Floyd Mayweather's Stomach Punching Partner (and other tidbits)

Floyd Mayweather and Nate Jones

SI's Greg Bishop has been in Las Vegas the past few weeks spending time at Floyd Mayweather's gym and filed this piece with 10 random observations from his time with the champ. Among the revelations: Tom Brady had to call in a favor to CBS President Les Moonves to score tickets to the fight, Duke's basketball team has too many black players and Nate Jones (a former Olympic heavyweight) has been hired solely to wear a chest protector and be punched repeatedly in the stomach. My favorite is that Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas gave Mayweather a painting of him smashing Pacquiao’s face into pieces.

In other news, the contract for the fight hasn't been signed yet, though this $1 million championship belt for the winner is a pretty good sign that the fight will happen. Referee Kenny Bayless hopes it goes off without a hitch. He is set to earn a record $25,000 for the fight, while the three judges will each earn $20,000. 

New Sport Alert

Ever watch MMA and feel like it would be much better if the fighters were in full-body armor and could use swords and shields? If so, may I suggest traveling to Russia for a M-1 Medieval show.

NBA Round-Up

An angry Bradley Beal accused the Raptors of calling the Wizards punks, then led his team to a 117-106 victory and a 2-0 series lead ... John Wall scored 26 points (including this gem) and dished out 17 assists, though that won't change Colin Cowherd's opinion of the Wizards guard ... LeBron James showed why he's the NBA's best closer in a 99-91 victory over the Celtics. This halfcourt alley-oop from LeBron to Kevin Love is must-see ... Mavs guard Rajon Rondo was benched for the final 23 minutes of Tuesday night's loss to Houston, which led this Dallas writer to destroy Rondo in his postgame column. In other news,J.J. Watt put an end to those pesky Caroline Wozniacki rumors and found a new woman to dance with.
