Piers Morgan Says He Would Pay To Watch Tiger Woods Play Golf ‘Until He’s 90’

By
TIGER WOODS

Media personality Piers Morgan has confessed that he would pay money to watch Tiger Woods play golf until he was 90-year-old. 

Morgan has been playing alongside pro Matthew Jordan at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland this week when he made his bold claim.

Tiger Woods

The TV host and Arsenal football fan has long been an admirer of the world’s best sports stars. Including 15-time major winner Woods.

Although the golfing legend has been plagued by injuries and controversies – including a legal battle with a clothing brand, Morgan also insisted that Woods should continue playing for as long as possible.

Piers Morgan On Tiger Woods

“I think Tiger should play as long as he wants. I would pay to watch Tiger Woods until he’s 90. So if he wants to keep playing golf, let him play.

“I remember him being written off last time, and then he won the Masters again. And suddenly all the critics that told him to give up, look very, very stupid.

“I would never, ever write off Tiger Woods. Obviously, his body’s not quite there yet, but if he was to get back to proper fitness, he’s an incredible athlete, with amazing mental strength — why can’t he carry on?

Charlie Woods: Tiger Woods

“I think Tiger is the greatest to ever play the game. Just think peak Tiger, if you watch the videos of him or watched him at the time as I did, and you compare him to any other golfer in history, there’s no comparison, I don’t think.

“Obviously there are other greats, but peak Tiger Woods, he would have killed everyone,’ Morgan explained.

If Piers Morgan thinks he can replicate just a fraction of Tiger Woods’ golfing success then he should probably think again! Especially after he screwed his tee shot on the 16th at St Andrews.

Morgan’s terrible attempt was being filmed and his immediate reaction demonstrated just how bad he knew he had done. And many were quick to let him know on X, formerly Twitter.

Tiger Woods

One account with the handle @fergpj simply posted ‘Haha. What a clown.’ Another saw their chance to strike by simply saying ‘Just like Arsenal. Bottled it.’

It’s highly unlikely Morgan will lose any sleep over his tee shot or the comments that came with it. However, he does need to work on his swing a considerable amount if he wants to improve.

US court orders Mayweather to pay Nigerian firm $2.4m over contract breach

By
Floyd Mayweather

A US court has upheld the ruling that Floyd Mayweather Jr., the former world boxing champion, must pay Zinni Media Concept Limited, a Nigerian company, $2.4 million in damages for breach of contract.

According to a statement from Alex Nwankwo, the company’s media executive, Zinni Media reached an agreement with Mayweather to make various appearances in Africa, including one in Nigeria, in June 2017.

However, the former boxer unilaterally terminated the deal without cause and refused to reimburse the company for the advance payment paid for the service.

Nwankwo claimed that Mayweather’s legal representatives implied that because the company was not based in the US, the boxer could not make any refund.

“After several unsuccessful attempts to recover the appearance fees from the American boxer, the company instituted a legal action against Mayweather in 2018 where it alleged breach of contract, unjust enrichment and fraud against the former champion. We are grateful that two courts have granted a prayer by Zinni Media Ltd to impose terminating sanctions against Mayweather,” the statement reads.

In October 2023, a lower court in California ruled that Mayweather should pay Zinni $1,638,542 in damages, $721,881.32 in prejudgment interest, $16,270 in sanctioned attorney fees, and $285 in costs. The total compensation amount ordered was $2,376,978.

Boxing Legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. In Deep Trouble For Not Paying & Slapping Exotic Dancers At His Las Vegas Strip club

By
Floyd Mayweather

The lawsuit was filed in Clark County, Nevada, and it covers all the dancers who’ve worked at the club, which Floyd Mayweather Jr. co-owns with his sister, Deltricia Howard.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is back in the headlines, this time being sued by a couple of exotic dancers from his Las Vegas strip club, Girl Collection. They’re accusing him of stiffing them on pay and even slapping one of them in front of everyone.

floyd mayweather jr Jon Jones

The lawsuit was filed in Clark County, Nevada, and it covers all the dancers who’ve worked at the club, which Mayweather co-owns with his sister, Deltricia Howard.

