Floyd Mayweather casually revealed $123 million in one bank account to stunned journalist
Floyd Mayweather has never been shy about flaunting his fortune, but one particular moment stands out even among his countless displays of wealth. Back in 2013, before raking in hundreds of millions more from fights with Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor, Mayweather stunned ESPN journalist Tim Keown by casually revealing the balance of his personal bank account. During a visit to a Foot Locker in Grand Rapids,Mayweather called Keown over, made sure no one was watching, and then held out a paper slip. On it was the balance from just one of his accounts: a jaw-dropping $123 million.Floyd Mayweather turns heads courtside with outrageous diamond watch and jewelry displayKeown, who had been granted rare access to Mayweather ahead of his fight with Saul "Canelo" Álvarez, described the moment as surreal.

Renato Paiva explica status de Savarino e Barboza, substituídos com dores em goleada do Botafogo
Apesar da boa exibição coletiva da equipe e da goleada conquistada por 4 a 0 contra o Capital-DF que encaminhou a vaga do alvinegro nas oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil, o Botafogo ainda saiu do gramado do Nilton Santos com duas preocupações: as lesões de Barboza e Savarino. Titular absoluta do time de Renato Paiva, a dupla precisou ser substituída ao longo da partida por conta de problemas médicos. Como está suspenso para a próxima partida do Campeonato Brasileiro, contra o Bahia, Barboza começou o jogo entre os titulares. De acordo com Paiva, a programação era de que o defensor atuasse durante apenas 45 minutos. No entanto, o argentino precisou ser substituído aos 35 da primeira etapa após sofrer um pisão no pé esquerdo de atleta do Capital. Na volta do Botafogo para o intervalo, Barboza andava com […]
Three reasons why Inter can beat Barcelona and advance to the Champions League final
Getty Images BARCELONA -- If Inter wanted to have a chance to qualify for their second UEFA Champions League final in the last three seasons, they needed to contain FC Barcelona and Spanish wonderkid Lamine Yamal in the first leg at the Estadio Lluis Companys. If the second one was quite difficult to make happen, we can't say the Nerazzurri haven't done their best to bring a 3-3 draw back to Milan ahead of the second leg semifinal that will take place on Tuesday (live on Paramount+). Simone Inzaghi's Inter showed, once again, why they shouldn't be underestimated and why they are still a strong candidate to win, despite a disappointing recent form that led them to lose the lead of the Serie A standings after losing two Serie A matches in a row. It won't be easy, but Inter […]
