Floyd Mayweather is having himself a pretty good month so far. Just under two weeks ago he made an easy $100 million for less than an hour in the ring against Manny Pacquiao. Probably still celebrating the win, last night the “Money Team” head honcho sat front-and-center for Game 5 of the Warriors vs. Grizzlies series. Still, he’s not exactly […]