The dancers claim that Mayweather and Howard classified them as independent contractors instead of employees, which meant they didn’t get minimum wage for their hours.

On top of that, they say they were forced to hand over part of their tips and pay extra fees to other staff, which they argue is a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

According to the lawsuit, Mayweather called the shots on when dancers could leave and even decided how much of their tips the club kept. The dancers also allege that both Mayweather and his sister threatened and intimidated them, especially after they tried filing a federal lawsuit last year.

Floyd Mayweather

That case was dismissed, but it’s back now in state court, with an added claim that Mayweather slapped one of the dancers.

The dancer who says she got slapped claims it happened on April 23, 2023, when she asked Mayweather about her pay. She alleges that Mayweather smacked her in front of other dancers, then followed her into the locker room, saying she couldn’t “take a joke.”

Tiger Woods’ logo dispute with Tigeraire escalates with federal court filing

By
Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods’ apparel company Sun Day Red sued Tigeraire in federal court. Tigeraire claims that Sun Day Red’s logo is too similar to its own. Trademark attorney Josh Gerben said the escalation could lead to costly litigation.

A logo dispute between Tiger Woods’ apparel company Sun Day Red and Tigeraire, a company that makes cooling products for athletes, is now in the hands of the federal court system.

Last week, Tigeraire filed a notice of opposition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office against Sun Day Red’s Tiger logo, saying the golf legend’s company “unlawfully hijacked” Tigeraire’s design into its own branding.

Tiger Woods

In a subsequent court filing, Woods’ legal team sued Tigeraire, accusing the company of trying to capitalize off Sun Day Red’s status as a bigger brand. Sun Day Red has filed a motion to dismiss the patent claim.

“This case, unfortunately, presents the time-worn circumstance of an opportunistic, misguided business attempting to extract an unwarranted financial windfall from a larger and more successful brand, based on threats of legal action and demands for exorbitant sums,” the suit says.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed last week in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Sun Day Red says it has attempted in good faith to resolve the infringement claims though negotiation and that Tigeraire has sent “outrageous monetary demands” to Sun Day Red, which is owned by TaylorMade.

The suit also says Tigeraire recently started attending golf tournaments and changed its website’s homepage to prominently feature golfers in an attempt to demonstrate market overlap.

Tigeraire did not immediately respond to request for comment on the lawsuit. A representative for Woods and TaylorMade declined to comment on the matter.

Gervonta Davis Dominates War of Words With Lamont Roach Ahead of December Clash

By
Gervonta Davis 

Just a week after the WBA sanctioned the lightweight title bout between Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach Jr., the duo have already gotten themselves into a heated discussion online. The fight is scheduled to take place on December 14 and Roach has received “special permission” by WBA to move up to the lightweight division and challenge for the title. This fight once again proves the stardom of Tank as he was once again allowed to handpick a challenger.

Fans were not happy with the announcement as Roach is quite unproven against top stars like Tank. Furthermore, he will have a disadvantage coming from a lighter-weight division. Despite being the WBA super featherweight champion, fans are not excited about the fight. But the boxer duo decided to hype up the clash when both of them got into a war of words on ‘X’ as Roach tried to troll the WBA lightweight champion just to receive a stellar response.

Gervonta Davis

Gervonta Davis’ stern advice to Roach

The argument started when heavyweight boxer Marcellus Williams asked Davis about the camp fees to spar with the champion. Williams wanted to work on his skills and had every motivation to make the situation work. However, Lamont Roach Jr. quickly responded to the tweet and stated, “He gon need to spar you bra no funny 🫠.” Davis immediately asked the meaning behind the post and Roach quoted a fan reaction who explained the tweet.

