saw him at the Basketball. Floyd towering above him like a giant and all that

“You can read a guy’s body language. When Pacquiao first saw me in Miami, he didn’t expect to see me over there at the basketball game,” Mayweather said.
“He looked shocked, like ‘damn, he’s taller than me. He’s bigger than what I thought he was’.
“Just by being in the sport for so long, you’re able to read body language and to read a fighter’s eyes.

The MGM has sold 50,000 $150 tickets to watch the big fight on TV

"Charging people $150 apiece to watch the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight at a closed-circuit viewing party in Las Vegas might have seemed steep when MGM Resorts International announced the price. Now, it appears the company could have charged far more. MGM has sold 50,000 tickets and is trying to find room in its 10 hotel/casino properties on the strip for another 15,000 people willing to pay $150 to watch the May 2 fight on closed circuit, said Jay Rood, vice president of race and sports books for MGM.
MGM has never hosted more than 15,000 people at viewing parties for a boxing match and never charged more than $100 per person, according to Rood, who said the 50,000 tickets sold on Thursday in a matter of hours."