Roach quoted a fan reply who wrote, “Translation: u needa spar someone heavy cause he comin wit it,” explaining the meaning behind Roach’s tweet. According to the Reaper, the 30-0 boxer needs to spar against heavier boxers before their fight in December. And even though Davis is thinking of an easy fight, Roach will take this opportunity to make a name for himself and increase his stocks.

Tank did not let the disrespect go idly as he responded and wrote, “I advise you not to talk so much..it can be bad for you. You kno that already tho YO 😏,” stating that Roach should do the talking inside the ring and not online. He further warned Roach about the consequences of making the WBA lightweight champion angry.

Gervonta Davis issues warning to next opponent but fails to convince fans: What happened to Shakur or Lomachenko?

By
Gervonta Davis

Tank Davis will face Lamont Roach on December 14 in Houston, Texas.

Gervonta Davis is still excited about his victory this past June over Frank Martin. The devastating knockout in the eighth round cemented “Tank” Davis’ reputation as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters today. Motivated by his crushing victory, the lightweight champion issued a veiled warning to his next opponent, Lamont Roach.

Tank showed no mercy to Martin in their June 15 clash at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight champion dominated the fight from start to finish until he knocked out “The Ghost” at 1:29 minutes of the eighth round.

Gervonta Davis

After this victory, media and fans expected Davis to face one of the top prospects at 135 pounds, Shakur Stevensonor Vasyl Lomachenko. However, earlier this week, it was announced that his next opponent will be WBA super featherweight champion Lamont Roach.

With the fight scheduled for December 14, Tank (30-0, 28 KO’s) has not been slow to provoke his Roach (25-1, 10 KO’s). However, the response from fans has not been as positive as the champion would have hoped.

Davis’s provocations

In a recent post on his Instagram account, Tank Davis published a photo of his knockout of Martin. In the image, he can be seen celebrating the victory, with his rival lying on the canvas. The champion accompanied the image with the caption “December, Houston #TheOne #LongLiveBABYFRANK.”

The clear allusion to their next fight is the latest in the war of words that Davis and Roach have been maintaining since their fight was announced late in September.

“Houston, we got a muthaf*ckin problem” or “You must think I’m one of them regular n*ggas u fought or sum…LoL cut it out meezy,” have been some of the posts that Roach has dedicated to Davis on X (formerly Twitter). In turn, Tank has responded by saying, “I advise you not to talk so much…it can be bad for you. You know that already tho YO.”

Gervonta Davis

Despite the war of words, fans and analysts have questioned Davis’ choice of opponent. In principle, despite being the WBA super featherweight champion, Roach has not shown great punching power, something vital to face a knockout artist like Tank. Another point against him is that Roach will have to gain nine pounds from his natural weight to face this fight.

The responses to his recent post demonstrate the disappointment of fans: “Can you fight somebody that’s gonna actually give you some bump,” and “Yet another [cherry] pick by Tank,” were some of the reactions to Davis’ message.

Floyd Mayweather Sued For Allegedly Slapping Exotic Dancer Over Pay Dispute

By
Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather is facing a lawsuit for an apparent wage dispute gone wrong. The boxing world champion is being sued by Jasmine Woodward, an exotic dancer who worked at Mayweather’s Las Vegas nightclub ‘Girl Collection’.

As TMZ reports, Woodward filed the claims in Clark County ton Monday and alleged the incident happened on April 23, 2023 after her shift. Woodward claims that she approached Mayweather about “failure to pay her for the shifts that she worked earlier in the weekend,” and was met with “[a slap in the face] in front of other dancers and customers on the floor of the club.”

Floyd Mayweather

Her attorneys also wrote in the suit that she retreated to the locker rooms in tears and Mayweather followed her, telling her that she “could not take a joke.”

Brittany Strauss, a fellow exotic dancer from the nightclub, joined the suit as a plaintiff in support of Woodward’s assault and battery claims. The two are also suing both Mayweather and his sister Deltricia Howard for failing to pay minimum wages, illegally withholding tips, and unspecified damages.

As the Athletic reports, the dancers said Mayweather and Howard misclassified them as independent contractors rather than employees. The dancers also accused Mayweather and Howard of requiring them to pay fees and portions of their tips to other employees, which the lawsuit alleged was in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Imitating Simone Biles, Baby Biles’ Newest Obsession in Gymnastics Builds Faith for Future Career

By
Simone Bile

Simone Biles was always meant to dominate the mat; everyone around her knew as much too. However, it looks like someone else in the family takes after her too. Enter Ronni Biles, famously known as Baby Biles. The G.O.A.T.’s adorable niece has always had a penchant for the sport from the very beginning. According to her mother, Sammi Biles, the tiny top would mount herself high on the rings in her crib. However, it looks like she might want to follow in her TT’s (as she fondly calls her Auntie Simone) footsteps.

On September 30, Sammi shared an adorable video of Ronni practicing her beam moves in front of the mirror. The beam in question? A piece of tape across their wood flooring, courtesy of Grammi. Simone Biles’ sister-in-law and Ronni’s mother captioned the video, “hahah little miss ronni biles may need a @spiethamerica soft beam here soon 😂 not even 2 yet & loves gymnastics so much 😳😍” The tiny tot admires herself while she imitates the salute, nearly falling on her back.

Simone Biles

Ronnie Biles then puts her hand on the floor, promptly (or struggling to) lift her left foot up in the air before she gets back up. All this while Sammi is being supportive, cheering her daughter on. But while Baby Biles attempted the move again, their German Shepherd decided to walk right past her. However, this is where we get to see the toddler’s professionalism. Anyone else would be distracted, but not miss Ronni Biles!

Simone Biles is a natural, and it looks like the toddler might be too. Apart from tumbling and twirling, the tiny tot is a member of WCC, owned by Ronald and Nellie Biles. Sammi shares an image of Ronnie nailing her landing on the ‘beam’ before sharing a few more images and videos of what her career path would be like. Wearing a bedazzled black leotard, Baby Biles can be seen bouncing on a trampoline in one of them.

However, she finally gets to step on an actual beam, while her father, Ron Biles II, guides her across it. Curious as ever, Ronnie looks around as she takes confident strides across it before melting into her father’s arms. Sammi captioned the video, “this is everything💙”. We’re still not over the mini GK Elite loetard. We understand why Baby Biles is enthralled by the sport; she even got to experience it firsthand at the Bercy Arena. What was her experience like?

Video of Mike Tyson terrifying a fan with a sudden dramatic mood shift at the airport goes viral

Mike Tyson

Tyson left a fan frozen in fear when all he wanted was a memorable moment

Mike Tyson is regarded as one of the most formidable personalities in boxing. With his powerful physique and fierce reputation, Tyson has always been respected, making it clear that approaching him when he’s in a bad mood could spell trouble for anyone.

In a recent incident, a daring fan approached Tyson, hoping to capture a brief moment with the heavyweight champion. However, Tyson’s unexpected reaction left the fan frozen in shock during a live TikTok broadcast. Those who witnessed the moment were left on edge, fearing what could have unfolded next.

A close call between Tyson and a fan

Thank you for watching

Speculation started to fly regarding the true cause of Tyson’s bad mood. With the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, he is just moments away from stepping into the ring against Jake Paul at one of the most iconic venues in the United States, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Tyson could either rise to legendary status by taking down the YouTuber or face a frustrating reality if he struggles to accept a victory from someone like Paul. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Mike Tyson

What exactly triggered Tyson’s sudden mood change remains a mystery. Perhaps he caught a glimpse of the fan’s terrified expression and paused out of compassion. Or maybe he realized that his every move was being recorded live, and in today’s social media landscape, one could go viral for the wrong reasons in mere minutes. Either way, the tension in the air was palpable.

For a brief moment, it felt like the interaction could have gone sideways, but thankfully, it didn’t. Instead, it became a “legendary moment” for the fan to remember. If this TikTok user had been more insistent, one can’t help but wonder if he would have provoked Tyson’s infamous wrath. That’s a question many fans might be left pondering.
